Scammer alert thread
This thread is to be used to notify our members of scammers. If you have been scammed, please post and share their email and username. The goal is to expose the Scammer, stop them doing the same others. If unsure, please PM me first. I have found just Googling their suspicious email will help identify and prevent you and others from becoming a victim.

I recommend that you have sellers PM you, because at least they have to register to contact you. As always be cautious of non-members contacting you via your email listed in your wanted ad. I sent this to another member Paul- This email seems to be linked to a spammer. I just googled the email and found ited link to spammer. I recommend not listing your email but rather they pm you. This requires they join and help verify.

He was pretty slick sending pictures of the seal etc. I should had picked up on it because a few of his emails were weird. I glanced over it because of the "referral" I went back to the PM page and now see the above guy is banned off the site. I did not notice that during my first response to him.

Sorry to any of us who get tagged by these bastards but best always Google anyone you’re considering dealing with also using quotation marks around words often helps zero in on correct results. Whether member requests here are processed manually or by computer, would Googling their email addresses provided before approval be too tedious or possible to add to the computer program? ~ Pete . __________________ I like real cars best...especially the REAL real ones!
