    Be Aware of Scammers!

    It starts out I created a post under Parts Wanted for some clean E36 M3 seats. I then get a PM and they say to email them because they have some seats. So then I emailed and they then replied with pics that were cut and pasted from this post:

    http://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/sh...M3-sport-seats

    Here is the message:

    Yes, the seats are heated and fully working. I do understand your concern and I also would be careful when buying any item sight unseen, but i'm just a retired God-fearing man of over 65yrs of age and I have been honest and sincere in all my financial dealings and life endeavors. I will never rip-off your hard earned money as I work hard for every penny I earn.

    I would have loved to take PayPal but my PayPal account is currently dormant. You have nothing to worry about as Money gram is very strict and very secure. I would need to tender a recently paid utility bill and a valid id card both bearing my home address so payments can be traced if anything goes wrong.

    Thanks,
    Ricky


    Watch out people for rky46. This person surfs the forums for people to send them money for phony product. I figured it out by searching the forum for M3 seats and seeing the seat pictures he emailed me. Messed up. Just thought people should know. Have a good day.

    I believe you can report PM's - can you report it so the mod staff can see it and deal with it accordingly?

    It should be a little triangle with a ! in it on the bottom left of the PM, displayed below the user's signature. Just to the right of the "Forward" button.

    He merely neglects to mention that his god is the almighty dollar.

    His grammar, spelling, and sentence construction is certainly above board. Interesting.
