Default WKINGS SCAM VIA EMAIL FOR TIRES


Here this guy tried to steer me off site via email to some person that in next email pics coming doesn’t even have an rctech account. Go figure right.



Here’s the scam email with an address to a 400 unit apartment building in MA with no unit number lol. and who ships via UPS anyways ? Domestically the most expensive option there is. You gotta be retarded


More reason to see the bs


like someone else posted scams are alive and well. Beware people

Trace the photo, and he is asking for a gift payment - RED FLAG!

Tell him you will pay as a purchase not F&F! See how upset he gets, or what BS Story he feeds you...

and is Wkings a member here???

Not exactly. They troll the WTB section and then send a PM claiming to know a person that's selling what they're looking for, with a contact email. They figure if a person is gullible enough to contact that email they're probably stupid enough to send a gift payment.
