[s-cars] NAC (sorta) Scammers lurking on the AudiFans Marketplace

[Chris Ludlow]

When I was selling RS2 bits, I got the same sort of emails.  Until I told 
them that I wanted $250,000 USD in unmarked unsequential $20 bills and I 
would forward them the remainder of what I was selling the parts for.  
Funny...  I didn't hear back from "him".
