I joined the group with 19k members. Posted looking for B body 833 2.66 ratio. An admin asked for me to message him. He said he had one for $130 and shipping $100 from Colorado. What a deal.
Facebook Mopar cars and parts only swap meet private group legit?

@Dana67Dart was banned from that site for exposing a scam. The scammer was a administrator so I would say unless you can pick it up, don’t do it.
Yeah, that seems like too good of a deal. But what do i know? Do you know anyone in CO that can go pick it up?
If it's on Farcebook...

It seems like the only people selling are admins. A few just became admins.

Definitely scams. But wow 19K members?

Scammers are somehow adding themselves to groups on Facebook and removing the original admins. So I wouldn't trust it.
I'm in CO. I would be happy to go pick it up!
The "Admin" I was dealing with was Mike Richard Bradway. I have the complete chat saved.
Right after I exposed him and his ad for parts from a red 67 dart convertible I got bumped from the group.
I made a post about it here on fabo
This is the car he said has been in his garage since 89

Is the 833 2.6 a ball n trunion?
One off my favorite tunes is "in the name of tragedy". Sorry, off topic.
Back on topic though, having a willing guy incognito could have many benefits. I think these walls have ears though and the cats outta the bag.

It was definitely a scam. This guy was selling anything you asked for according to his photos. He was only asking $100 to ship 140lb 4 speed from Colorado to VA.
We have them try it here also
administrator here helped me a few months back guy trying to offer a good deal on a
950 3 barrel he basically cropped an image from internet and used it for item
He was selling , I did a quick check on goggle search and caught it then sent him the video on utube
of a Hippo farting in water and said nice try ( Rag Head )
this site with proven members is the best choice after a swap meet etc.

Only time I personally deal on Facebook is if I can pick parts up in person. I've had nothing but good transactions on fabo. But they do get on here and make fake profiles sometimes. I was kicked off a 1st gen dakota Facebook group because I called a scammer out and one of the admins wanted to argue about it. I usually check Facebook profiles before I deal with anyone. The ones who are using cloned or hacked accounts normally have likes on their posts or pictures from people living in 3rd world countries.
I was removed from the group on FB within 12 hours of joining it. Apparently the moderators didn’t like the questions that I was asking? But there’s still almost 20k members that couldn’t see through their games.
