Scam Alert

[AZ*]

I got a PM from a "Steven Cross" in answer to a wanted ad I placed on a Model T Ford forum. Wording was all very similar to the scam attempts here. What a bunch of turds!

Similar to a scam on a Chevy Nova forum. Same approach. Brand new forum member contacts a member who posted a WTB ad, and says a guy named "Doug Swindall" (appropriate name, don't you think?) has that part. Forum member emails Doug the conman, receives some pictures that were probably lifted from the internet, and Doug asks to be paid using Zelle. Unfortunately, the guy was so eager to get the part that he foolishly paid the conman. He got an expensive lesson.
