So I got a PM from some guy with ZERO posts that just joined, subject: "help"...

QUOTE
I totaled my 03 Tib v6 in the snow the other month and I need to raise 3000 to pay off the rest of the loan so I can keep the car. I have many parts that I never even got to put on the car, so im selling them in hopes of keeping my ride. Please check them out on my blog and if you don't want to buy any of them maybe some of the links might has something of interest for you, so check them out it would really help.

Thanks

If you got to his blogspot, there is one entry about the Tib. It also links to another blogspot:

http://adsense-google1234.blogspot.com/

which talks about the Tibby he's building in a post dated 12 April 2006... but wait; I thought he "totaled my 03 Tib v6 in the snow the other month"?

Something's not right here.

One of the supermods needs to remove his PM ability and such.

Yeah... and he contradicts himself in the google ads thing... talks about all the money he's makin' and stuff there, and how he's building his Tib; then he says in the PM how he crashed the car "in the snow the other month". What a clumsy attempt at a scam. The least he could have done was hang around a while, build up his blogs and his cred on the forum before asking for something. I bet he's trying to sell the parts for quick money and no parts will ever come.

Strange... at least there is pics of the same Tib totalled. Could be legitimate that he wrecked it, but the whole thing still sounds fishy.

I'll bet he found the pics on the web somewhere and faked the rest. The more I think about it, the fishier it gets.

I got a PM from him on HA, like 3 days ago and just deleted it. I haven't gotten one on this site yet.
