Warning: Scammer Alert

[chevyhd]

I posted a for sale on this forum yesterday, and got a suspicious email regarding my post. I did a search and found this is a form letter that is used to scam sellers. I want to warn anyone who is selling parts here NOT to fall for this scam. These people send cashier's checks for more than the seller is asking, then ask you to western union them the difference. Needless to say the cashier's checks are bogus and bounce after you have already sent them your money. See message below:
