Parts vendor

[Cecil/WV]

I posted a want ad on the parts wanted section and got a response from "Part Auto" that said he had what I wanted, but when I asked for a pic, he sent me a pic of a totally different part! Scammer or has anyone else dealt with this person?
Thanks

Best way to farret out a scam is to say you'll come and get the item in person .They will make some lame excuse why you can't or not get back to you at all. Tim

What English speaker would name their business "Part Auto"?

The naming itself is a dead giveaway that it's a scam.

Those scammers from Nigeria don't know one part from another. Not a lot of old Fords over there and no regional V-8 group either!
