Attention
I want you all guys to pay attention about a guy named Terry Coulson. He wants us to send a Western Union Cheque for a 32 Ford Intake Manifold to following address.
Payment Information: Receiver's Name: Frances Flores Receiver's Address: 328 Euclid avenue, Ontario California, USA 91762 Amount to send: $210 We sent the payment and never get any response again to the parts or something. Also the Name of his shop he gave us "Autoparts Obsolete" with the telephone number did exist, but they don't know a guy with his name. Sometimes it's easy to cheat people they need such "rare" parts for their project. So please pay Attention. |

Re: Attention
I did one transaction via Western Union 5/6 years ago with a guy in Germany. This one worked ok for me but that was then and this is now. So much scamming going on with the Internet these days that I would never do this again.
Sorry you got taken!

Re: Attention
A good word for a couple of guys I have done business with recently. One was in Colorado who sold me a pulley and took my personal check and delivered as promised and the other was in Texas who I sold a manifold to. It got to him fine and his check to me was fine. Just wanted to mention there are some pretty decent fella's out there in Ford land after all. Good to work with.

Re: Attention
Yes, it is good to know some good addresses to get parts for the project. Next time somebody only wants a Western Union Cheque for payment, I'll look closer and try the phone number sent in the email first. I also have some good experience with fellas using the way of sending a cheque. That's why I don't looked to close this time. I checked with my Bank and I can cancel the Cheque, but have to pay the half of the amount for doing the transaction, but it is me worth the money, to know the scammer don't get a pence of it. I hope it really'll work. Thanks for looking in google street view and the information of the false address. I'll post what happened, but I want you to do no business with this guy, he is definitively a scammer.
Wanted to buy the piece for my friend Rusty from Ohio, who is in the process of building a 34 engine with 32 parts for a 32 chassis. Thanks, Alex |
