Scammer
Watch out for a "dave candy" <[email protected]> He is offering Model 'A' parts for sale. He is a scammer.

Re: Scammer
I don't trust guys with hotmail or gmail accounts who are selling stuff.

Re: Scammer
Ray,
I sell model A parts sometimes and I have a hotmail account. Why would you write something like you did? Rusty Nelson |

That is like saying that if one crook drove Chevrolets, all Chevrolet drivers are crooks. I have GMAIL and I sell parts. MIKE (mikeburch) |

Re: Scammer
Quote:
My initial impression to offers from sellers (or buyers) with gmail and hotmail accounts is they aren't serious enough (or legitimate enough) to have an account and internet presence with an established local service provider. It's always caveat emptor on the net until you know for certain who you're dealing with, but these free accounts just raise a cautionary barrier for me. With a local service provider an IP address can be traced and the owner of an email account identified if necessary. This is impossible with gmail and hotmail accounts unless you are a law enforcement agency. At least that's how it was explained to me by my IT guy when I had my business. I didn't mean any offense to anyone in particular here. I was speaking in a general sense from personal experience in the larger world. I'm sure all Barners are honest, upright citizens and businessmen. Except, maybe, Dave Candy.

Re: Scammer
Geez, what a dog pile. I expressed a personal opinion based on personal experience. I didn't attack anyone personally.
I need to leave this forum for a while.

Re: Scammer
WOW! What a can of worms that opened up!
I agree that you can never be too careful about online purchases. Knowing that that was the point I took no offense even though I'm a gmail account holder myself. |

Re: Scammer
Never, EVER send money via any other method than Paypal when buying stuff online. Paypal, though not perfect, is the only way you can do it and still be protected from frauds like this guy.
BTW, I've checked - he is not a registered ford barn user. |
