The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I got an PM from Martha Grant telling me to contact a guy name Zenith who has what I am looking for at a great price. Everything screams scammer to me. At this point, I don't think I will deal with anyone I don't know.

There seems to be unusually high scammer activity lately. It's getting to the point where we should ask, "Who can vouch for you?"

Yes, I had that same person and scenario with a Yankee Trader Posting. The first thing that went through my mind was who is Zenith and why do they have no profile here? And no postings from "Martha". So, simply ignored.

Definitely a scam.

BTW, my friend Archimedes has the item you want

I was and am still, looking for a cover for a Columbia BG Graphophone and the same "Martha" responded to me right away about a week ago. I've gotten so used to this type of thing that it's become easy to spot, just ignored it. Has become just part of the game.

Just curious how our Forum works. If it is obvious, can't we just boot them?

There's a Nigerian princess who has just what you want, and all you need to do is send her the numbers for your bank account...
