Eliphalet R. Moderator Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 You are at a car dealership. All the real salespeople have name tags with the dealership's logo. You are browsing the used cars on the lot when some random dude off the street wanders by and says, "Psst... hey listen, I hear you're looking for a good used Jeep CJ7. I know a guy who has just what you want. Here's his e-mail address. You can't see the Jeep in person, you can only look at his pictures, send him the money, and he'll get it shipped to you." You don't know the random dude or his buddy, no one else knows them, and there's no one to vouch for them. But, the pictures look good. So, you send him the money via some cash app that will not help you if you don't receive the CJ7... and you wait... and you wait... and you wait. You never hear from the guy or the random dude again. No CJ7. You get mad at the car dealership. This is the 3rd Party Scam. We warn people repeatedly, but some still get scammed. Don't do it. If you get contacted via PM by somebody you don't know, about an item you WTB, (Want to Buy), ask us for verification! If the person who contacted you is a real SASS member, we'll let you know. Most likely, they are not, and you are walking into a scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliphalet R. Moderator Posted June 5 Author Share Posted June 5 Some comments hidden. When two SASS members cannot come to a meeting of the minds about what is shipping damage or not, who should pay shipping fees or not, that is not a scam. SASS will not allow disparaging posts for the purposes of "leverage". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
