I have just received a PM from a guy who had 0 posts. Before thinking, I went to the members list to find him, so I could click on his profile. (I could have just done that from the PM, but I'm a dumb ass). Anyway, he was not to be found in the members list. Is this possibly just a new member, and the members list has not updated yet to show him..........or is this something i should be careful with?

I dont think any of them show up with 0 posts, I remember trying to search for two of my friends that registered because they wanted to buy a supra, and neither of them will show up in the members list.

When my roommate tried to make a profile here one of the mods put it on lock because it looked suspicious (Yellow 13 and a half). He PM'd me later and told me about it.

This guys name is Bkou(anybody know him?). He is just asking to buy a part, and if I take paypal. I think paypal is one of the safest parts of the internet, but I am cautious anyway. When I saw 0 posts I looked a little deeper. My thoughts are that if he could hack into SM to send a PM, he could also put himself on the member list. I have no other reason to doubt this guy than the 0 post thing. I need to make some money this week, so I would like to proceed, but just trying to be careful, and not let the need for money cloud my better judgement.
