Default Be aware Scammer using PY

Be aware scammers are on py. Back in august I posted wtb Ohc 6 harmonic balancer. I’ve got some guy stating he has what I need. He pm me from an account on py BigDoginTn which is now suspended but in the beginning I text messaged him thinking he was legit. He even used a phone number from Chicago. And now has sent me pictures of the same exact pictures listed on chicagomusclecarparts.. Most likely trying to scam wtb postings.

Always check the profile of people sending you a PM - if they're brand new to the site and have zero posts they're almost certainly a scammer. Especially, if they want you to contact them (or a 'friend') offline at some gmail address.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
