Guest greasysgarage Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Thanks for the tip, I'm new to AACA and dont yet have a handle on all the workings,Richard HeleI recently posted a Want to Buy ad on this forum for a rather obscure part and got a response rather quickly. "Seller" asking me to send a Money Gram to the UK. The message came in the form of a private message. So, after doing a little research on these forums I have decided that this too is a scammer looking for a money order for a part that will never arrive. Beware because they are out there and you never know where they are looking for the next victim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Jr. Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Hi, I received the same message a few days ago too from a Tony Roberts (donotreply). Did not like the contents of the e-mail .Did not open it for fear of causing a problem here! Reported it to a moderator but got no answer yet as to what to do with the e-mail. Do I just delete it ? Thanks Don. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NCRS Discussion Board also has been shut down now and then also for similar reasons.FYI Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
