So I am looking for an after market exhaust for a GT200 on the for sale forum. and i get replies from members who have no posts or their first post linking me by email to other members. Is this Bullshit or what?

can you please PM these members names?

to all: if you think it may be the subject of scam please report it or PM a moderator

(yes, you may PM me. yes, I will be polite. promise)

to run it all back: if you post a wanted ad, and you get PM's with people offering that item that are new members or have a very low post count it is most likely a scam.

thanks all!

I've learned to ask for a snail mail addy and a phone number. If they refuse, you know they are not real!
