Do any of you know a guy named Melvin Scott? He might buy Model A stuff. He claims to want to buy something I have but to me the way he wants to do the deal sounds FISHY. Thank you for any imput.
 
Just don’t send the item until funds clear. Check, money order, PayPal, other online payment service etc. There are many trusted payment services today: PayPal, Cahapp, Zelle, just to name a few.

I personally trust the online payment more than a check or money order.
 
Is the scam a secret ?

Sure must be! Dale does seem to want to share details. Maybe his original question could not be answered….”anybody know I guy named…”

Oh well…
 
Yes, beware of scams. LOL

Katy you hit the nail on the head, these examples are word for word from the message I got from Melvin Scott. Thank you so much for the information and F--k you Melvin Scott!!!! Thank you everyone, Dale Gosa.
 
I’ve gotten several scammy things like “John Doe” and if you look deeper into the email address they are foreign. However, some are cleaver enough to setup/hijack email address that look USA

I have heard that some off shore scammers have found ways to use USA area codes and are able to have the charges reversed so you can be charged for long distance foreign calls. Don't know if true or not.

That may be true but most scammers are now targeting cell phones as the use of them has become ubiquitous. It’s not a worry for me as I carry an unlimited rate cellular plan.

I’ve actually found that the scammers hang up on me if they think I’m not for real. I guess if you spend all your time scamming people you get pretty good at identifying the live ones.
