To All Bronco6G Members,

PLEASE BE AWARE of a common scam taking place on Bronco6G and other forums. This involves a new user (typically one who has joined recently with no posts or little post history), sending unsolicited private messages to other users, telling you to email someone for a part that you're interested in purchasing.

The scammer will then show you fake (but credible) photos of the product and have you send money for it. Of course, the part is never delivered and the Paypal account is closed down to avoid chargebacks.

If you receive ANY unsolicited private messages asking you to contact someone regarding the purchase of parts, REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY (using the Report function at the bottom of the message). This will help us weed out these scammers so they don't harm anyone else on the forum.

Thank you for your help and always use your best judgment when purchasing parts from any individual!

Must be the same goons who say mean things on my Youtube videos and PM me here for concert tickets and/or to confirm my authenticity.


In all seriousness: Please, please, please be careful with your hard earned dollars and online purchases! If you need a forum member to be vouched for, it takes more than a "will somebody vouch for X" thread!!!! Where possible, deal in person and make a tangible connection before transferring funds!

My company just sent me an e-mail yesterday saying there was video evidence of a problem and to click the link to see the video. Just before I went to click the link I said to myself you better think twice before you click. Good thing I did cause it was a phish, I reported it and got the congrats from the company for not falling for it.

I thought the same, when I got it in other threads as well and thought ....... my god what did I do to get banned now ????? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Whew, coast is clear. :cautious:
