FR528 scam

Scam artist at work. He messaged me asking if I were still looking for an intake and left me an email (frankrz481@gmail.com)

I checked his profile and it shows no posts and no trader feedback. His activity both times I checked his profile was messaging other members who also happen to be looking for parts.

He followed up with an email today that read:

I still have the EFI LS7 Holley Hi Ram for sale in excellent shape and
condition. I'm asking $300 shipped for it. I will be shipping via UPS
or FedEx whichever you prefer and shall accept payment via Money gram
as my PayPal is dormant. What's your shipping address?

Frank Ramirez is the name that came with the email.

I can't wait to send off $300!!!

Wow, an intake (in excellent shape AND condition) that normally retails in the $600-$700 range for only $300?

You'd be a fool not to go for this fantastic deal!

Ask him to send it to you COD and that you'll gladly pay the added COD fees.

Just because he's a new member and you're really not sure if you can trust him.........
