Default GP on Corbeau Seats Scam??

Earlier I noticed a post in the C5 Parts for Sale suggesting the initiation a GP on Corbeau Seats. Since I have been in the market for aftermarket seats, I naturally chimed in with a positive affirmation. I then received a PM as follows:

I saw on the forum you were interested in Corbeau seats. I PM'd the guy who started the thread and told him my company would be more than happy to support a group purchase.

I own Volpaz.com, and although we are mainly a Mustang aftermarket dealer, we are looking to expand, especially with our line of Corbeau seats.

If things fall through, I can promise you about $100 off retail pricing on the pair of seats! GP pricing for single orders.

If you let me know what year/make/model you have and what style/color/fabric Corbeau seats you'd like, I can give you the lowest price possible.

You can PM me back here or the quickest way would be to email me directly at Sales@Volpaz.com.

Thanks,

Tim Sylvestre

And my response was as follows:

Tim,

I will be glad to tell you that I do not trust your intentions and I have forwarded this PM to the system administrators.

If you are a serious vendor, this forum would accept your support and provide you a better status and recognition that you deserve.

If you are less than that, then I wish you less.

This is just in case others received this PM also.

Hmm.. seems fishy. Livernois Motorsports just did a large GP on Corbeau Seats. PM Chad@LivernoisMotors and see if he will extend the pricing to you.

May be legit, but I'd be skeptical too.

This guy isnt a paid advertiser and here and it may as well be a scam on top of trying to make a buck without giving any to the site in the first place.

If you havent spoken to Chad yet, please do.
