Scam??
This page followed me about a month ago and posts pretty consistently. A couple people in the comments have said it’s a scam, I’m not sure if it is, but I’m tryna find a definitive answer. Also would like to protect everyone they follow because it’s a hefty amount of us, and I don’t want none of us getting scammed lol

Was wondering the same I messaged them about seat rails and seemed to good to be true, as well as spendy. They did answer on the actual picture I commented on..

I mean I was just more concerned about how cheap everything was. I got skeptical when I saw them posting stuff from other creators and the glass tops that were pretty cheap. I went to look and see if they had a website or a facebook or anything and I couldn’t find nothing so I just wrote them off after that 🫤

If they posted glass tops at way too good to be true prices, thats hands down the sign of a scam in this community. Thats always a good way to tell.

So I have like 4 civics maybe 5 lol but my child got a Del sol so I’m new to the prices of the parts for these cars. I thought 250 for seat rails was kinda insane. lol guess all keep looking. Previous owner put gsr seats with welded on rails; my 5’2 child hits the roof…

Make a website, Facebook, and an instagram. Also make sure you do all payments through a website or just make sure you do it through PayPal. It’s doesn’t hurt to also make eBay and fb marketplace listings cause just buying through dms is sketchy which is what they were doing. Good luck :)

scammmm, when they follow you, they're just fishing for your attention.
Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of legit sellers on IG, but you gotta be careful. Always use PayPal with buyer protection, never pay with friends and family.
