Shyster selling BMW MC parts (fraud)
#2
@maxredline, sorry you got scammed. A while ago I received a PM on this BBS with a similar offer for an item I had listed as a WTB. Since the offer was to contact a "friend" I didn't respond. The scenario of "I have a friend who has that part...." is a usual scammer tactic. This is so particularly if the message/offer comes from someone with only 1 or 2 posts to the site you're on. Unless I'm sending payment to someone I have good reason to trust I always insist on using regular PayPal payment functions and offer to add in the 3-4% PayPal fees. If I'm scammed I'll have a way to possibly get my money back and a scammer will usually not agree to regular PayPal. Be careful out there.

Edit: I actually still have that PM! It's from BBS user @vexov60199 and said:
"Hey buddy if you are still interested in getting a nice Wunderlich nav relocation kit, I have a friend who has that for sale . You can kindly contact him up for price and pictures if still interested.

Ollischris742@gmail.com

Goodluck buddy"
Happiness comes not from what you have, but from enjoying all that you do have no matter how much or little that may be.
Be stubborn with your dream but flexible with your path
