Scammers

Happening more and more. I'll post in a FS thread and the next day I get an unsolicited PM from someone ,with just enough posts or reputation points to please the sites requirements for sending PMs, telling me they have the same product for sale and that I should text them at the provided number.

I check their posts, usually around 30 of them, and they're all Good. Kool. Loooks nice., BS one or two word posts. Again, just to get around the sites requirements.

Speaking of unsolicited PM's, I had better not send one your way! I have a '22 G30 on order and hope to see it in June. Curious what you think of yours and if you have done anything to personalize it? PM to me is fine. Thank you.

Tried something similar with me. Bought an item from a legit seller and suddenly an unsolicited message shows up asking my location and telling me to text them. Same 816 number you have listed. Told him I don't text random numbers and he just kept trying to get me to text him. Annoying.

My two cents USD is to shut down the FS section completely. There are plenty of other places to sell/trade parts online, and all that FS sections of forums do this day is attract Nigerian scammers who have been booted from Craigslist and puppyfinder.com.

I'm on another (non-BMW) automotive marque forum, and their policy is that new members can't even read the FS forums until they have at least 100 posts, have been a member for at least 90 days, and their participation quality has been reviewed by a site moderator or admin. Hiding the section completely using the first two settings should be enough to discourage the hit-and-run scammers without adding any additional burdens on the volunteer staff of under-appreciated admins and moderators.

Along these same lines, setting a restriction on some of the Universal Forums (OT in particular) will eliminate SEO/spambot posts there, because Google would be blocked from searching those pages and they would be useless for SEO.....

These are the same assholes whining that they cannot PM soon enough, bitching about the post requirements to PM.

Add Owo-Nikoko to the list of scammers. Did the usual DM me after I asked another legit forum member if they had a part for sale.

It's like they never learn. They just get a new screen name and do the same scheme over and over.

I’m not a violent person or really an angry person at all. But, damn if these guys don’t bring out the demon in me. Something about a lazy, sorry Piece of Shit trying to swindle money I’ve busted my ass to earn quickly makes me dismiss the preciousness of human life in these folks. Love to give ‘em all a great big “hug!”

I'd better not send you any unsolicited PMs while we're on the subject! I've ordered a '22 G30 and anticipate receiving it in June. I'm curious what you think of yours and whether you've added anything to make it your own. To me, a PM is fine. I'm grateful.

As part of my job responsibilities, I hunt screwy Nigerian princes for a pay check. I see hundreds of gift card, sextortion, and direct deposit bank change scam emails caught in the work email filters every day, and unfortunately it isn't getting any better.....
