Important! User ‘Norvan’ seems illegitimate and has been banned.
If anybody received PMs from Norvan with offers to sell parts, do not send him money. He was just banned.

I’ll add to this. His number is 814-891-7011. He uses a burner phone. So if any of you go to call a perspective seller and you get a message saying something like “leave your name and we’ll connect you” it’s likely to be a burner phone. I was scammed by this guy once already and he’s back. He goes by the name Charles Gregory Frye. More than likely a fake name. Claims he’s out of Pennsylvania, again, probably a lie. He will not use PayPal. Only uses cash ap or Venmo. I filed a police report on him in January. Detective said most scams use those two money apps. They won’t use PayPal because the buyer is protected. Beware people….

Speaking from experience after getting scammed on this site for nearly £17.000 I maintain my advice I put out before.
I appreciate there is nothing full proof. But most people have WhatsApp on their phone. if not its totally a free download.
I just bought another pair of motors from a guy . This time we had a live Whatts App call on video, doing it this way
I could see what I was buying and who I was buying it from confirmed by his driving licence live .
Hope this helps someone who is a bit sceptical about who is on the end of the phone and whether they have the parts your sending the money for to purchase.

Local police department has warned me, saying WhatsApp, Venmo and cashapp are usually a good sign of a scam since they usually don’t offer purchase protection

I am not sure we are on the same page here. I use WhatsApp as I can make a phone call to anyone in the world
totally free of charge, (as long as they are on WhatsApp too ). Any time within that phone call you can switch to live video link
For example if I was buying something from you we could both switch to live video link you would see me I would see you,
You could show me live the exact item you were selling , confirm identities, Titles ,ect , ect
The reason behind this is I now know full well the passport ID i was sent was not the guy on the end of the email
and the above would have confirmed that.
Its a live streamed internet based communication system .
and is not that I am aware of a form of payment method for any financial transactions.

He’s back at it guys. Hunting the wanted section. Same phone number he’s going by the name Luke otaro for now, tried getting me on a prop. Refused any type of payment where I had protection. I sent him PayPal goods and services covering more than the fee so he would’ve been making a few extra bucks. he refunded it and refused payment then continue to harass me for a few more hours with phone calls and text trying to get me to send half and then when I received the prop to send him the other half…. What a POS
