I received a private message from a guy not sure if he’s a reputable member if he is i apologize. He’s looking to sell me a droop snoot and a bowl for 560 $ but a couple things struck me wrong I can’t understand him on the phone the area code doesn't match the parts pictures are off the internet not taken with a cell phone. And he doesn’t know what part of Califonia he is in for local pick up If anyone knows this guy and can vouche for him let me know he sent me his zelle link and is blowing up my phone SEE PICS BELOW . If anyone has any of these parts please let me know I want them but can’t afford to get burned . Thanks guys

Usually offering parts using photos of new parts from internet vendors.

Most guys would just PM or talk on a thread here on the site.

Strike 1

“No Fear”
“Trust me”
Strike 2 and 3 you’re out!
