I hate to be that guy... but if you sent a guy 1,000 CAD (equivalent of $750 USD) and these headlights normally go for ~$4000 USD, AND he isn't sending you any pictures AND won't go through Paypal G&S, its pretty clearly too good to be true. I'm sorry you got scammed, but sometimes there's some more due diligence that must be done.

such an old post to revive! Additionally, the pics on the IG look to be from straightsixautoparts on eBay and IG... straightsixautoparts is legit and i've purchased great used parts from.

It's a good post - a reminder to be careful out there. The desire a lot of us have to make our cars better is strong. Sometimes that blinds you... These types of companies are all over IG. Really frustrating.

Hey @DeTh, thanks for sharing your insights!

You're absolutely right; it's essential to exercise caution, especially when making significant transactions online. Your advice about due diligence is spot on. When a deal seems too good to be true and the seller avoids standard payment methods like PayPal Goods and Services, it's a red flag.
On a different note, if you're interested in enhancing your social media presence, you might try to get super cheap instagram followers. Building a strong online following can be a valuable asset.
Thanks for sharing your insights, and here's to safer online dealings and successful endeavors, both on and off social media!

💯 believe in “too good to be true then probably isn’t”

Also my mantra for street parking. “There is no way his spot is open how will I get ticketed or towed”
