    WARNING ! Apparent Scam

    List members beware. I believe this is a scam. I received an email in response to my post looking for door pockets. The western union and no response to my request fo pics make me VERY suspicious The email came from "Ian Carlson" email IanCarslon80@gmail.com(If I'm wrong, I apologize in advance and will remove this thread. ) Thanks.

    Yup never use Western Union for anything but sending money to your kids. Anyone in Europe who is legit should be savvy to electronic bank transfers for payments.

    I don't know why we allow non-paid up members to PM or to post
    anywhere but general, help, and possibly technical info.

    Read yes, post/PM no.

    I can't blame the board in this case re PM. I usually and did in this case post my email address. I find it easier but you have to be a little more careful. Thanks.

    I have received the same deal asking for a phone number and the "subject line" reference. Different e mail so beware of the language and phone number request on your want ads. I agree no pay no way.
