BEWARE of SCAMERS on the forum

[LukasM3]

I have recently been contacted by 3 scams after posting a WTB add. Be carful, this is how they do it:
-they send you private message informing you to contact someone at an email address they give you. Then you email them and they send you pictures but only accept payment with paypal gift or other insecure ways.

These are scamer and emails they use:
jergra tommorgan017@gmail.com,
FranBee francisburton1500@gmail.com
swarez67chrisjh365@gmail.com

All joined the forum the same day they contacted me or a day before. The only safe way is to use paypal with buyer protection or better yet to meet in person with the seller.

If you recieve an email from a new member with 0 posts referring a friend/email that has your needed parts beware. They had a few parts I needed and sent pictures but only purchased 1 to see if legit. They still haven't sent part and want me to order more to save on shipping. Beware as scammers like this that spoil the site for good people enjoying their love for cars.

This sounds familiar as it happened to me on the Want to By side of this forum.

Yes I have been contacted by this goon that uses multiple alias He had quite a few parts with pictures so I wasted $30 on 1 to see if legit. He wanted me to purchase all of them to save on shipping. Still hasn't sent part and still requesting to purchase more parts. Johnmain, Elvis Dotsun

I have reported the ones that came my way. And they was revoked quickly.

They tiped contacting following:

dbana1712@gmail.com

chrisjh365@gmail.com

melissabrown1500@gmail.com

But I guess is about pointless listing up what mail adr they use. Because they use so many and it is real easy to auto generate one new one for each scam with little efford.

They are so easy to spot tho. They even use pictures from this forum to illustrate the "part" they have for sale.
One even sent me pictures of wrong item and starting to try convincing me it was the right one I was after (first picture on Google using name of part I WTB). When I confronted them they sayd sorry, wrong picture. Here is the correct one.. That one was still the wrong part, and picture nr 2 from the Google search

I know it is already a sticky, but please be aware of the following scumbags, who are trying to rip people off...

in the PM's click report button and report it to the mod team and we will ban them, but the fight will never end, admin is working on it

[pbonsalb]

Don’t buy anything from a new member. Even if not new, look at a few posts to make sure they are real posts and not generic or non responsive ones to build up a count. And always use a refundable payment system if you are not familiar with the person. All this is common sense. Online is the new Wild West—limited regulation, hard to catch bad guys.

Unfortunately the forums are full of scammers...

Ph 657-385-3844 Took $140 for an armrest and never shipped it.

Ph 318-302-2671 Emailed me saying a friend told him I was looking for an E30 Armrest. Said he was an FBI agent and could help find the guy but couldnt even speak english. LOL THEN he tried to send me the same pics the previous guy sent me. BEWARE.

Im 20yr Vet and 15yr govt employee at VA and own 8 BMW's. First time I've ever been scammed in the forums in 15yrs. Really disappoints me.
