He advertised a part for JB tail light 75. I was going to buy one, but had trou bee sending $ via PayPal. His email address did not work, he sup;lied another and that did not work. So I canceled the order.

Turns out he was not the correct seller of the part. So it was a scam.

He also claimed that he was a good friend of Kim Dobbins. He included Kim's email address, which most people here on the forum know.
The email address that was posted wasn't even close to the actual address.
According to Admin Jeff, Mr. Soul's account has been deleted and his posts are deleted. Thank you, Jeff!
Knowledge that isn't shared, is wasted knowledge.

We all must examine offers and statements closely. I failed to check on his offer. I have learned a lesson. What is best, I did not lose any $$$.
