Everyone, please be careful when selling or paying for products in the classifieds. I'm embarrassed to say that for the first time in my life, I got taken and am now $250 poorer.

I put up a post - WTB Carbon Fibre Fuel Door. I received a text the next day saying that they had one for sale. We negotiated price and shipping and all looked good. I requested a picture of the item along with my name and date written besides the product. This was provided. I asked to send via PayPal for protection, but they said they only have E-Transfer.

I sat on it until the next day and decided to go ahead after texting back and forth. Well, 3 days later and they have ghosted me. Thankfully it wasn't a ton of money.

A couple of days later, I was looking through the classifieds and guess what? there is CF fuel door for sale. I won't go into details, but this was also a scam. Being extra cautious, I asked them to post a new picture on the listing with my name and date on it. They gave me some BS saying they were not currently able to log-in. Whatever....

All I can say is be careful.
