Hi all, I've noticed a fairly common type of scammer has started posting in the parts for sale forum.
They'll reply to an existing thread with something like "I've got one to sell too--email me for details."
Then, they scam you. They have no parts.
It's a rampant scheme online, so please do not fall for it, and downvote any attempts you see. If a new user just happens to have exactly what you're looking for... it's a scam. We're nuking them as quickly as we can.

I wondered about that guy trying to sell the brembos
Thanks for the reminder, and thanks for your vigilance. One more reason to love this place; much appreciated the way you keep taking out the trash! 😁

In reply to Patrick :
Aren't you the guy who claimed to have built a nitroused LS engined 240z for under $2000?
Yea, that Edward dude seemed kinda sketch.

I know what to do about those scammers too, email me for more info
If this is true, now I'm afraid to contact sellers. I usually come on here to purchase needed parts and so far, it's been great!
They usually piggyback on existing ads.
plus, if it's an established member, you're probably fine.
