"Hi, I got a message from theresa09 that he has MIT CVT Terminator 1 cables for sale. Thought i'm still interested and i got one few days ago, He's local and his a good friend to me, Kindly check on him maybe it's still available....Here's his email (redacted by me)

    There are multiple scammers on the site. I had two come at me at the same time. And Polk doesn't seem to care.

    Polk does care, report them and they will be banned. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell when someone joins if they are a scammer.
