Potential scam

[IDSpud]

I'm a fairly new Model A owner (August '25), and recently was looking for a gas tank. A forum user suggested that I contact Jo Shi, email: [email protected], as he's sold parts before. I contacted Jo (think that's a partial actual name), he said had one with these pics. Granted, he could have pulled these pics from anywhere and passed them as a tank that he had. I then sent him a cashier's check for the amount, (sent to his "wife"s work address, which turned out to be in an apartment complex) and he received the $ on January 13.
To date, I haven't heard from him after multiple attempts by email. I did find out that the check was deposited, of course.


So, this is probably a $ scam, and it's on me, unless he suddenly provides a reason for the long delay with no response. Should have been suspicious when I researched the address to be in an apartment complex, and not his actual address. Everyone be watchful, if you see his name or email come up regarding Model A parts...


I do have (2) other sources for tanks, which I will carefully vet.
