Never added to this before but in the last 24 hours i have received 2 messages from the same person for 2 parts requests i have asked for in the last 3 months.

Both came from this user (sonnhalterrobert) and PM read:

Contact Matthew in Missouri, He has a ***my requested part*** for sale. Here's his email [email protected]

I imagine this is a scammer due to the identical email for both items...
 
This is what i got recently, yeah like i believe that !!!!,

As soon as we were alerted to this on the 25 Nov 2019, the offending account was banned.
