I had the same email in my private messages . He said that a friend had the Lakewood LE bolts I was looking for, when I noticed the zero posts I did not respond. I have been taken in the past, had the persons phone number and home address. The local police even gave him a visit.
It truly sucks as one becomes less trusting to me this was a greater loss than the money.

I also received a want ad PM response on Feb 9 from him with the same email. Between the wording and no post history it didn't smell right. Happy I ignored it.

FYI, Gmail addresses are very popular with the scammers.

If you stay in this hobby long enough....you will get burned and scammed someway somehow. It’s unfortunate but there are just too many bad people out there praying on us.

If you do....as Steve says....and use common sense. You will make wiser decisions.

So sorry you got taken. I know all too well how it feels.

Stinks this is the first time in all the years I’ve been messing with cars and trucks. I shoulda been more cautious but I was excited to finally find 4 date matched ao wheels to my car. Oh well live and learn

Internet fraud is literally out of control. And unfortunately if and when the scammers are caught and prosecuted the courts seem to sentence them very lightly. It's a shame.

Rick,

Did you pay with goods and services, or friends and family?

Received another one today. This one from Ray Max [email protected] who wanted to sell me a 70 Camaro for $4500 and would ship it to my house. He located me through a Yenko.net post here. I did a search and he is listed as a scammer on at least 3 sites that I found so be careful and do not correspond with this guy. He just joined Yenko.net today and was also banned today.

I encourage anyone who suspects they are being scammed, and it involves this site, please contact me ASAP. We certainly want to root out those perpetuating scams...

Steve,
I think I have one for you.
