Possible Scam George Potter
Anyone else get an email from this guy. George if you are real, I apologize for the accusation, but your emails do not make sense to me.
The first one started with asking me to send a list of parts I need for my car. I cannot remember when I posted a wanted ad, so I asked for a list of stuff he might have. I was a bit offstandish to begin as I dont usually respond to solicitations. He sent me a pic of a beautifully restored 79 S.E. that he said was parting out. I responded that the car looked too nice to be parted and he may get more money selling it as a whole. His next response was he needs surgery and wont be able to drive the car, the reason why he's parting it. None of this makes sense to me? |

If it was an e-mail he may not be on this site at all. Still sounds like a scam to me. If he can't drive the car because of surgery how can he take it apart?

Certainly sounds scammy. However, I checked and found no records of a George Potter ever being a member, either in good standing or banned. Can you explain better what you mean when you say the email was linked through the forum? I'm not sure how a non-PY member could do that.

This day and age? I’d definitely be wary also. Sounds like a “You pay me for the part, and I’ll be sure to never send it to you “ deal. You know that police can’t do anything about a scam where you voluntarily send someone money.

I cant post the link from pyforum because I deleted the emails. Not that I would know how to anyway. But it was linked through the py forums etc. I get update messages in my email the same way. Looked like the same thing. Thats why I opened it to begin with. Just keep your eyes out.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
