Wasn’t sure where best to put this. I ran across the profile this week. Lots of interesting stuff, including a lot of non-USA engines and parts at what would be pretty great prices.

I wondered if anybody had done business with him or had any positive feedback on successful transactions.

Mods: feel free to move to a more appropriate place if there is one.

Sample offers:

12HT $2500 shipped
1HD-FT $3000 shipped
40-series top and ambulance doors $900

Also interested, but seems too good to be true…I’ll wait for someone else with direct experience to chime in.

Sounds about right…reverse image search is your friend with things like this.

It’s 100% a scam

Unless you're there in person, deals like this are always too good to be true. The allure of the steal of the century separates many people from their money with nothing in return.

I’ll admit I was lazy and didn’t do that, but I also thought it might be worthwhile to have a thread on Mud discussing it, in case anyone was searching the Interwebz for info on that account and it’s scamminess.
