Default Possible Scam attempt
I was contacted via PM on a part I posted in the want to buy forum by a new member. Member name is JVD11. Very fishy, be careful if he contacts you. No PayPal, wouldn't respond with a picture and today's date and is hearing impaired so cannot receive phone calls.

I also received a PM with no post count. Emailed and he sent pics. Only wanted payment thru Western Union or Money Gram because PayPal was "dormant". Sent him a response declining offer with my explanation that there is no protection for me and that it seems like a fishy deal.

No response to my email after that. Definitely beware!
