Beware of Scammers

Its funny that in the last 2 months I had put 2 adds in the classified looking for a couple of parts for the cars. I have recieved no less than 10 emails for each item all of them with a United Kingdom email address saying that they had what I was looking for. Just send money! Obvious a scam! I hope no one gets taken!

I had that happen too. They said just send money. They didn't even have a picture. I told them I could have someone pick it up for me in the UK.
Never heard from them. Do you think it was a scam. LOL
