Another Scammer
Twice now, I have placed wanted ads on this site and twice have received texts from the same person informing they had the item for sale. Both times I said to email me or contact me through the Ford Barn. The text number is 320-349-2168. After googleing this number, I discovered others have been scammed from this person. BEWARE...

Re: Another Scammer
Just don't trust people who leave phone numbers or email addresses to contact. I would at least make sure that he is a legit member of the barn ...

One I remember and follow is always require a PM; no direct email or phone. Scammers seldom have enough history to respond. Or, it will show number of posts; if less than 10, forget them. |

Re: Another Scammer
I have been contacted several times by US members of this forum when they are dealing with someone in Australia to ask whether I know them. Australia is the size of your lower 48 so the chances are slim that I do, yet 3 times I have been able to help. All 3 times, the deal was done successfully.
Barn members are a good source of information about our Model As and a good resource when checking the bona fides of someone.

Re: Another Scammer

Re: Another Scammer
I'm in escrow for the bridge and plan to move it for access to the swamp land I'm also buying in Florida.

Re: Another Scammer
Ive been screwed after I made a poor buying decision online. Luckily it was only $50. I get leary of people that ask for you adress to come buy stuff but never show up or respond again. I wonder if they are able to use that info to for identity theft or something.

Re: Another Scammer
....and catalytic converters too. My F250 got 'hacked' a few days ago. I feel so violated...right in the front yard of my house...and I live out in the country where it is (or was) peaceful and quiet. Guess I should be thankful they didn't bust up my antiques in the yard and garage!

Re: Another Scammer
Had a near miss a few years ago, in the middle of the afternoon, so I had an alarm system put in, peace of mind for $30 month monitoring.
