Another scam attempt by FBBO "member"

[1966satellite]

Recently I was scammed out of $200 by a member (Jwvr) and notifies everyone on here. Well it looks like he is at it again but this time he is Frnkb. His e-mail address is frnkb574 @ gmail.com this time and his profile says he is in Indiana. Last time his e-mail was [email protected] and he was in California. His MO is the same as last time and he even uses the same words in his e-mails.

what other specifics can you share with all of us "honest members" ??, any details ?? Thanks for the heads up, there's almost nothen' worse, than a low life "parts scammer"...

 

[Propwash]

No doubt......Any more info would be great. Like would he rather be kicked in the ear or socked in the mouth?

[sublimegtx]

don't ever send $$$ western union to someone you don't know personally. Even WU advises againts it.

Is he contacting you all by PM or posting on the boards?

Be more specific. Not a perfect world. Caveat Emptor.

I have a wanted ad posted here and received a PM asking if I was still looking for the part. If so, I was asked to contact him (Frank Bishop) directly through email. I emailed that yes, I was still looking for the part. He replied via email saying:

I still have the 67 Satellite Fender for sale in excellent shape and
condition. Asking $240 shipped for it. I will be shipping via UPS or
FedEx whichever you prefer and shall accept payment via Western union
or Money gram. What's your shipping address?
thanks
Frank.

I followed up asking for a refresher as I don't have any recollection of a conversation. I asked for photos as well and that was it - he was gone. No response. FWIW, he had zero posts so I couldn't even go find an ad he had placed or any history on him. Seemed suspicious from the start not to mention UPS or FedEx won't ship a fender, especially at that price. I went back in to my PM's and his original message is gone.

Both times he contacted me by PM after I had posted that I was looking for a rear bumper for a 66 satellite. Each time he said he had a bumper and gave me his e-mail address. He wanted to be paid thru Western Union or MoneyGram. When I asked him for pictures he said he was having problems uploading pictures but the bumper condition was "good and perfect". When I asked for a phone number he quit responding.
