If you receive a suspicious PM or see a suspicious post, please report it to moderators by clicking the triangle outlined in red.

If we confirm it's a scammer, we will ban the user ID and send warnings to everybody the scammer has contacted.

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.

If you will report the scammer's user ID to moderators, we can ban him and send warnings to everybody he contacted. Report suspicious solicitations by clicking on the triangle outlined in red on each PM or post.

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.

Thanks for the heads-up. The scammer was banned last night and warnings sent to everybody he contacted via PMs.

Just received this from my WTB thread. Another scammer. Looks like he's been messaging others.

Same thing just happened to me. Someone named “slowtree” tried to sell someone a cargo liner that I have posted for sale.

User Mefly2 reported this scammer and he was banned by moderators. Quickest way to alert moderators of a suspected scammer is to use the report post or PM button (triangle outlined in red on each post/PM.
