Anyone know "new generations cooper"? (online seller)

Need advice on a seller-Has anyone done business with New Generations Cooper?https://www.facebook.com/share/17FFL8BD1W/ They seem large and legitimate, but a few things seem possibly worrisome: I asked about some wheels that look great, price and shipping are spot on, I want to buy them. They even sent more photos. However, they are really pushing urgency on doing the deal. I started to look into the profile and I see lots of British plates and British buyers, but they say the wheels are in California and shipping is only $60 to get to me in Buffalo NY. Are you US.. or...? Also, they mentioned their PayPal is unavailable due to some problem (which does have some buyer protection), Venmo is unavailable, and they can do Zelle which doesn't offer any buyer protection - they REALLY started pushing urgency after I said I could Zelle. I don't want to picture a con rubbing his palms together going "He can Zelle!", and I also don't want to miss out on finally finding non-curbed wheels for my summer car. There's also a Telegram profile (I don't have Telegram) "new generation cooper garage" Can anyone vouch for this business? This seller?

Run! In my spare time, I’m a scam hunter. 100% scam. Does this look like a MINI owner to you 😂

Haha! I totally agree, I saw not just that one but at least one other and I thought THE SAME THING
I'm glad you said it and not me, but there's some fun looking people who are MINI owners, not someone who looks like someone's foreign aunt who was tricked into a photo holding a box...

Her sister and brother are also MINI owners 🤡 When you see hundreds of great parts, all photographed at different locations with different backgrounds, it’s a scam. The main trusted used parts sellers in the US are Allmag, Wilmek, MINI world, Open Road.
