Hey folks

Noticing a slightly alarming trend here on posts where folks are looking for a part

Unfortunately this trend is firmly established on Facebook

Just putting this out there for folks that may not see what’s going on with Facebook

The volume of scammers is absolutely insane. Some posts have ten scam responses to a oarts wanted request on Facebook.

The number one question is “where are you located?”  Well before saying they have the part or anything else.  Of course that is to determine the location of the OP so the scammer can say they are in a location that’s too far for collection

Just making folks aware in case so they can be vigilant

Ensure the person offering you the part is either A: a known entity or B: you can verify they exist and have the part they are offering.

What an amazing story. Thanks for sharing

I just got a 66 tribute

Very nice, I have had a number of them, bought one a few days ago. Nice driver 1965 with Shelby looks that I sold in 2016.

Smoke em while you got em.  Looks like fun factor times ten.

Thank you, At ten bucks a gallon for gas it may not be used too often. haha

I read again and again about these systems fixing issues. I spoke to a guy with a spectacular Mach one in PA last month. Said he just installed a Sniper system and it was great BUT!  There always seems to be a but. Something about the Tach causing issues with the system.

Hear the same type of thing again and again.

I need a shower. I had a car that sounded like that and sold it….like a fool

Years ago there was a guy in Hemmings, Alex Takasian (sp?) he would advertise all these parts from cars he was obviously taking apart to sell in bits

I bought a trunk lid and a front fender. We are talking easily 30 years ago so you can imagine how pissed I was to remember his name to this day

The items arrived in deplorable/unusuable condition. Packing couldn't be less secure. I can't imagine for the life of me how they could be so damaged. I reported it (was so obvious anyway) to the driver and a refund was give. TO ALEX

I finally found out his father worked at a law firm and called there. I got my refund.

I feel for you. I was more angry that original decades old rust free parts were destroyed by sheer laziness. I hope you get sorted

It is quite amazing how we are all being led down this garden path

The problems I have with even basic business interactions these days (read: banks) does not bode well for the future when there will be even fewer people to speak with (after an hour on hold) who can sort out the issues caused by their systems
