Why is it.ok for the mods to ask you to send nudes with your ranger for admission to the group or was that just me?

Dear Ranger5G members -

We are having all users read this to make everyone aware of a common scam taking place on Ranger5G and other forums. This involves a new user (typically one who has joined recently without an extensive post history -- but this may not always be the case), sending unsolicited private messages to other users, telling you to email someone for a part that you're interested in purchasing.

The scammer will then show you fake (but credible) photos of the product and have you send money for it. Of course, the part is never delivered and the Paypal account is closed down to avoid chargebacks.

If you receive ANY unsolicited private messages asking you to contact someone regarding the purchase of parts, REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY (using the Report function at the bottom of the message). This will help us weed out these scammers so they don't harm anyone else on the forum.

Thank you for your help.

some people just suck

With all of these popups and unwanted ads that clutter up the internet, I dont respond to anything, or even look at ads. The best idea is dont buy anything on the internet.

Scammers will do anything to get your money.

Last week I got a call from some imbecile posing as a representative from the local gas utility, they even spoof their telephone number so that the utilities name appears on caller ID.

The thickly accented idiot stated that gas service to my home will be shut off if I don't pay via some questionable method.

I told the dumbass to go ahead and shut it off and good luck finding my account, I've never had gas service to my home...ever...

The punishment I can dream up for these miscreants would make Dr.Hannibal Lechter look like a alter boy...

Hello,
Been using the GFB but want to convert back to stock for a brief trial period. Does anyone have the original part I can buy since I cracked mine during the removal process.
