    I do not know hamby1 or anything about his motives. However, everything that you have posted screams Red Flag!! I assume you have read about various scams that have been posted here over and over? Your last sentence sorta reveals you to be WAY too trusting. Deal with other HAMBers who have been here for a while and have more than a couple hundred posts and more than a few friends.
    Although, if you put $500, ALL CASH, in a brown paper bag and leave it taped to the bottom of table number six at the Boston Public Library, I'll send you the parts...no matter what they are.

    No need to start a thread asking if they are legit, they aren,t. Just send the new users name to a mod and he will take care of it/them.

    I KNOW........

    TOTAL SCAM !

    Zero Posts and wants you to send a money gram = scam.

    You are at your own risk for all deals.

    If you send money - YOU WILL lose your money and won't get any parts.

    Believe me.

  5. I emailed Ryan, after I told the guy I would need to use paypal (which I wasn't really going to deal with him anyways)

    He emailed me back something to the extent. I understand good friend, why you would be concerned. I assure you that you will have my home address yadda yadda yadda

    Yeah I only deal with people who have been here, have some good ole' hamb street credit yo!

    I put a ad about needing a62 orig. Steering wheel , he answered my ad on H.A.M.B. saying he had 62 org in excellent condition for $180 and to contact him on email address [email protected]. I asked for pictures and location ,he said he had trouble uploading pics but thru wheel was perfect and his PayPal was dormant . he is listed on H.A.M.B. as a scammer so beware .:mad:

    scammers only use paypal to buy, since paypal protects buyers only.
