The Ford Barn

Vanspeed · 12-04-2015, 11:44 AM

I got a pm from a "jsuther" regarding a seat for my 35 pickup. He gave me s number and email to a person he said has the parts I need. I emailed the guy and he responded with yes I have the seat, price includes shipping and he only takes western union or money gram. Said he would ship as soon as payment arrives. This does not sound right at all. Just want to tell you guys. I bet the guy who pm'd me is the same guy that I emailed.

I got the same pm from "jsuther". I googled that email address he gave and it showed up on a couple of gun forums, scam all the way.

"Western Union" and "Moneygram" are both big red flags.

When is the last time you asked to get paid I a moneygram?

Most people would ask for a Money order. To my knowledge all you need is a fake or stolen ID to pick up a money gram in cash. Money order gets mailed to an address or mailbox associated with someone or some company.

Because they're untraceable (you don't know who cashed them) and uncancellable, for starters.

any time your ask to pay by western union or moneygram its a scam, if you send money by either your money is gone, you will never get it back or your part, you have no way of contacting the guy once he has your money

milo · 12-04-2015, 05:41 PM

I see.. Thanks for the explanation...

Barry-ct · 12-04-2015, 06:58 PM

Scam for sure!

Let's shut this guy down since it appears he is the subject of another thread. I hope everyone takes notice.

alerting ford barn members is a good start.

Nine times out of ten they will use the words "kindly do this" or "kindly do that" as part of their instructions to you. They are mostly overseas and have a limited knowledge of English. The worst kind of scumbag.

I got the same reply from "jsuther" to my parts wanted ad and yep he shows up on other gun forums as well.
Thanks for the tip, I reported it to Fordbarn
