I could be wrong on this, but my gut is telling me this is off.  Will update with any developments.

I have a post looking for a windshield door for a Sport Nautique, and got a PM from member 2Shortz saying that another member, mmasariu, had a door, and to email them and gave me "their" email.

I think that the email 2Shortz gave me is actually theirs, and they're planning on scamming me out of $200.  I sent the initial email, and then heard nothing for a few days, and then got multiple emails in a flurry that were pushy, wanting me to send paypal to a different email (which points to a facebook page for a barber in Texas, when the user mmasariu lives in Indiana) right away because he'll ship tomorrow, without sending pictures... seeing some red flags here.   

Anyway, lots of emails, and again it just didn't feel right to me, so I reached out to mmasariu on facebook to confirm - we'll see what he says and I can update from there. If it is legit I am deeply sorry and obviously will delete this post.

Sounds fishy. Feel like anyone selling a windshield would be willing to text back-and-forth a bit as well as definitely provide pictures. I would proceed with a lot of caution as I think you are already

I had the same thing from what seems like the same person, but they were in Tenn.  They had the seat I posted as wanted, $200 delivered.  I was not giving any online info and told them I'd send a check...and told them to wait until it cleared before sending the seat.  They refused to work on that basis at all and wanted money electronically transferred.  I told them thanks but no thanks...

SCAM

I've seen others get burned from these on other forums. DON'T DO IT.

Can we ban 2 shortz? He's at it again. Same mmasariu user name referred to. Pulls pics off of eBay pretending that someone else's parts are his.
