The guy is a known scammer and he roams all kinds of websites looking for victims. He has a disposable cellular number under 662-276-1307. That puts him in the Jackson, Mississippi area.

Contact Zelle and let them know that this person is a scammer and that he is using Zelle for interstate criminal theft and activities; a federal offense. Also, that you will be filing a criminal report to the Attorney General's Office of your state and the FTC.

Yep, he tried to scam me but didn’t work….any more if someone sends me a private message and isn’t a known racer it immediately gets deleted.

Someone needs to locate this guy and lay a "Roy Hill like" smack down on him!

I posted a wanted ad here for a Ford 351 C blowproof bell for my Dyno Don 77 Mustang II. Guy responded that he had one, i had purchased one the weekend previous at swap meet. Told him I no longer needed one. He said what else you need. I said an original carb for a 69 Boss 429. He said he had one and sent pics. It was correct and cheap. Just for grins i looked on EBAY at Boss 429 carbs and found an ad for one with the exact same pics I was sent and the carb on EBAY was 5k. I quit answering his texts, and he kept trying to hook me for 2 days before quitting.

What is the policy here to handle scammers? This site is where they hunt There should be something that can be done about it.

The problem probably is...dummies like me put my email address in the ad...

johntyler2029@gmail.com found me here,then lured me off this site everything else was done between us by E-mail. There were red flags all over it. The E-mail address I sent the money to wasn't even johntyler2029@gmail.com....I should have used a little common sense here...but. anyway it was only $150 so lesson learned and I'm still eating....I think we should only deal with folks we know who are legit
