Negative - scammer - gusto (jdorour)
Almost got scammed from a reply to a Parts Wanted Post sent via PM from GUSTO. I contacted the referred user (jdorour) directly via email and after the email exchange which included photos and pricing, I was just about to send the money via PayPal but did not after something did not feel right. Others on this site confirmed my suspicions and the moderator has thankfully since removed the user.
Moral, check the usernames’ creation date, recent posts and avoid direct outside email contact.
The PM is below:
“

There have been a few recent threads concerning this scam and member/s. Gusto has been banned and while jdorour has not logged into this site since 2017, he has been banned as a precaution because of the reference.
