derbykaren400
I had a issue with derbykaren400 last week, they answered a wanted ad I had and asked to contact them thru g mail which I did. I asked for pics of the item which they sent. Something just wasn't right so I asked for a pic of the item with a dollar bill next to it and that created a whole sh-- load of problems. So beware of them.

A tip: for whatever reason, scammers from overseas often use screen names that are made up of two unusual names plus a number (like derbykaren400) so if you see that sort of thing it's usually a good clue. |

9 of my 21 years overseas was in Nigeria. I used to like getting the scams about the dead ambassador, etc leaving money, and after a bit of back and forth emails, I’d take a picture of something local and tell them I could be there in about 10 minutes, It would usually end the emails for a while.

I also had a contact with jeff1000, he sent me pictures of a hood latch listed on ebay, I guess the o ly way to buy parts is from ebay or local.

Seriously. I'm amazed that anyone keeps getting fooled by these scams.

Would be nice to require a post count before selling but I’ve also snagged some good parts from new members on other sites before. I just made sure I knew someone close by that could go there there was a guy on here recently that had a RAII block in California spoke w him a few times seemed pretty legit but I didn’t end up jumping because I didn’t have anyone nearby. May have missed out a great deal but I’d rather have my $$$

I think common sense, sometimes fails when some see the magical "I have this part" response and clearly overlook the obvious red flags.

Doing business with established PY members only would be the safest bet.
Any new members without any posts are highly suspect. No matter how badly you might need something they’re offering just resist the temptation, it’s just not worth the risk. |

Don't trust Kurt parker on here as trynsave. Misrepresented a radio I bought. I sent it back at my expense. Was told by him that he would refund me. Researching him online showed other people having the same issue with him
