Sellers beware

If anyone is interested in selling anything on the sellers forum be advised that a certain individual aka "Andrew Molly" attempted to pull a "Nigerian Scam" on an item that I had listed on the forum. I had a set of ignition wires for sale for $65.00. He said he would forward an amount ($2000.00) and I was to take out my $65.00 and forward the remainder ($1935.00) to a third party. The scam was a lot more involved but this is the general idea of the scam. SELLERS BEWARE!!!

Tell the beeotch to forward you the two grand and once the check clears, he'll get his other wishes. And then sign the e-mail with something like "Federal Bureau of Investigation, Foreign Crimes Unit, Washington D.C." or something (not to impersonate a federal agent, but you get my drift).

Yep, I became aquainted with these same Nigerian neighbors last week. There were many, many red flags with this transaction.
