Me too Carl. The interesting part was he mentioned 65nss4spdGTO who is a member here having the cam I posted I was looking for with a contact email. They are getting smarter

Member Eric has zero posts.

Joined December 30 1999 so not a new member, last active September 12 2002.

Are you sure? Maybe the Eric username you said contacted you has an underscore after it or?

Just now found: Eric_ is a new user who joined March 4 2025.

Banned.

Exactly, I sent a PM to 65nss to confirm vs using the Gmail link but they are for sure getting smarter

I also had a message from Eric about a WTB ad with the same member 65nss4spdGTO and email address. They’re trying all angles

65nss4spdGTO

Last posted 8-17-2021 easily found by anyone here using the search function.

Last active 3-18-2024 which only mods and admins can access.

So do your due diligence and research, 65nss4spdGTO hasn’t been an active member for quite some time so he quite likely won’t be sending any messages regarding parts.

Some profiles won’t show their last active date because they’re using invisible mode.

Rec'd the same email for 63 Tempest parts I'm looking for- but PM'd 65nss4spdGTO instead of emailing the included address.
Suspected a scam...

He wasn’t here long, but he was busy. He tried me with the same tactics.

Idk why this post count thing isn’t set up better a long time seller here could have zero posts. Just cost me RAV parts because someone had zero posts. Figured it was hacked.

Maybe it should be that you can’t post classifieds without 100 posts or something
Of course that doesn’t help with the wanted ad thing.
Maybe can’t PM without 100 posts also Can’t make it 7 or something g because these thieves wil put the work in to get to 7

They hit me too.
This is what they said.

Hello,
I recently purchase some items from 65nss4spdGTO, 1969 Grand Prix Parchment door panels is among the items he's willing to part out with. You can email him at jeff morthy 28 @ g mail. com if he still have it available.
Thanks,

This one is more than a spam bot. This is a person who is reading the want ads and trying to hook us with the specific part we want.

isn't there a setting that prevents members with too low a post count from PM'ing other members?

Molliesspur is another "helpful" new member. He sent me a message 2 1/2 hours ago about a frame I'm hoping to locate.
