Who is it (email address) that we should avoid? Where did you find him?
Unfortunately you hear more and more about scam artists. And its gonna get worse.
The internet seems to be replacing the swap meet as a source of parts.

Hello
I thought I would write to you about a recent experience buying parts
online that might help somebody else in the future.
I'm restoring a 64 Malibu SS Hardtop and Conv. here, so I'm out looking
for parts. As the result, I recently found an individual who stated he had
the chrome pieces I needed. I wrote him and told him if he would provide a
list of the parts and conditions, as well as a "total package price", I'd
more than likely buy them all. He sent me a list of parts with prices and
some sketchy details on condition.
So, I immediately wrote him back, asking for photo's of the key items in
the list. He sent me back a statement that he had just "sold" those items. So
this makes me believe he never had these items at all, since I never received
any photo's of any of the parts listed.
As a result, I wrote him back and told him I'd never do any business with
him. It is no different than offering to sell a car to one person, and while
they are reviewing the car, it gets sold to another person. I mean, I
responded to his emails very very shortly after receiving them here, and
never was offered a phone number to be able to call him.
So I guess what I am saying is, that if you buy parts online, get photo's
before sending funds. I think this guy was just scamming me.
