dvv33 Granted this person is banned as of today, he had me email him about me wanting to buy a set of prc springs. In his email he offered the whole kit plus arp head bolts for 180. Thought it was to good to be true. As I was finalizing on the deal. But he asked for a money gram/western union. And he also said that his PayPal was dormant.

And that's why I banned him.
Let me share something with you, gents. Let's call it Classifieds Mod 101...
Someone informs me via PM that a guy had been PM'ing him about a WTB ad. Right away my ears perk and I'm on the alert.
I go to the reported members page... 0 posts / 0 feedback. 0 posts doesn't always mean ZERO posts, as posts in the classifieds and what-not do not count towards your post count, so I check "posts" first. No need to look at threads he's started at that point.
I then look at the last few folks to visit his page. I right click every username and open them in new tabs. I then click on THEIR statistics, and all threads started by THEM.
When the most recent 1 or 2 threads of all the page visitors are WTB ads, I automatically know what's going on. I take into account as well if it's the same part or type of part, or complete opposite sides of the spectrum.
I pass this on to you guys for a bit of knowledge and how not to get scammed.

Yep...got a PM from the same guy a couple days ago. Told me in the very first PM to contact him through email about the parts I wanted.
So...I looked up his profile and saw that he had just joined that day! I told him to send me a full description of what he had, and pictures to my PM. Never heard back - obviously.
I was afraid to even e-mail him...at the least, I'd get e-bombed with spam. At the worst, I'd get hacked even if I didn't send him money.
Good on ya Doc for banning this bastard!
