Default Possible scam

I received a pm about a part I was looking for from David136. He had a guy with my part, Michael Madison. [email protected]. Wanted to be paid by zelle or cashapp. Both denied the transaction. Zelle didnt give a reason and cashapp said denied for my protection. When i got to checking David 136 joined RCU yesterday and has no posts. Beware.

This happened to me 3 times. I had posted wanted ads and received PM that someone with the name of Michael (different e-mail address) in Texas has it for sale and i should contact and buy it. I like to think i am smarter than that!

Yeah happened to me, Posted a want add for some Tamjet parts and someone pmed me that a friend had what I needed. The person sent a pic of the whole jet. I googled Tamjet f18 and the pic he sent came up at the top of the list. Then a day later another pm from someone else with the same story and they sent pics from the same jet. I thought it was weird someone would part out a complete jet.
