    Angry Isn't this guy spamming?

    I posted the following:

    wtb: 911E motor #6230050..."Title says it all....this motor belongs in my 1973 E....so I'd like to find it.
    Long shot...I know.
    Dave"


    Then I got this PM:

    "Please e-mail me on kennymorgan993@gmail.com with your wanted part request and I will get back to you Asap. What's your phone number?

    Kenneth Morgan
    United Kingdom."

    There must be a way to revoke access to the website for these kinds of people
    "Speed never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary...that's what get's you."

    1973 Austin Mini
    1975 911S 3.2 "the blue goose"
    1973 911E sunroof 3.2

    Sounds like the same guy that tried to scam me. Same method, saying his paypal was down and from the UK. He called himself Ernest Cole.

    Yes Ernest Cole responded to a WTB post I had for a tire inflator. He said he had one and wanted 150 GBP and wanted to be paid via money gram and not Pay Pal. I told him to send a picture of the item and he responded with this; AM SORRY BUT MY INTERNET CONNECTION SEEMS TO BE VERY POOR. Needless to say, I broke contact with this jerk

    I like the idea of turning the tables on them and asking for their bank account info, to make a deposit.
    There used to be a great site (419 eater) where internet scammers were lead down an often hilarious path of hoops to jump through before they could get their £££ (which never happened).
