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.

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?

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....?

it's a pretty big operation-apparently all these guys do is surf the net all day looking for stuff for sale.i've gotten these offers off of the RC51 Motorcycle forum,and Ebay.

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.

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
