Default Very Sketchy: mbox GIACX w/ ECU in classfieds for $300

$300 sounded too good to be true so I told him I would take it if I could pick it up. He said Paypal only and he didn't feel comfortable giving out his personal info and would not do COD either. He said he needed the money right then so he could get some spark plugs for his car and "get it running again".

Here's his ebay profile. Apparantly, he's been accused of selling stolen goods over there too.

I apologize if I am wrong on this and he turns out to be legit but with all the criminal activity that's been happening lately, I guess I'm more on the cautious side.<ul><li><a href="http://classifieds.audiworld.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/classifieds.cgi?db=autoparts&amp;website=&amp;lang uage=&amp;session_key=&amp;search_and_display_db_b utton=on&amp;results_format=long&amp;db_id=18967&a mp;query=retrieval">$300 GIACX

Default I didn't buy it. He said he had someone else who could paypal right then.

and that I missed the "deal of a lifetime". Fine by me.

Default probably not a scam, probably off one of those stolen S4's...good luck man

is there anyway you can have it hooked up to anything to see if it belonged to one of those cars? i don't know if that's possible.
