Fraud
Beware guys ! I asked for an Owen-DynetoOD-C1B for sale in the Swap Meet.
A relatively new Barn member calling himself “Victory James”, gave me an email address: [email protected]. I bought a wiper $ 150 shipped. Then - upon sellers request - I transferred another $ 50 to cover shipping internationally. Seller - Dustin Griggs - just keeps asking for more money. He will not even send some pictures to prove existence of the wiper. I am not used to meeting people like that on The Barn ... and I shouldn’t be afraid of that ! Just beware ! That’s what I’m asking ... Henk |

Re: Fraud
ok guys on a brighter note, I sold some 1935 hubcaps to a guy I didn't know and he sent me the money first. I asked him if he was ok with that as he never heard of me either. He told me he has never been ripped off by a Model A guy. There is still honest people out there! Stay safe!

Re: Fraud
$ 200. $ 150 purchase + $ 50 shipping. It’s (luckily) not a big deal to me, but it really hurts being ripped within The Barn. Before I felt perfectly safe !

Re: Fraud
As you will see from my moniker, I live in New Zealand, and these b.......ds make it really difficult to do business on sites like this. We are fortunate the NZPost has set up a depot in Oregon so that we can get bits shipped within the U.S. Paypal / credit card is our best option for paying, as the banks want an arm and your leg for a bank cheque these days.

Re: Fraud
It is unfortunate that there are such rotten people on this earth. As BAL1962 says, there are still a lot of good people here too. I've been in the cam business since the mid 1970's, and ship them before billing the buyer so I know the actual shipping costs, and I have never been stiffed by a Model A guy! I've been had, but not by an A guy!
