Hi,
Thanks for the email, I just attached the picture of the 997 Sirius/XM satellite radio retrofit kit and it's in a good condition. Asking price is $450 with shipping. Payment will be via Money gram. What's your full postal address?
Thanks

Sounded very fishy to me, given that he requested Moneygram (who the hell even uses that) and that I can source all of the parts separately for about $300. Who even asks for a "full postal address"?
I did a quick reverse Google image search on his attachment. Lo' and behold, he took the image from a 6speedonline FS post - http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/a...rofit-kit.html
So just a warning to everyone out there. BE CAREFUL!!

Good catch, guys -- thanks for the alert. There's a lot of awful grammar and vocabulary on the web (I can't believe how many high-end P-car owners can't piece a simple sentence together), but when something doesn't seem right, it's usually not. Or so I've found.
