Please see my post in the for sale parts... member to member section. (I don't know how to copy my post from the "for sale parts......member to member" here too.)

Please read my post.

Thank you!!!!

I posted a part that I wanted to buy. I was contacted by way of a private message by "member 21212" claiming to have the radio that I wanted to buy. "Member 21212" provided his email address for "faster response." I contacted him by the email address provided. He provided the cost and assured me that everything works fine.

"Member 21212" even provided a seven (7) day return if anything on the radio didn't work properly. He asked where I live and, almost immediately, provided the price with shipping included. Payment by PayPal. I also asked for his phone number, which was provided just as quickly.

I am involved in criminal defense. I would love to have one of my clients spend a few minutes with "member 21212." I sent another email with another question. No response. I followed with another email, no response. I called the number provided and I received an out of service message.
The "Member ID Number is 21212." Name provided "Ed Carl." Email address: dogink411@gmail.com. Phone number 301-756-4474.

I reported this to our administrators and they were immediately responsive to my concern. I appreciate their concern and understanding.
Please beware!!!
Thank you!!
Please feel free to post this in any other pertinent areas on our site.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the above captioned scammer.
Please advise where you posted your experience last week .
​​​​​There should be one central location where we can post sellers/buyers comments to minimIze these experiences from occurring in the future.
Thank you!!

Our administrators should consider implementing a Buyers/Sellers Feedback Section in a common area. This may help minimize these situations from occurring in the future. My post was in the 993 section of this site. Thank you.

​​​​I don't understand why our site does not have a specific area for buyers/sellers feedback? This provides a centralized area/forum where buyers and sellers can review prior experiences, ask questions about parts or cars offered for sale/purchase, and serve to minimize scams.
I collect 1970 Oldsmobile 442's. I am also a member of their site which is similar to ours . They have a buyers/sellers feedback forum.
I, as well as other Oldsmobile members, have found our buyer/seller feedback forum has had positive results for our membership.
I welcome other members comments regarding this idea.​​​​
Thank you!!

Or if the payment was tied to a credit or debit card (through PayPal), you can dispute the charge with the CC/DC company and PayPal can't do anything if it was friends and family.

One tip is to always look at a member's join date, post count, and threads started.

Always pay using PayPal goods and service and pay for insurance on the shipping. These two things will give you protection for most circumstances.

Sorry you got scammed. I've done over a 100 transactions on Rennlist and only been scammed once. It's a great community.

Thank you for excellent information. How can you determine if a PayPal transaction is made by way of friends and family versus goods and services??

Sorry to hear about your experience. If you made that payment, you must have selected one of those options and if he sent you an invoice, you need to look at it again. Either way, won't hurt to ask your credit card co for any assistance they might be able to provide.

It's pretty alarming to hear of these scams - especially on this site. Personally, I've had nothing but good experiences both in getting paid and in getting good/proper parts and merchandise. I'd certainly support the administrators doing some sort of feedback ability...
