Title: SCAM WARNING
Post by: Stefan Bartelski (CLC Webmaster) on February 14, 2023, 10:40:38 AM
As hard as we try, scammers are still infiltrating our forums, especially this one, and scamming members. Please be very careful about sending parts to someone that you do not know, without having received money in advance. If they do not want to send money in advance, suggest using an escrow company, which can be found by searching the Internet. Even then, these scammers do have ways to retract payments or send fraudulent payments. In general, you are best off only transacting with CLC members or people that you know.  Don't forget that you can report a questionable post to the Moderators under the 'More' button below.

Be aware that membership of these forums is NOT restricted to CLC members, however, you can view their profile to see if they have a CLC number. If you are still suspicious, you can look the name up on the main CLC site (Member Search) or call the office to ask them to confirm the member.

Suggest that the buyer pays you via PayPal, using the Goods and Services method. This does incur a 2.3% fee but gives the buyer an insurance because their payment can be refunded if the items are not delivered or are different than described.

Suggest that you can list the parts on a protection friendly site, e.g. Ebay at the agreed price and Buy Now. You can then email them as soon as the Ebay listing is ready so they can buy immediately.
