Thanks for posting the info above. When I get a suspicious request I do a name search on the Ford Barn first........
FYI: scammer, aka Melvin Scott is still working Ford barn ads.

Not a problem HERE! If I don't recognize the number calling, I don't answer the a-holes. What's REALLY amazing is how many of those numbers continue to call relentlessly, day after day, month after month.

I don't answer any call that I don't recognize and if they don't leave a message I block the number. If the message is legit I will call back. If the message is a scam call I block the number. Same with text messages. Emails are a little harder but I try to train my spam blocker. I have two spam blockers in series for emails so if the first one does not block it sometime the second one will.

I got the exact same word for word scam that Katy showed in his 2nd link for a car that i am selling.

They must be nice people, offering you $200 so that you can say SOLD on the add. GEEEEEZ, what do they take us for.
