Some guy private messaged me and asked if I wanted to buy an ECU bracket. He changed his private message and even said he was a scammer.?


I got the feeling it was a scam and then he wanted me to send him money I asked him what the part looked like..? Here’s what he was trying to sell me... he has no clue...?
