    Buyer beware - if contacted by “partjunkyard” and advised that seller “Autos World” has the part you are looking for - do not engage. Autos World email is worldautos217@gmail.com

    Ugh... Sorry to hear about that. I got taken for a couple hundred a while back from a similar scam. I would have bought more of the supposedly available parts if I didn't recognize the picture they sent me of the part from another thread on another forum.

    Recommendation to all: If you don't know the seller, ask them to show you a photo of the part with a dated newspaper as part of the image. Or ask them for a video of the part with their voice saying your user name. Basically, anything that forces the seller to prove they're not just copying illegitimate pictures and pretending that it belongs to them.

    Haha! yup, they tried getting me to send funds too.
    They wouldn't provide me with a pic of the current date and the item I was looking for, so I just blocked further emails.

    The Asshole is trying to work me right now, today. Beware, the thief!!!
    Do not be gullible!!! He finds pics of what you want from other sites.
    He is obviously not a born and raised American, his spelling and sentence structure (syntax) is off.
    Possibly Middle Eastern
    , not sure!!!
    He may wear some laundry on his head.
    I wonder if he knows why they call the Camel the “ship of the desert”?
    They are full of Arab Seamen!!!

    You gotta fuck with them and waste their time.

    I'm on day 2 with a scammer on a 1991 VFR. It's a lot of fun. You gotta take on just the right combo of fairly fucking dumb and newly acquired money.

    Dude, you can waste time screwing with these guys if you want, I don’t want to. They are all over the WWW
    trying to scam us. It doesn’t take long to figure them out if you are already
    skeptical for any reason. They usually get to how you can send the money right away. I just got back to this guy a few minutes ago telling him to GFH.

    I always tell them I'm traveling and can meet them where they are. They usually stop immediately.

    Maybe a barter option too. A lot of fun can be had without a lot of investment of time!

    What makes you think I haven't?! Pretty much every time I see them, I post, message them, and comment on their profile.

    FUCK OFF SCAMMER
