Ouch. That is painful. I'm sorry to hear that you got scammed. A moderator will have to confirm, but if this user is no longer on Insight Central, they were most likely banned/deleted.

Fracking ballzy scammer, once he hooked you he kept pulling! Never buy from a member with a low post count or who joined yesterday. Never respond to a message about selling you the part from someone with zero cred here.

Getting contacted by a scammer after you post "X part wanted" happens on ALL forums, boating, off road... the common theme is the "seller of X" has no forum history, or "cred".

Sorry that happened, thanks for posting about it.

I report probably three possible new scammer accounts a week on here.

The exchange of messages you posted don’t appear to be from here on InsightCentral. Your user handle is all we would normally be able to see. I know you are active on the Facebook group. Being that your real name is in the exchange of messages, was it something on the other site?

Find a fender at a local wrecker, it will likely be silver and $30
My red car has a silver fender because no one within 500 miles had a red one for less than the price of my car.

Never ship car parts unless the vendor has a very long and decent history you can verify

I’ve had to learn the hard way years ago, good luck

@Super_Charged4life Thank you very much for going to the trouble of posting your conversation with the scammer. It really helps to know how they operate.

There's a FB group?

Oh, I see. So, you got a PM from a new user on insightcentral.net, saying that they knew somebody who had a red fender for sale and they gave you that person's email address? If so, that has been the go-to scam model on here for the last year or two.

My purported seller disappeared when I told him I wanted to meet locally (since he claimed to have the part nearby) and pay cash.

I found a local wrecker with a rear end wreck that had a good silver fender, I had the choice of removing myself or them removing.

was cheap and I got to see the product.

Red for whatever reason are hard to find around here.

I imagine most are broken from running up in parking curb and being pulled as you back off it.
