    scammer ?

    I have loaded a wtb in the ad section and had this reply :

    Hello John,


    I have a lwb 911s behr fender oil cooler for sale in excellent
    condition and shape. I have tried uploading some pics of the unit but
    keeps failing to upload but condition is excellent condition. I am
    asking a 120GBP for the cooler as I'll be shipping via UPS on a 5 days
    delivery and will accept payment via Western Union or Money Gram.
    What's your complete shipping address and phone #?

    Many thanks,
    Robert

    Those methods of payment are notoriously used by scammers.

    It screams scam....

    I'd caution doing any business with any new 'forum' member. Check if they are Paying members and check there post history. I recently had a problem with a guy who only had 4 posts on pelican. As soon as I received my 1st PM from him it just felt wrong... Go with your gut.
