John Paul just emailed me again after I asked for pictures of the door sill moldings and the gear shift knob. This is what his reply was. They will work, and they are perfect in good condition. Return can be
made within 14 days of receiving the item. No worries about shipment
,I will take payment
via Money gram.
I just replied, "John Paul I still want the measurements and pictures of the door sill moldings and the gear shift knob. Do the running board mats have a lip or are they just flat and how long are they? Before I send any money I want to be sure what I am buying".
I'm going to see what he comes up with for an answer this time. I don't think this guy knows headlight or a tail pipe. I think I'm going to ask him if he has a NOS muffler belt for my 38. LOL

Heres a new one...he wants me to buy an iTunes gift card and then send him a picture with the activation code exposed, then he'll send me my parts.
Surely someone on this site has someone or lives in Florida, that could insist on picking up their parts in person????

Stopping scammers starts with you. As always, talk them them... get photos... pay using paypal and include insurance, etc.

I doubt he is in Florida and if he gives an address it most likely is not his. Good chance he is in another country.

When I got a reply to my PM to him it was via a new post from " Brewsteer3 ". Good clue is he registered the same day he replied and has no post. No post or history to me sends up the red flag.

Jon,
You are mistaken. He knows what he has because he has nothing. Whenever I get contacted by these guys, they always say they have my part. Never, I have your bearing or I have your tail light. If the message comes from "xxxxspares", that probably means it came from England or some other english speaking place where extra parts are referred to as "spares"
I have had phone calls from some scammers (not foreigners) when they found an ad with my number. I asked for photos so they robbed some pics from an eBay listing and sent them to me. You gotta be alert.

In addition to Brewsteer3 , we now have Chris Brumfield, 2416 Est 10th St, The Dalles, OR 97058. The bunch of crooks are preventing me from getting legitimate leads on a clear 50 fog light bulb.

If someone has that bulb, please call me. 360-989-5981

It might be very helpful to have a current printed VCCA Roster book printed to look up current members. My last copy is from Dec. 2011. I would pay to have a copy.

Ray, This guy says he has a 34 Heater. Do you know for sure he's a scammer. I see he's not a member.

Jon, all I can say is when I insisted I pay by PayPal, he ducked his tail and ran. He insisted I pay by Venmo. Never heard of that system.

Jon T, I would pay for one also mainly because I don't have one. I joined in 2014 and I didn't know there was one out there. Oh and I have been talking via email to Chrisopher Brumfield the running board mats that I have been looking for. I got his email from a private message from Brewsteer3, that I though was a member. It read " Contact Chris in Oregon, He has a 38 Cabriolet gear shift knob for sale. Here's his email Chrisbrumfield01@gmail.com",
. He even sent me a picture of the real thing. I'm glad I didn't bite

All VCCA members have access on the VCCA main page menu to check member status. All you need is his VCCA number (if listed on his chat profile) . If he is not listed as a VCCA member thats the first red flag. If he joined today or yesterday that's the second red flag. If he wants you to contact someone else that's the third red flag. If his conversation is vague such as not to include any reference to the part other than he or someone else has it then that's the fourth red flag. Other than a non member red flag all others are a no go for me.

I have banned "Brewsteer3" for 30 days. Let's see what he comes back as. I can't ban any more of them unless they post on Chevy
Chat. For example I can't do anything about "Chris Brumfield" as he has not posted on our Forum.

There's a new scam person lurking around. I posted a parts wanted at the AACA for a right rear fender for my 38 Cabriolet. I got a message from " 0ldkm.00" that said "Shoot me a text if you still need the Rear fender for 1938 Chevy. 915-671-0772". I didn't text him because he had only joined AACA the day I posted the item. I just thought you all should know that there are some more or the same scammer still working the Parts Wanted forums.

Just got a reply to my parts wanted ad from "Joeming" who joined today . Strange he says he is in Washington but listed Florida when he registered for Chat. Also used the same wording as previous scams:" This is Joe. Emailing about your wanted Ad. I do have for sale in excellent

condition . I am in Washington and I can arrange shipping . please email me on

joeming0147@gmail.com" I think it would be appropriate if one of the moderators would ban him.

Joeming0147 has my parts too. I asked him for pics to make him work a little. Actually sent me pics but the wrong part and easily found on the net. Time to block!

Here's a series of emails back and forth between me and Joe Ming over the last day. I have removed sensitive information about myself.

Joe, thank you very much. I am certainly interested. Just to confirm I'm in need of the driver's door window regulator for a '55 Nomad. I understand it is the same for the 2-door post car and 2-door wagon. Please give me a price and of course I'll pay the shipping. If the price is agreeable I'll send you a check. You can wait to ship the part until the check clears. Thanks again, James Wright *** ***-****

Just got your shipping address, But i will take payment through Money gram. You can go to any Money gram office close to you and make payment with the details i will send to you. I guess they one located in 4725 N Ocean Dr, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308, it's very easy that way and will make shipping out fast on time ..I want you to send payment to my son caregiver over there in Moscow, Russia and upon payment confirmation, i will ship out the next day through FedEx or Ups whichever you prefer.

i just wanted to use this opportunity to send the money to my son, I still have to send to another in Georgia. I can never ripe you off your money okay ..view attached ID (i am not a scam, don't tarnish my reputation okay)

Looking forward to hear from you pretty soon.

Joe, if you are legitimate you can ship me the part to the address I gave you. When I receive it I will send you payment. Even you response below does not sound legitimate to me. If you actually have the part send it to me. If not, I'll assume you're a scam artist and I will act accordingly. Better yet send the name and email addresses of 3 fellow VCCA members that can vouch for you. Otherwise have a good day.
