Abso-freakin'-loutely....
A forum member on here was ripped off for $8,700 on a midyear frame/chassis/drivetrain a few years back. He wired the money before seeing the piece and on the drive down to retrieve the frame found out from ANOTHER person that was ripped off the same way (for the same amount) that it was a scam....
When it comes to getting stuff cheap, "....hope springs eternal in the breast of man"; generally with disastrous results

CL is a haven for bottom of the barrel people, have found selling is about impossible on there,; sorting through scams thugs people who want to rob you or gather personal info its too much of a headache to deal with anymore. Most car sites are winding up that way also that used to be known for more legit stuff.
After one email I insist on calls only that will tell you the rest. Ignore texts.

In the major markets like where I am, Boston, 75% of the auto adds are scams. I go on it every day. They are sooo easy 2 recognise it's rediculous. I use to flag them but it's just a big wsste of time.
