I posted a WTB ad looking for a AGP turbo kit. I received a PM from dotman77 stating that he knew someone selling the kit and provided their email. I emailed the person who quickly stated I had to tell him how much I was going to pay and that he is only interested in shipping and he is very very busy and meeting would stress him out. He also would only take payment send from my bank to his bank, no paypal. My only thought is so I cant file a dispute and there is no recourse to get my funds back. I got a funny feeling about it and decided to search dotman77's post. I noticed that he is a newer member with only 25 comments made. All of which are "I know someone selling what you are looking for...their email is blah blah blah" I cant prove whats going on is shady but it sure feels this way!

If it feels shady then it probably is. Sounds very odd to me. He apparently is in no hurry to sell with requirements like that. I'd stay away from that deal, just my .02.

Don't need proof it's shady. It just is.
