So, there's a guy with this high steer kit listed on instagram.

I want him to be legitimate, but I have serious doubts. Exact same pictures.

Could the buyer or seller @Tank5 respond?

Thanks.

That is not me , I don’t even have an IG account. My kit sold to Valley Hybrids for a customer. Likely a scam. Proceed with extreme caution.

Some of the pictures I used came from Trail Tailor, it is possible the seller on IG is doing the same.

Thanks. Thats what i was hoping to find out.

I didn't even see it listed on trail tailors site anymore. For what that's worth. Thankfully, your for sale post came up in my internet search.

The account has several thousand followers and lots of posts. but very few comments.

His post said asking $500 shipped. I expressed interest and asked his bottom dollar. He immediately went to $300 shipped.

I hesitated and he wanted to speak on the phone. I never made that move.

At least you had the sense to come here. I would venture a guess that 99% of parts sale accounts on IG are a scam.

Yeah at $300, that deal seems to good to be true.

I can personally vouch for Jonas at Barnyard Cruisers. He's on IG. But that wasn't the guy selling the high steer.

Heck 500 was almost too good. And he dropped 200 without me even asking.

I asked for current pictures and he said he's busy traveling. But then sent me pics of pet carriers getting loaded on an airplane.

more information that might help someone else in the future...

Ha Ha he, must have gotten his scams mixed up. He also sells French bulldogs on the side I bet.

These scammers copy and past legit ads, stealing the text and photos. Undercut prices to lure you in, and run away with your hard earned cash. If it sounds too good to be true, and the seller isn't standing right there in front of you with the deal of the century, it's likely a scam.

 

[AcroSteve]

I just hate to report someone legit.

I've probably seen enough. Not really a snitch, but this is different.

That's not me, but that is an ad for stuff I have that I posted here on mud. Seems they just copy and pasted my ad to Instagram or something? What the heck?

LOTS of sale ads here are having their photos poached and getting "listed" for sale for smoking deal prices on Instagram. All scams. Caveat Emptor.
