POSSIBLE SCAM ALERT 1970 VALIANT Badge

Sounds like one I got awhile back. Looking for a couple of fenders. Seller said to send money to a different person. The fenders were out of state. I kept asking for a town, but couldn't get a good answer. I told the seller, I would send a friend to look at them, and if good, he would pay cash, and pick up the fenders for me. "Crickets"
PS: Didn't really have anyone to go there.
