This can't be real

 

[Teddy_West]

Don't we know this seller?
He's a reseller right? Finding stuff and posting it without actually having inventory?
Or is that someone else?

Anyone know the FB seller? Photos are borrowed from this forum post back in 2016-2018. Back then, the engine had either 33kmi or 63kmi depending which post you read. Now it's down to 15kmi, lol.

Same seller claims to have some other exotic stuff awfully cheap. Reeks of "scam" to me. Many of the photos in that account are copied from this forum and other MB-related socials.

Would be interesting for someone with a FB account to contact the seller and see what story is spun.

100k "followers" seems like a lot for a scam account. Also has this website:

Home - Genuine Mercedes-Benz Parts

Rated 0 out of 5(0)

… for which the address in CO is a storage facility.

Same account links to "oldbenzamgparts" on IG, phone 1 (720) 580-3414.

Wow, yea seems sketchy.

He was just called out, I suspect the post will be deleted and my account banned from posting on his FB page.

He shows a lot of AMG parts in that supposedly Colorado warehouse.

Pictures and words on the internet are cheap and easy way to attract attention. If he is really legit somebody close by should check out his address in CO to physically see his inventory.

Yup - your comment was deleted, Rik.

These is one of those fake scam Instagram profiles where you send the money and never receive products I have been told by people which have communicated with such.
There are several fake profiles like this.

Really annoying that there's no way to get the scammers removed from Fakebook. Any posts that mention a scam, are deleted by the scammer.

Man, the moderation enforcement there sounds more onerous than what @The Emperor wields around here. Interesting.

That guy followed me for a while on Instagram. I don't think he's legit.

This guy however is: Login • Instagram
Been messaging back and forth since 2020. Not a promotion, just letting you know this is where I could see myself spend some money.
