I did email an address supplied via PM on R&S by a one day old profile.
Regarding a pair of adapters I am after.
This was his response
Yes it's available, I'm in MD my asking price is $585.00 with the shipping if you are interested get back to me.
So obviously a scammer.
My response
Hi Kevin
Thanks for the reply.
Seems the person who directed me to you is not too bright.
His reply then:
I don't understand you
I smell a rat.
Just be aware.

I ran the email address through Ecosia search engine and it came up with another site where they were discussing scammers Hotwire has dealt with it already. I am sure that’s like three Kitchen fitters, they will be back,

I have received one as well. Recently? Or from the ‘deleted’ member? If there is a ‘new’ user scamming then posting the username for HoTWire would be useful.

Morning Rich, I suspect that the deleted account was the one Hotwire had deleted pronto that had sent me the two initial offers to supply. I think it is the same person(s) operating on various forums. Their grammar and language use is a bit like “English second or third language”

I got one from an account that has now been deleted.
I won’t post the full email address in case it goes against forum rules but it started with “cwood”.

Probably no better but it’s probably an automated script that’s generating DMs using the title and username from posts in the wanted thread as a source for the script rather than a human sitting typing away DMs.
Is it possible to put a “human check” on the send DM page that might stop the auto scripts?

If you still want to buy reply directly to my email : kronski_12041@yahoo.comBeware. I've had emails from this one offering me something I'm after, using two photos of similar things of low resolution clearly lifted off an image search, and very definitely replying to me as a person, not a bot.

It’s definitely scammer season when it comes to car parts. Quite a few people getting done on certain Facebook groups. (generally the older generation who need to be spoon fed the interwebs on services like FB).
It’s pretty easy to catch them out (and not get caught out yourself) with little effort. Ask for another pic of said item, the other side or something. If they can’t provide it or it’s taken in totally different conditions/different item it’s obvious they don’t have it. And for f-ks sake stop being tight and don’t use f&f for people you don’t know. The fees are less than 4%, pay it and you’re safe.

Used to ask for pic with a date, or my name on years ago on dating websites, amazing how fast the blonde with big eyes disappeared What is f&f Dez ? .
