Reporting another scam attempt

He hit me also, telling me he had parts for my 1948 Pontiac- same name and email address, same fund request, same excuse about his internet connection. I reported him also.

They did the same to me, saying they had my carburetor in excellent condition but couldn't send pictures. Figured something wasn't right.

If a potential seller doesn't offer, with no reserves of any kind, his name, ph number, pictures, mailing address, and anything else you'd think to do, well logic rules, no? You can tell, or should be able to, who's real and who isn't. I tell all and almost insist on a personal call so that some form of "meeting" is done before doing business. Seems fair to me, but then again I got nuttin to hide...

Be very careful even when they do send you photos, they borrow them off other sites such as Ebay. It happened to me the price was right not overly cheap but thought the photos looked just like the ones on Ebay I was looking at earlier and they were, two different sellers, different locations, same exact part. The scammers are getting smart.

That the important thing, to be aware that the photos sent could be some that were stolen from a legit seller. As I have read elsewhere, try to have the seller include a current newspaper in the same shot.

And THAT is why I always ask the "seller" for a certain view of the item in question. If they cannot provide that, they are scammers.
