A quick google search will show whether or not the business actually exists. They will send pictures that they pulled off the internet to prove they have the part in hand.

If you have a “want to buy” thread here and someone sends you a private message please report it if you suspect it’s a scam. That way staff/admin can review and research to see if the person is legitimate or not and take appropriate action.
These scammers are also all over Instagram. Basically, any place that allows parts to be sold, these scammers have started popping up recently
