Re: Scam Alert be careful
On the Olds site I inquired WTB a 7A head. 1 guy had a set. I asked for pics and he sent 4 pics. Seemed legit then he became very anxious and waited by the phone, ready to ship without knowing what state im in and the shipping cost. I passed. Then about a month later a different guy said he had a set. I had him send me pics and it was a head from a 4 cylinder 4 valve aluminum. I told him its not what Im looking for and a hard pass. He stated if I can get it to work he would reduce the price some.

Re: Scam Alert be careful
Man, I feel a whole lot better after reading these posts. I thought this **** only happened to me. There is a Walmart just a mile from my home. I had stopped in there a few weeks ago on a Monday to buy some items. When I walked to my truck in the parking lot there were 2 twenty something year old females acting as though they were washing my windshield. They didn’t do a very good job. They demanded 25 bucks a piece and even though I kept telling myself that this might be a scam I handed them the cash. When I returned on Wednesday and Thursday they only charged me 20 bucks a piece …..

I’ve posted WTB 2015 392 DP stuff and even all the scammers know it’s not available and don’t bother wasting their time.

Re: Scam Alert be careful
Another scam is happening when selling on FB marketplace. A "buyer" will say they are interested or want it and to give them your number so they can send you a code to verify you are real. They clone an account with your info via gmail. I never fell for it but have had the requests for them to send me a code happen.

Re: Scam Alert be careful
On a serious note, I would only buy parts on CR from names that I recognize. If I don’t recognize the name I will give them a call to see where they live. Since I only deal with stock/superstock racers, I will mention some stock/superstock racers that live in their area. Their reaction to the names dictates whether I will purchase the parts from them. It’s not entirely foolproof BUT I have never had a problem purchasing parts on CR. An old, wise racer told me many years ago, Used race car parts are generally USED UP … If a deal sounds too good to be true , it usually is ….
