Restorer32 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 One isaacbrunswick@gmail.com just replied to our seeking a '49 Chrysler starter solenoid. He says he has one in excellent condition but sadly his internet connection will not allow him to send pics and oh yea, he wants payment in British Pounds by Western Union.

Highlander160 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karasmer Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scammers are getting smart.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.
