3rd party responses from the "Wanted" forums.
I've noticed that about 90% of the responses I get PM'ed are to contact these 3rd party email addresses. The messages seem to be a stock message generally designed for most 'parts wanted' ads.

Looking to rip you off, unfortunately a sign of the times.
Deal with established PY members of good standing only which should be a given. However from time to time people who normally lurk here on the forums will decide to join if they have something you want. Always always use a form of payment where you are protected if something should go wrong on the deal. |

If it's a message from a new board member telling you to contact their 'friend' at some gmail email address, please report them to the moderators. We keep track of new members and ban the ones who are scammers when we find them, but it's difficult to keep ahead of them.

I've had a few of those, It's a no-brainer that it is a scammer when I see that. It's the first day that the member has joined and he is hitting me up on a part I'm looking for and saying contact an external email.... hahaha yea whatever
