Just received a pm from a member here, screenshot below, for an akra exhaust they have for sale. Reached out to them and they sent me an email with photos of the exhaust copied from a post originally from here. Be careful guys when buying stuff online! Definitely a spam. Judge for yourself!

This happens periodically. They go after people who have posted WTB threads.
