It would be helpful if you posted his email message so we knew what to look for or what the aledged scam was suppose to be.

kKdARIAN

totally man.. give us some details so we know what to look out for... he could be using all kinds of email addresses w/ names etc, let us know what the actual scam is.

sleeperek

its some guy from south africa claiming to be a reputable business..and he interested in my greddy emanage...C'mon its a no brainer...he wanted my info so he can cut me a check more than the amount and for me to send him the rest.....Also I don't see how a business man in africa will be interested in a engine perfomance parts....get the picture now...

HNDAPWR

japspecjohn

2000Ek

Just had this ******* email me today about my spoon mirrors. I said send me cash in an unmarked envelope and gave him a made up address. I doubt he will be emailing me again. F*&K SCAMMERS!

sleeperek

Some people here on HT are just plain stupid...You try helping them out by warning them, all they say is that he didn't scam me yet so i can't call him a scammer...Lame asses...I posted this same thread on Integra and some peeps in there are just plain dumb and stupid...trying to defend the scammers...they probably the scammers themselves...so watch out for those guys that are backing up the scammers... .late...

I hope you aren't talking about me or kKdARIAN...because if you are let me say this.

First, the point of my post and kKdARIAN's was the fact you typed a totally vauge post. There are thousands of scams out there. We just wanted you to be more specific.

Also, this is a repost because anyone who visits this site will eventually will go to "Vehicles for Sale" and see this thread: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=641985 The very same scam you tried telling us about, but this guy did a much better job at telling us about it. Besides, this is one of the more obvious scams out there.

No one is defending any scammer and we sure do appreciate you giving us the warning, just learn how to express thoughts properly through your keyboard. OK kid?

/\/\ man that sucks alot. i hate scammers they rip off people big time, just so they can do everything the easy way.

sleeperek

I wasn't alking about anyone in this forum..it was my bad for not being specific on my post....I was talking about the peeps in the INTEGRA forum...

Matty.

Wow I am real sorry to hear about it. Unfortunately its impossible for everyone out there to be informed about every scam out there.

How are the scammers finding out about your car, parts, etc.....through H-T, or autotrader....?

I wish someone email me about my BRAND NEW 2004 M3... I'd like to get a money order from them for the amount of $70,000 and a nice address where I can ship the car too. Did I say car... I meant the (6) 12 gauge shotgun bullets in my shotgun!

MOTHERFUCKEN SCAMMERS!

This is by far the oldest on going scam out there, if people don't know about this there is something wrong. peoples lives have been ruined by this scam but there really isn't anything anyone can do about it unless you just dno't repsond to what they have to say.

This is such old news........but even still, if someone offered thousands more
then you were asking for something, that would make me wonder a bit.

The story was, the person pulling the scam in africa would say they already
had a cashiers check in the amount of xxxxx$ and it would be much easier
for them to send it to you and you return the change to them. By the time
everything went through in the US, it was too late, and most people already
sent the product out. It happend to a lot of engine importers a while back.

BoostinEJ1

haha i posted my gsr wheels for sale on partstrader and i got 6 emails from him all sayingthe same **** over and over, what a fool.

B16Drag

Dude tell him to send it to me! haha

Better yet tell him to send it to a local police department and then have them find the prints on the cashier's check... that would just be a GOLDEN egg.. aha =P~ If it is indeed originatin from the US
