Hello gents,

A few days ago my damn hood flew off of my car at the track. I posted a want to buy ad on here for a new hood. I was private messaged by a member who joined just a few days prior and has no posts. His name is o1dbull on here. He messaged me a phone number to contact him stating he has a hood for sale. I text message the number as the pm told me to and I got a response 7 hours later. After a few photos went back and forth and poor description of the hood he has for sale and a few unanswered questions in my texts to him we settled on a price of $350 shipped before he even knew where he was shipping it to. This was offered up by him to me, not something I asked for.

To make a long story short, because of what I do for a living I have access to some databases. He provided me and corresponded with me on a phone number that returns to a landline to an individual in Kansas. Told me his paypal was hacked and needed a money gram for payment. Asked when I'd be "making payment so he can arrange for shipping" which just doesn't sound like a person in this hobby to me lol... and the name and address he provided to me for the money gram order was a name in Texas that does not jive with the date of birth he has listed on his profile here (which was made less than a week ago) nor does the name and address jive with what I found in my database when searching them separately, and none of it matches his phone number. I relay this information to him tell him what I do for a living not to bs me and this seems like a scam and all he said was, "you must be talking to the wrong person call me" ... so I chose to ignore and move on. Just a fair warning, not a confirmed scammer but seems awfully fishy to me...
