Scam?

I have only been on this forum for about a year and a half. I was inquiring on the items for sale about headers, and i have 2 people PM that they have a set of brand new ones for sale. I checked both their status and they are new this month no posts nothing. And this isnt the original person who made the post. Does this happen alot on here? Just seems really fishy. I would think if they also had new headers they would list them.

If they are new and their first action is to PM you about new headers for sale, I would say it is probably a scam.

definitely a scam. That is typically a dead giveaway, if the join date is the same month that they messaged you, likely scammer.

When even a moderator is powerless, oh well...

You should be promoted to forum admin with full executive powers , you've contributed more than enough to earn it.

I'll add that it's too bad we can't burn these scammers houses down once we track them down. Very frustrating not to make a scammer pay for the pain they knowingly cause others.

I would be out 1500 if I didn't notice they were new this month and no post. Both had zl1 and sent me a outside email. Just didn't feel right.
