--To all the guys that have WANTED adds plz read--SCAMM Alert

I just wanted to share this with the board and alert people so that you don't fall for it and get burned. If you have an ad with the title WANTED.. and w.e specific part on there and you get a PM message from anyone that says this

"Hi,

Please contact tim on tim.copelandd@gmail.com as he can service your request. He has for sale. He is located in the UK and can arrange shipping. I ordered items from him and they arrived in TOP condition"

DO NOT FALL FOR IT its a scam looks like these guys go around forums and look for people that want parts and they say we got it.

This is when i had an ad up for a SL55 Ypipe he said he has both tb and y pipe for 200gbp

Yup, got the email and exact same wording yesterday. Was sent the email address by someone registered here under the username "kingpin123".

Mods can you please disable that account?
