Scammer Alert
 

A member joined today and immediately reached out to members wanted ads. His username is Cranberry70SSL342 If you been contacted be very careful(don't send money). He is temporarily in time-out until I can confirm his legitimacy.

I wish I saw this sooner. I did not notice the banned status until after I sent an email to him.
crap. There is no way he has E series polyglass tires AND a april - may 69 396 JH 4 speed L78 block. I fell for the block response like an idiot. he has my email, my phone, no funds

Not to be confused with CranberrySSL34 who is an upstanding member.

I was the one that alerted Steve and saw the 2 at the end of this scammers name. He responded to an add of mine. I thought I remembered a member by that name and checked the list, and found the member without the 2, who has been here a long time. The scammer registered today, but was cunning to use an existing name with a slight change.

Same here. He responded to three of my ads this am.
Has email, phone number, no funds sent.

I was also contacted by this person, He said he had a part that I have listed in the parts wanted section, seamed really fishy with only one post and recently joining. He supplied a direct email to contact him there which to me is a red flag. Great to see you guys on this type of stuff!!

Uggh, I was also contacted by him to a "Parts Wanted" ad.. People suck

He contacted me about a Hemi K frame today.

Yep! He responded to a wanted ad that I had. I saw he had only 1 post and was banned, so I came to this thread to check. His [email protected]

Thanks Steve for being on top of this. I think I can speak for the rest, that WE appreciate your efforts!!

When you place a wanted ad always be diligent validating the member contacting you.

*How long has he been a member

*If they offer you an item I would request they become contributing/paid member.

*If they provide an email or phone do a google search. I get a hit that they are scammers 90% of the time. This last scammer was difficult because he was shielded by a VPN.

We all need to be diligent and not give them benefit of the doubt.

Thanks to the members who alerted me and help prevent members from getting ripped off!
