    Hi Don,
    Same thing with me, only this person's name was "Don Billy". Every time I advertise I get some low life offering me way more money than what I am asking. I delete right away now. I wish these low lifes would just go away.

    Yeah well while you are at it you might keep your eyes peeled for Colley Kieta, Brenda Macintyre and Ken Matthew as well. One of these days one of these creeps is going to make the wrong slip up and they will get caught.

    Most of those reply's,from what i am told are automaticaly generated.You can combat them by a simple space,or spelling out dot etc. in your posted e-mail address, say Mine for example NewstalgiaAAFD@aoldotcom, then simply tell people to substitute the dot with . in your text.

    There is also a Richard Green. He almost got me for a new crankshaft with a fake money order.

    The English internet drag racing magazine 'Eurodragster' has the same problem with their classifieds section. Advertise almost anything for sale and you will get scam replies often asking lots of questions no one in racing would need to ask BEWARE.

    Bob the deals I'm talking about are not automated. I have had several interactions with each of these individuals. They are pretty slick and they would rip you off if you let them. I can show you three really good forged checks for a lot of money. Luck I was on my toes.
