If you are dealing with a stranger - get his name and google it - if he is a scammer there will be evidence of it somewhere, if you look hard enough....... if you feel the person is not being truthful (fake name... etc.) move on.
Be wary of any deal that appears too good to be true - thats a red flag for a scammer..... Con men play on the human weakness of one's propensity to "suspend/ignore their common sense" for the benefit of a "great deal". Its actually based on victim greed.

I would be very careful with Racing Junk - its the type of internet site that lacks administrative supervision and provides the kind of annonominity that lends itself to con artists' exploitation - that's not to say that everyone on there is a scammer....

The racing community is big enough.... that if someone is legit... you would have to at least know someone, who knows someone, who knows the person you are considering doing business with and can verify their legitimacy...... For example,
I recently made a deal selling my truck & camper to a racer in canada (through Classracer)..... neither of us knew eachother personally, but with a few phone calls we were both able to confirm that we were each dealing with straight shooters..... which led to a deal that was comfortable, stress free, and mutually beneficial to both of us.
