I recently posted a parts wanted ad for a small starter support bracket. The first response was by an individual named Chris Talley. He quoted me a price of $170 for this small item. The responder requested that I make payment via Western Union money gram. If payment was sent I'm sure I never would have received the part. It is obvious the scammer had no idea of the actual value of the part that I was trying to locate. I was able to purchase the bracket at a very reasonable price from a V8 Club member. The parts wanted ad achieved quick results.

Rick50: Glad you are pleased with the Classifieds. Sorry we can't protect everyone from persons who have no integrity. On the other hand, you did the right thing and noticed things did not seem quite right. Glad you were able to acquire the part you needed at a fair and reasonable cost.

The same person contacted me about purchasing a 21 stud engine. He even sent me photo's of a car and an engine to prove he had them. The only problem is that the photo's were of cars/engine he does not own.The photo's were taken off of the HAMB site. Be wary of any e-mails that use "buddy" or "the above mentioned parts" in them. Never use Moneygram or Western Union as payment for anything you are not 100% certain about.
