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.

Goodluck buddy"
