FB market place scam or legit

95K2500sierra · Sep 4, 2024

Automotive spare Parts in the US is the name of the online market place business. Was interested in 2 black doors for my 95 sierra. Quoted me 320 delivered to my door. By the way I'm in Canada. Sounds to good to be true. But when I asked about additional pics of the bottom of the doors were the seam is. I got nothing but push back. Wouldn't give me a business address or anything else official.

Anyone else had run in with this business?? Or success with them?

Sounds like a scam to me. Just saying. Be careful not to get taken advantage of.

I’d avoid that like the plague. When it seems too good, it likely is.

Unfamiliar with that name but there's so many scam sellers on FB marketplace it's not even funny. There's a whole group that seems to be nothing but scam sellers for "OBS" trucks. Lots of great pictures of seats, dashboards, door panels, etc. and they're all scams. Some of the sellers have websites that at the very surface level appear to be well-done with lots of pictures but once you start reading the pages you see they were auto-generated and borderline gibberish.

Incorrect vocabulary and punctuation and lack of contact or not answering all your questions are sure signs of a place you do not want to do business with.

Then you don't wanna do any business with Chinese products that have assembly instructions either :big_banana_Dance:

If you think it’s a scam act like you’re interested in the bumpers(license plates) or the windshield (Tx registration sticker) if the plates or registration match the state the person is in it helps weed out the scammers.
