That is why the contact info if shown should not be posted for all to view.

Interesting: I've only bought or sold stuff here from members, and didn't know that info was public.
The items I've bought or sold elsewhere were advertised elsewhere, leading to my simplistic understanding.

Glad to see a warning about another potential scammer, thanks for posting.

20+ years ago when I was first on this board selling parts, a buyer did something that I thought was a great idea. He sent his payment to me, a money order I believe, by certified mail requiring a signature. It was for some NOS parts that were $400 or so. Ever since that transaction I've done the same thing buying parts unless I was going to meet the seller in person.

Now that PayPal & other electronic methods are used I can't remember the last time & used or accepted a MO.
