Sean Dezart Posted July 29, 2022 Share #1 Posted July 29, 2022 When you post a parts-wanted ad OR reply to and ad/thread requesting a part, beware of the responses : can be a simple reply, usually a private/direct message. The guy might even refer you to another saying ''I've seen this guy advertsing a few'' It'll all sound totally convincing and along with the request for paypal via 'friends/family', which, to a member on this forum seems reasonable too. Check out their member status : for how long they've been a member here and have they posted anywhere else and what was it - in most cases only a VERY brief time, sometimes the same day and with no other public activity (hence the PMs). Admin/moderators - impossible to screen every request for membership however may it be possible that every new member must post a message in the presentation section to unblock their activity elsewhere ?

Sean, you can do this yourself, i've done this before on a topic of myself.. don't ask me how... but if you want to change it in a month or so you can! (older topic's it does not work anymore.)

87mj Posted November 12, 2023 Share #8 Posted November 12, 2023 I realize this is an old post but you may also want to be careful with a guy "Emma wayne". I posted a general question about door skins. He sent me a pm indicating he had some for sale... etc.etc.etc. I should have known better because at the time, he recently joined the forum. But I checked his profile and he still visits regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
