POSSIBLE SCAM ALERT...

Just wanted to put this out there.

I posted a WTB for a Kouki LSD.

I received and e-mail from a Philip Snyder (snydll67@gmail.com).

He said he had a Kouki LSD and could only use Moneygram.

When I asked him if he could take pics of the LSD and what year car he pulled it from, he sent a picture and told me it was from a 2004 toyota.

Unless I'm mistaken, I don't recall any 2004 model vehicle that has an LSD that fits a AE86.

I could be wrong, but I just wanted to let people know.

I figured it was a scam from the start.

He was using words not commonly used by "Americans" then claimed 2 day shipping, and the Moneygram thing pretty much set off my alarm.
