The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

attuyguy A recent "member" suddenly claims to have both of the rarer phonograph parts that I recently listed I was looking for. The same message on both posts. He has a friend that is parting out machines that surprisingly have the parts I need; but wants me to contact a "friend" of his through email to buy them. Sounds shady to me. Anyone else receive private messages from this guy? Moderator can take this down if not allowed; put I smelled scam in his messages. Thanks! Again the guys member name is: attuys9w7

Same here - just today

Ditto. Definitely a scammer.

Hah, I got that too. Hilarious to me that a scammer is on this forum. just wild.

This scammer just tried to sell me another horn crane. I have asked where it is located. Probably Nigeria

Here are the two images of cranes that are being offered to me. They clearly don't look like the one I have posted for in the Yankee Trader section. Does anyone recognize these pictures? They are probably copied from some other site.

That's funny, received that message about a Vic VI I was searching for back in August. Before it was some guy named TheGrey and some friend named Brian Adams. And I found that first crane picture, one of the first results on Google and Ebay

Thanks for the reply on the picture. I received another email message wanting to complete a transaction today. Person is claiming to be from Missouri. For me he is using an email of [email protected]

Same I got this message:

"Juiopp98 has Austin Pete Records that he wants to part out for a cheaper price But i'm not around right now, I couldn't purchase it from him maybe you should email him and see if he still have it for sale
Here's his Email [email protected]"
