Contributing Member Ferg Posted July 28, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted July 28, 2015 I received an E-Mail to my personal account this morning from someone named John. Supposedly lived in USA but now in Japan. He said I had tools for sale at some time, I don't and didn't, wanted me to contact him with ANY FURTHER INFO. Sounded "fishy" to me. Just wanted to give you folks a heads up. BTW: I didn't answer him. ferg Quote
Members BondoBobCustomSaddles Posted July 28, 2015 Members Report Posted July 28, 2015 You have to be careful, there are all kinds of scams out there and they aren't bashful about trying to get into your information. I have had them send me a note saying they are interested in ordering saddles and want to know all kinds of information about me and what I have and so on. One thing that seems to crop up in their notes is that they have a very bad grasp of the English language and it shows in the communication. They miss-spell a lot of words along with poor to non-existent grammar skills. Not that we are perfect and are prone to using slang some, but; the way they butcher the English language is pretty prevalent. Be careful out there! Thanks for the heads up Ferg! Bob Quote
