This is simply a reminder for everyone. Another forum I'm on is for John Deere tractors. Here is as long story a member on that site shared. I'm passing it on, although, in hind sight it was obviously as scam, as the OP pointed out, in the heat of trying to get a part you've been looking for, we can all get careless.
Be aware of online scams because sometimes you get to be an example to others of what not to do.
This is one of those times. This might be a bit long. Go get some popcorn....
