Friday night I received an email from a Marvin Ribbich from Eagle Wi in relation to the shock absorber I require for my truck. While I have advertised in places other than on Chatter my email address hasnt been included but Marvin has found it. If he is a genuine seller I will go ahead with the deal.

I've read the name before. He's a registered user here on Chatter. He's also a user over on stovebolt.com. His profiles are below. I googled his name and he participates on many forums. As long as you use a protected payment option like paypal you should be able to get your money back if it goes bad. As for getting your email all a user needs to do is click on your name then "view profile" to see your email. https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/users/6399/mribbich.htmlhttps://vccachat.org/ubbthreads.php/users/6799/ribbich.html

Just to be sure, may be you could ask that the seller send you photos from several angles; front, back and sides etc. I would think it would create an obstacle most scammers could not defeat without actually having the item?

Some of the Facebook groups I follow are having lots of problems with scammers.
The request for additional photos is a good tactic. Asking for a photo that includes a front page from a recent newspaper or magazine or their hand holding or pointing to the part really stops the scammer.

Considering he has been seen on Chat I will go ahead, Chat is the only place I have posted that I know of that links user with an outside email. My guess is the shipping will cost me more than the shock absorber but this is the only lead I have found.

As a follow up the unit he had was different and he the referred me to Apple Hydraulics but considering shipping both directions my pocket isnt that deep.
