I have an offer to sell me parts if I send a $200 Moneygram. I don't know the guy and I am wary. What do y'all think? Richard Richard

Sounds phony to me. I think you would be kissing your money goodbye.

Sounds like a scam. Ask the guy if he is an Early Ford V-8 Club member and ask for his phone#. Tell him you want to look him up in the club roster. If you posted a want ad on this site there are scammers roaming this site and others all the time. The word moneygram is the first big tip off.

How did the parts look in the pictures he sent you? I assume you asked for pictures. Charlie Stephens

It's crooked like the emails to send money to a bank overseas to share in a lot of money. Don't send a plug nickel to this guy!! Regards, Steve Lee

I have done precisely that and the parts arrived with no problems BUT I would never do it again . I think I was the lucky 1 in 100 that was dealing with a genuine seller . I only did it because the parts were incredibly rare and I had photos of the parts ( I figured with such rare parts no scammer would be able to find photos of them to pass off as their own ) I would ask where the parts are located and then tell the seller that you have a friend locally who will pick up the parts and pay for them - I suspect you will never hear from them again- a genuine seller won't mind you being cautious a scammer will delay, become abusive or just disappear -Karl This message was edited by hupdoc on 6-19-18 @ 7:16 PM
