I hate scammers/thieves, they take advantage of the naïve and the desperate.
 
From a few months back. I contacted the real B & R Wrecking and confirmed they have a yard in Graham WA but not that one. Also they had no 1964 Didge Dart in the company inventory. Also they will take credit cards and e-checks, PayPal but no Apple Pay. I was leary when the ad responded back and stated $200 total for 2 rally wheels, rings and inserts which also included free shipping. Free shipping from WA to Ohio plus two "perfect condition" rally wheels...I don't think so. B & R Wrecking still has their usual FB page but BR Wrecking is gone.

FB scammers are usually so stupid it’s easy to spot them if you’re paying attention.
If I see anything suspicious, I’ll report the seller AND the ad. It’s common that scammers will hack a legit FB user and try to scam potential buyers using someone else’s account.

Buyers are also scammers. Sold a low mileage 360 to a guy in St. Pete, Florida. He came to my home in Lake Placid, Fl. and liked what he seen, but was $100.00 short., due to the cost of the trip. I told him to take the motor, since he was here and send me the $100.00. Well, it's been three years. Because of him, I will not give anyone any slack any longer. Don't blame me, blame the scammer. Scam me once, shame on you, scam me twice, shame on me. I had my once. There are a lot of good people to deal with, as I bought several online items from private parties and never was burn, until this one.
 
I remember reading on here a long time ago a thread about a pos engine and a crate of rocks. If I remember correctly buyer bought a supposedly good engine that turned out to be junk. Only got a partial refund but sent "engine" back to seller. Turns out he sent back a crate of rocks lmao. Funny as f**k, can't find the thread dammit....

971 area code is Portland Oregon - that's an immediate red flag for me!
I admin several Mopar groups & I'm usually pretty good at sniffing out the scammers.
More often than not, they're Cameroon based & steal legitimate profile photos for a fake account. The Carlisle bait was pretty creative!
Sucks that you got swindled :(

If you can read the coparts number on the windshield post that number. That's how I found the red dart convert was a scam for sure

I was looking at parts from a wrecked red 67 dart convertible

The guy had 3 names and the first and middle were a couple letters off of an actor and the middle and the last also another actor.

I made a post about it here on FABO a few weeks ago

I used your post here to call him out on the roadrunner chat and modification sites. He disappeared like a bums last dollar.

I think the new scammer deal is to create groups and the scammers themselves are the admins.
 
I got scammed from an ad in Hemmings Motor News years ago. This was the days before internet. He "got" me because he sounded completely legit on the phone because when I asked him about some of the other parts he had listed, he actually told me that he had sold them. So, to me, at the time, I was thinking, well, if it was a scam, he would have "sold" me those also. Called Hemmings after he actually sent a box filled with paper (No idea why he actually sent anything), and they gave me a detective from the sellers area. He got me for something like $1300. Overall, the detective knew about 30,000 plus that he had taken in from that one ad. Long story short, I received a token sum of something like $50 from the courts, and since he showed "good faith" in an attempt to refund, that was all I ever got. Lesson learned.

That got me too. I asked about a dash pad in the pic's background and he told me that it had a crack and that I wouldn't want it.......I sent him the $200 for the bumper and never heard from him again!

You are so correct,, we MOPAR guys are always looking for bargains, and good deals..but I dispise scammers… I dealt with one from Indianapolis , with a near new set of cheater slicks for $500.00 .. I happened to have a friend over there in Louisville for a visit so he could bring them back and couldn’t get a meet site or pickup site… all she wanted was the money, money, money.. Cindy Price was there name … it was a fantastic deal, but just didn’t smell right.. I had to walk away.. my money is too hard to come by..
