Default Scammer on the lose.

Hi Folks.
There is a scammer of very low intelligence amongst us. His email address is <[email protected]> He answered one of my classifies advertisements where I was wanting a 28/29 Pickup closed cab, cab only. He could not provide any pictures except a picture of a carburetor which he found online.
I don't know his name, but if you come across the email address above, please blacklist him.
cheers,
RHD.

Was your advert here on the Barn or elsewhere? If it was on the Barn make sure to report him/her to the mods so they can be banned.

I recently posted this on another thread:
I just received this PM from mikecurtis562. He has NO posts.

Hello contact [email protected]
They have what you are looking for

Smells like a scam attempt to me.


These rats need weeding out but the next person to be able to do that will be the first and he will make a fortune.

To check a potential scammer out I always ask a simple question, which tests their knowledge. I say 'is the part numbered QBF65F332' and if he says yes, then you know what to do. Always obtain photographs as another safeguard.

I just got a reply from [email protected] also. He had zero posts so I knew it was
no good.
Instead I bought my part from Gary Custer a stand up guy.

Hey, Don't let no pictures be a sign that someone is a scammer! I have not been able to get a picture in or out of this computer for over a year. It's a desktopMac and my camera is a Kodak "Easy share". I updated this machine and it hasn't worked since.
