In response to my request for a CA brake drum I received a private message from someone called Harriswalk960. This 'person' has zero posts on the forum, which certainly raises a red flag.

I copied and pasted his message:

"Hello, are you still looking for CA Brake Drum? Stewart has one for sale and it’s in excellent condition at a reasonable price. Text Stewart here; stewartcollins748@gmail.com. Contact him to know if it's still available."

I do not intend to make contact unless someone here can vouch for them.

Got the same kind of deal here on my wtb series 3 d17 parts thread from Harriswalk960
Here is what he had to say:

“I Hello, are you still looking for right hand side hood and front grill for series 3 d17? Stewart has some for sale and it’s in excellent condition at a reasonable price. Text Stewart here; stewartcollins748@gmail.com. Contact him to know if it's still available.”

anything that says " my buddy has just what you need.. excellent condition.. low price"... is 100% FRAUD.... If they dont have 30-40 posts on this site, DONT CONTACT THEM !

Nothing wrong with Gmail--- just very popular and EVERYBODY has an account.. easy to get, so yea... includes some spammers..
