Beware of scammer.

BIMMERPOST / Classifieds
Asking Price:
None

Item Interest
I have been scammed by a seller on the forums by the name of "BoldenJ". Offered me m sport side skirts, which I did not buy as they were not for the F30, and found the images on another members listing from years ago. Also just paid him $150 for a Varis style lip and has since deleted his venmo account and has yet to respond to my emails. Beware, so he doesnt scam anymore near minimum wage working college students like me

These PM scams are popular across lots of forums. Usually worded like this or telling you to email their friend that has one. Almost always asking you to email them, especially if you have a want to buy thread.

Dont buy/engage with new members or those with little to no posts counts. Spend the 60 seconds to look at their account and see when they joined and if they have made any actual contributions. Normally they are brand new accounts
