If you get a PM in response to an Ad you posted that is asking you to contact a 3rd party because the sender "knows someone" who has/wants the part, IT'S A SCAM !

Wanted to let @SirAndy know that this guy is still operating here - I just got one like this from wilsonn today:

QUOTE

He mentioned he had a 75-76 fuel pump blister cover for sale. Hit him up Michaelmckemie51@gmail.com he might still have what you looking for.
Cheers Mate and stay safe

A quick google search for this email address shows that this guy (wilsonn) runs this scam all over the Internet using the emails prestensteven@gmail.com and Michaelmckemie51@gmail.com

Here's his profile:
