Found one! A few days ago I posted a wanted for a scalloped axel. This guy got back to me with pictures that were the exact copies of a Google search.
His name is (martins philipe <martinsphilipe3@gmail.com>) He said he was located in Louisiana.
I found one on eBay, one that Ron had.

Tyler at it again! He is using tylersmt780gmail.com for an email address. Tyler Smith is the name he's using. He is not a member here. Same MO, a member puts up a wanted ad and by some odd chance just so happens to have exactly what you are looking for.

Lots of red flags on this one so fellas, please be careful and don't fall pray to these scammers. If it's too good to be true, IT NOT TRUE!

I asked him for CURRENT pictures to prove he was not a scammer. He sent a Google photo. Email address was different than the one I was corresponding to.

This was his answer:


I’m not a scammer here’s my paypal address tebohorautenbach@gmail.com
kindly make payment using the buyer’s protection features

And send me a screenshot of payment when sent so i can proceed with the shipping process as soon as possible

Best Regards
Martins

Leo Lim/Leo Liam/Dexy Timmy or whatever he's going by now is also using dewaneholmes@gmail.com as a contact. Fellas, beware! Do not take any contact you get as the real deal.

Bill, I think this thread and the others is helping get the message out.

I certainly hope so. I really hate seeing our members victimized.

Here is another one, Bill, H already pointed him out very recently as well.

This is what I know about him. Goes with forum name Leo Liam.
Emailed me with name Sam Bornice, bornicesam@gmail.com
Said later his name is Leo Liam though and said he is in Louisiana and tried to sell me what he called an original 6V GPW generator.
He had difficulty answering specific questions, like what model generator it exactly was. And he much pushed on a payment with Zelle that was again to another name: cenagodwin@yahoo.com
And no I was suspicious and saw through it and luckily didn’t pay him.

These people are so annoying as we just want good parts for our vehicles and enjoy our hobby. Be careful out there folks.

Another trying to scam a member. Long story short, a member placed a wanted ad and was answered (through email) by Joshua Vickers, member name DarrenMorrison00. The member stated the item he was looking for was offered by this Darren guy at a "very good price". The member reached out to me and I was able to confirm Joshua Vickers (DarrenMorrison00) is a new member joining in February 2022 with zero posts to his name. He has been removed from the forum. morrisondarren239@gmail.com is the email address in his profile, the email used to contact the member is joshua.vickers923@gmail.com.

Guys, please continue to be diligent and help protect one another.
