 Topic: Possible scammers

Be wary of dealing with either of these guys. Shawn Douglas, Sean Robert or Whiteben185.
Got a pm from Whiteben185 who gave the email address to contact this Shawn guy about some parts I was looking for. Conversation through email , text & phone call started feeling like a scam pretty fast.

I posted a while back looking for an AC part and received messages from bchrist3, who had just joined, not posted and hasn't been on since January 12.

Thank you !
Just a suggestion, but you might want to check out bchrist3 also. He still has not posted anything, but sent me a PM trying to sell a part.

both of those a holes messaged me about the tie bars I am looking for. By the wording they didn't sound legit, so I ignored them. Cleaning out the inbox, I saw those again, and had since seen this thread, and all be darned, those are the 2 names, whiteben, and bchrist. Man I hate scumbags! Need to prosecute these scammers to the full extent!
