I just received a PM from a new member that appears to be scam related...how do we normally deal with this?

AV

Soliciting new member name is "*****." Here is the PM:

"Tea in Texas has a rear cylinder head that she wants to part out for a cheaper price but because i'm not in the state right now, i couldn't purchase it from her maybe you should contact her and see if she still have it for sale. Here's her teawills43@gmail.com

 

"*****" IP address is in the US, the email is a gmail address.
Its strange but Im not seeing the common signs of a spammer.

I've sent Tea in Texas an email, and she immediately responded and her name is Teresa Williams

No such user on the forum, so this person is confused as to what forum I meant or?????

 

He sent me another PM for other stuff. I wouldn't buy anything or even communicate. I bet 1 roll of toilet paper that the member is also Tea in Texas playing both ends. My 2 pence.

I was told "Lol, are you kidding me? Guess you typed the username wrong.



Thanks Williams "

Umm, I copied and pasted what was sent

Mhm:

So they live at K&K Powder Kote...in the parking lot I presume?

 

Its residential house, so the PC place would be a home based thing Id say.

 

So I asked "Tea" what parts she had and got
The member "*****"

said
and
Clearly there is some shanaganes or reallllllly bad communication going on here.

 

Yeah, I'm all set.
