hahah he tried to scam me as well. Using very low-tech techniques. Here is his banking info which I played along with and anti-scam him from. Too bad I could not get his legal name.

Don't ever do bank transfer nor PayPal friend and family unless they are someone you really trust!

DriftMachine, tried to scam me too. I played along with it just to see some of his techniques. I was never going to send him a dime. Way too many red flags.
First of all, he said he had exactly what I wanted (silver 19" FI-Rs, but didn't even have an ad set up for them).
Next, he wouldn't text me pics, he made up some lame excuse that his pics were all on his emails. I said can't you just walk out to your car and take a picture (with todays date on a sticky) and sent it to me.
Next, his user account was brand new with like 3 posts and 1 reputation point. I actually think he set another user account so that he could like his own posts to build up his reputation. I say that because the like that he liked didn't make any sense. You can check it out.
Next, I actually called him a scammer in writing in a post and he didn't even respond. If someone on here called me a scammer in writing in a post, I would defend my reputation vigorously with references from everyone I have dealt with, etc.

He finally did send me pics of knockoff BBS LM reps. He said his name was Gabe and he lives in Atlanta his phone number is 470-427-6497
