My apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong place. Mods, please take the appropriate action if I am....
I suspect Mercy0002 to be part of a scam.
I have a WTB posting here on this site for some rear body moving wheels and I have the identical posting listed on the For E Bodies Only site. I was PM'd by Mercy0002 on the E Bodies site but want to get the word out here as well.
This person contacted me just to provide me with an email address to a second person [allegedly in Montana] who was selling parts I posted on E Bodies that I was interested in finding. Mercy0002 never replied back to the PM I sent to them and Mercy0002 has no other activity on the E Bodies site. Zero.
I did email the Montana person, and he wanted me to send a Money Order for the parts to yet a third party [a female] living in a Montana town. I was given her mailing address. [First red flag].
This person's emails were mostly 'normal', but he used the word 'mate' once too often and more importantly, he ignored specific questions I asked him. [Second red flag.]
I really grew suspicious and thought I was being scammed when the person emailing me said they couldn't do a PayPal transaction. I did a GOOGLE search in the Montana town for both the female and the male I was emailing with and couldn't find any record of any kind for either of them. [Third and final red flag.]
I broke off email communication and did not send anyone any money.
