    Where can I list a jerk's email address who sent me a private message regarding my part wanted post and tried to get me to send a money gram? I Googled his email address and found that he tried the same scam at another web site. I want to warn others.

    Just post it right here and I will post the warning in the WANTED SECTION.

    Thanks.

    I have sticky posts in the WANTED SECTION that lists some scammers.
     

  6. I got a pm from jim301who stated he had a 37-40 IH windshield for me and to contact him @ [email protected]

    I told him I was very interested and would like pics, truck year and where it was located before I committed.

    His reply:

    > Hi Bob,
    >
    > I still have the IH windshield for sale in excellent shape and
    > condition. I'm asking $200 shipped for it. I will be shipping via UPS
    > or FedEx whichever you prefer and shall accept payment via Money gram
    > as my PayPal is dormant. What's your shipping address?
    >
    > thanks,
    > Jim.

    Again, I told him I would gladly send $ today if he would provide a pic, year of the truck it came from and where it was coming from.

    Todays reply:

    > Am having troubles uploading images but condition is good and perfect.

    Red flags are that he just became a member on Monday, won't tell me the year of the truck, where he's from. I could understand not being able to send pictures.

    Here's the kicker:
