Default Probable scammer


$430 shipped overnight for T84 headlights should have been a red flag, but I didn't listen to my inner scam alert voice. Pay particular attention to his/her email addresses.

Sorry to hear you were scammed by someone identifying himself as batman4t4. We banned the scammer that was using that ID earlier this year, but he continues to lurk on the site and contact people directly when they list their email address or phone number in a WTB thread.

If you get any further suspicious solicitations, please alert a moderator, rather than proceeding with a transaction.

It's a continuing process to get rid of the scammers because they register a new user ID and start contacting people again, particulalry those who post WTB threads and list their phone number or email address.
