After being contacted by Winston, I reported him since this williambenson is well known for taking people’s money after a quick google search for that name.

William Benson said he had the V1 steering wheel I was looking for.

Would only accept Venmo lol. Decided to play around with him for a bit. Told him to send me pics of the wheel, a quick search showed the pic he sent me was from a forum member's ad like 7 years ago lol.

Then I told him to write his email on a piece of paper and take a pic next to the wheel before I Venmo him the full amount.

Gotta give him an A for effort. LMAO.

Only way to get him banned would be to coax him to say some negative stuff about the new Gx M3s... Otherwise based on the number of known scammers and alerts to mods, no one is paying attention to this forum group anymore...
