Default Just a warning might be true might be not

I was contacted by member sc123 stating he has a ysi and sent me couple of pictures from another member that listed the exact same pictures and same discreption, when i asked for more pictures he said he has it wrapped up for the quickest buyer to not delay him!

Totally talks like a scammer, especially saying “I can consider selling for “

Sounds fishy. I always check the user's profile to see how long they have been a member and what they have contributed to the forum threads. Helps me understand a bit better who I might be dealing with.

He is a scammer. Tried to sel me a corsa extreme that another member posted recently, even used the same pics. I contacted the original owner and confirmed.

May not seem fair, but the more information I can have on a person's posting history and integrity helps me avoid dealing with unproven and potentially untrustworthy individuals.

Guys, I posted a thread a few days ago bc I'm looking for an old discontinued set of replica wheels.

This user PM'd me, told me to email him, it was the same SWZ 221 email in the screenshots. His info/pics seemed legit till the point he wanted to do a Walmart Money transfer bc he didn't have PayPal.

I just saw this thread, didn't recognize the username at first, but when I saw the screenshot with the email address, that is the same person.
