1972_Targa Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Ugh. I was trying to buy a shift surround for a 71 2002, and Kevin Samuel said he happened to have one. He sent a believable pic. Paid $125 PP Friends and family (my bad) and radio silence for the past two weeks. I started research today on his email address and found he's in the Czech Republic. Also found he's been trying to sell shit he doesn't possess on a Corvette forum. Heads up, be smarter than me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators steve k. Posted November 1, 2022 Administrators Share Posted November 1, 2022 I am sorry to hear that you were scammed. I am not seeing any users on the forum with that email address or that name. How were you contacted by this person? Steve K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bavariaboy Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Beware of paypal "friends and family". Unless it is someone faq forum members(plural!!) vouch for beware. Truth: I consider myself an experienced buyer and seller. Yet, shortly after I joined this forum three years ago I was blindsided by scammers over chrome bumpers. You have NO recourse with f&f. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972_Targa Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share Posted November 1, 2022 Steve, I listed my email address in my FAQ WTB ad. Lessons learned here. I just need to be more diligent/smarter in the future... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
