Lack of Trust

In the last 2 weeks I have ask about lifters and roller rocker arms for sale by members. Some have replied with options but none that would work for me. But there was one that kinda bothers me. I received a PM from a member that just joined here in MAY and he said he had a set of roller rockers. He also said I should reply back using his email account. When I inquired about brand, what they were on and how much time they had been used i didnt hear back at first. But the next day I got an email with a price and that they were 1.5 arms. No additional information other then send the asking price thru money gram because his paypal account has gone dormant. I didnt trust this so I didnt respond. Im not sure if I was going to be scammed or if it was ligit.
How would you have dealt with this.

Requesting payment through a money gram or Western Union is a big red flag. This is a common approach used by scammers. Thank you for putting out the warning, you may have saved much grief for other members here.

Thanks again,
