Hi, I will be able to source out these parts like I have done in the past if you let me know all that you are looking to purchase and a phone number to bremmersproperties@gmail.com

every forum has em.
John has a Hewland MK9 listed on race-cars for 3k.... He will send pictures (of brand new unit) and when asked for more pictures...he does send, but the first picture had external slave and second one had annular internal. Never would send picture with a visible paper with my name. Beware, he is on Pelican,Lotus, Ferrari forums!
Thanks Apex, Great site,
John Bremmer is trying to scam me at the moment, he has taken a photo of someone's project car from the Palliser register and offered me the bodywork, plus other parts and a MK 9 gearbox, prices are just below what they should be to get you hooked in.
Luckily I have copied many others project photos fot my reference so knew I had seen photo before.
If you read his English it's not quite the Queens English that I speak, but if you read it with a African accent it all makes sense.
Thanks, a quick search on here tonight for his name had verified he is a scammer.
you will always get a scammer reply to you when you run a wanted advert!!
Just got an email from this individual with the exact same wording as xmazdatracy's post above. This in regards to my WTB post for Panasport Centerlocks. Goofy wording and all.

Does any one know of this guy? Carl Sigmann merlinoilllc@gmail.com He wanted pictures of the wheels that I am selling for his 89 VD and says he cannot log on to Apexspeed. I have gotten suspicious recently after I have sent pictures.

Unfortunately. I cannot log into apexspeed at this time, their login will not allow me
Another one with the same wording, again in reply to my Staffs WTB thread.Hi, I will be able to source out these parts like I have done in the
past if you let me know all that you are looking to purchase and a

Got another email this morning from a Mark Benson at a gmail address. Somewhat cryptic response to my WTB Panasport Centerlocks. Deleted.
Who knew there were so many parts suppliers in Nigeria.....
I have a wanted exhaust for Swift posted receive a reply form Mark Benson and a reply from Cambell Nixon both may be scam guys not sure any one know them Thank you Rock
This guy Is over at another board claiming to have whatever part you are needing. He will provide old photos. Most likely from other boards. Almost every camera and cell phone has a date and time stamp option. I will ask for a photo with the date and time stamp. I almost never get a photo back.
I just got this. New member. Details in the title cut and past my wtb but no detail on the message.
Write me on allenskey34@gmail.com and I will get back to you on pricing and pictures. Let me know Asap.

"Michael Allen" just send me an email with a picture of a Dulon full of parts that I would like to buy. Problem is, it is a picture of my car from an add a couple of owners ago. WTF? I am emailing him back and forth trying to get the address of where I can see the car, to meet him with cash.
+1 (408) 827-1204. Either Paul or Tonya. Wanted me to Zelle money for crossle bodywork i was
previously looking for on apex. Tonya 2 days ago and Paul phishing today. Identical mistakes
texting would indicate the same person, proficient in English but not their first language
Zelle seems to be a path for scams. Be very cautious using anything other than PayPal or Venmo.

There's no good substitute for green paper money.
Caldwell D9B - Sold
Crossle' 30/32/45 Mongrel - Sold
RF94 Monoshock - here goes nothin'
For whatever it's worth, for quite a while, I've used Zelle once a month to make some recurring payments and have never had any issues.
And I've also used it a few times for one-off payments to buy car stuff from strangers, also with no problems.
I just like that all it takes to set up a payment account is someone's phone number. Which is so much easier than setting up a wire transfer account at a bank. And the money is transferred immediately, unlike bank transfers.
I hate getting cash out of the bank. 25 years at the same branch and they always look at me funny when I take out a bunch of cash. And they always make a big deal that I will have to fill out an IRS form if it's over $10K – but why would I care about a form if I'm not doing anything wrong? Does my banker assume I cheat on my taxes? That I'm heading up an off-shore criminal enterprise? Both? BTW, I recently learned that the bank also has to fill out a form, so I think that's the real reason they try to talk you out of it!
And BofA changed over their own "easy-cash" system for Zelle. Maybe they bought Zelle or something. But I like it – if a problem did come up, I'd rather deal with BofA than a Silicon Valley App company. (****, I just realized that since I have BofA stock, maybe I own Zelle, too! Just a coincidence, I promise...)
Remember folks, Zelle doesn't shoot people, people shoot people...
Speaking of money –new price for my Caldwell: $15K! Payment just has to be done through my uncle at his bank in Albania, but it's totally ok...
Agree the scammers are the problem, but Zelle makes it easier to run the scam. In addition, if you make a simple error on the phone #, Zelle will not reverse the error without a lot of grief involved.

Just got a PM from a brand new account named jsuther asking me to email his friend Max (maxpad118@gmail.com) in response to an old WTB ad of mine.
Undoubtedly a scam.
