Sent a message to a member about brake calipers and got a text message from a number I thought was him. Turns out he was just a scammer. Sent him $300 and now won’t answer my calls or text. Not sure how he got my number to text me but said he would take my offer. Only sent half of payment until I received the parts. These people are absolutely shitty in my opinion.

I received this in my private message and there is a common area code although the phone number sent to me is different but there is a common area code of "414-" Folks be careful and don't fall for the okey-doke scam from people wanting to take things offline.
