junkyardjeff Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I got the same response for a add I posted looking for a 292 Y block,I knew it was a scam but responded saying why would I spend big money to get a motor shipped from England when I can find one in the states. The scammer tried to tell me that it could be shipped inexpensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom M Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I received the same response yesterday on my Headlight wanted add. Is this guy legit or a scammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I guess my personal question is does any offer pass the sniff test and is the "radar" going off going ding.ding, ding???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 At least have him supply good photos of the parts you are looking for. Add a request for something nonexistent and see if he says he can supply it. You must be much more diligent in the age of internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gary Hearn Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I received the same response yesterday on my Headlight wanted add. Is this guy legit or a scammer.The only way to find out is to send him some money! Since I have none to spare, could you test the waters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelsBuicks Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I get this all the time from my ads for buick parts I'm needing. Nothing but scammers that want you to send $$ Western Union. You'll get used to ignoring them.Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigersdad Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Same thing with me for my 1934 Buick. SCAM!!! The unsolicited e-mails lasted for about 4 months, then subsided.Jay1931 Cadillac 355A Town Car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalef62 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I got the same thing for a wanted ad for a Crosley hood ornament that I had posted 2 weeks ago. About 1 week later I was ready to send him a couple pics of the item I needed and then I got another email from London with the same message exactly with a different name and address in the email. SCAM!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
