WARNING TO ALL USERS -- WATCH OUT FOR UNSOLICITED PRIVATE MESSAGE!

I have a WTB post up on here looking for a rear window for my premium soft top. User Robert65 sent me a PM telling me to email him [email censored] because he has a tinted rear window for sale.

So, I emailed Matthew and got a response with a photo of soft top windows and a price of $200. When I told him I only send Paypal via Goods and Services, he sent me a link to a fake Paypal account (paypal.me) and said he only accepts Paypal as Gifts.

RED FLAG SCAM ALERT! What an idiot. Do people actually fall for this shit? A quick google of his email address yields lots of scam results. Please consider this my PSA.

I contacted the email and they insisted on moneygram.
I reported the pm as advised. Just making this public so the scammer doesnt get anyone.
