Scammer Alert !
Guy named Roy Miller...... I was in a conversation via email with : [email protected]. He say's that he is in Florida.
I was referred to this guy by jasoncleverly722 from the Ford Barn. Trying to buy a $35 cowl vent screen for a 34' Ford. He wont take a Money Order but states to open banking app on line. Frustrated me after 9 e-mails I told him to go pound sand and I would post his name as a scammer on HAMB and Ford Barn. Now I see he's been complained about many, many times on HAMB. Beware !!! |

Re: Scammer Alert !
Yeah, it’s been my life’s experience that those that profess their Christian values the loudest are the most un-Christ-like people.

Re: Scammer Alert !
Gladly there are still mostly honest people in the old car buisness...
The scammers are damn clever and prey on anyone they can today...even old car guys... If you shipped him the carb there must be an adress...sponsor you local bikerclub to have a little barbeque in his yard...hot dogs is optional... |

Re: Scammer Alert !
Well, I thought it would be obvious, but if someone buying or selling starts to interject non-automotive topics into the negotiation (such as politics, law enforcement, or religion), it should cause one to immediately become suspicious.

Agreed. You see the symbols in their advertisements and think of the double edged swords they are waving around. The targeting of those certain groups shows contempt for them as marks.

Re: Scammer Alert !
I get suspicious when an add comes up on this site and you contact the person and ask for pictures rather than just a description and they won't provide you with any pictures of the items for sale. The sad part is I am truly interested in the item they have for sale.
