Another scam on the site

Post by GG Gregory » Thu Aug 22, 2024 9:50 pm

Watch out for user name garysoul on here. He told me he was at Kim Dobbins place and saw a tool I was looking for. Well, I knew Kim was on the forum so I sent a message to the email the guy posted. The pic of the tool he sent belongs to another forum member. Be careful out there, the crooks are getting so smart aboutT parts and tools. Luckily someone else had tried that scam with the same pic several months ago when I ask about the same tool.

I advertised several times for smooth gray tires. I had 10-15 reply's. I responded in the same way to each, I asked for a photo of the serial number and production date embossed in the sidewall of the tires.

Surprise surprise, no one sent me any photos. These scammers now are using other posters names from here just changing the email address to theirs.

Gotta be careful out there, guys. Funny I found a set of 4 smooth grays on facebook, called the guy we chatted about his early 2 cylinder Ford and London to Brighton tours, people he knew and I also knew, sent him the money deal done..

He did it to me also. Was looking for a drop axle, same line about seeing it at Kim Dobbins. Pic sent to me was from ebay of a 30's drop axle not a T. Glad he didn't have a correct picture of a T axle.
