Hi everyone, maybe the scammer is reading this also.
I posted in the wanted forum and was contacted by a member. Was told they knew someone with the part and to email them. I emailed the person and after several messages I agreed to buy the item.
The person insisted I pay family and friends on Paypal for IRS reasons. Once the payment went through the FBBO message from the member disappeared and now 10 days later they are not answering messages from me. There were a few red flags I can see now but at the time I was happy to find the part. Can FBBO admin access the deleted message to block this person or would it be gone forever?
Here are the email address and PayPal names associated with the scam.

First time I have ever been scammed, I feel like a fool but will be wiser for the lesson.
I hope this helps someone.
