SAAC-49 / SAAC-49 Hotel Info
« on: March 04, 2024, 10:02:10 PM »
Many have requested info about hotel(s) for SAAC-49.

Things are a little different this year. First, there is no single hotel in the area large enough for us.
Thus, we have contracted with several hotels for Convention rates.

Hotel contact information and the Shelby Convention hotel discount codes will be emailed to you upon your completed registration.
Be sure to use the discount code for significant savings on the cost of the hotel(s).

SAAC Forum Discussion Area / SCAM ALERT - Notice for ALL members
« on: August 22, 2023, 01:01:55 PM »
SCAM ALERT - Notice for ALL members

We have been aware of a particular SCAM that has been prevalent on enthusiast forums and Facebook groups,
mostly in areas for enthusiasts with requests for "Wanted to Buy."

I've recently been made aware of these potential SCAMS occurring on our forum several times in the past few weeks.

The way this game works is ---> a poster is contacted about his request for parts, usually through a private message,
and is told to contact another individual who is "known" to have the parts that are wanted.

This friendly "referral" by a "good samaritan" is meant to add credibility to the advice.

The message may look like this" "I recently purchased some items from XXXXX , he's willing to sell..."


The SCAMMER will then give the email of the contact who supposedly has the parts in question.

Also, look for obvious grammar and spelling errors in the message as an additional red flag


NOTE - it appears that the referred email ALWAYS has the format--->a generic first+last name + 3 or 4 digits@gmail.com

We have seen the referred name to be a stranger... OR even the name of another forum member, but with the bogus email address.

This is not a new SCAM, but one that is relatively new to our Forum

BE smart, BE alert

"Trust, but verify"
ALWAYS verify the seller and the actual existence of the parts.
Use Facetime or Video Chat to validate the items
Ask for a "hostage" photo that shows the item and indicates the current date.

Remember, emails with a format "first+last name + 3 or 4 digits@gmail.com" can be a burner, free, throwaway email addresses

and... always report ANY suspicious activity to us!

Currently, all club members have access to the quarterly issues on the Members Only site.
The archive has each volume packaged with special page turning software that allows you to flip through the pages online.
You also have the ability to download the issue as a PDF and read it offline.

The page-turning software is a complex and expensive feature; we'd like to evaluate its importance for the new version of the website.

How do you access the issues? Let us know...

Do you use the page reader online? ...or do you download the file?

Thanks
Ron

SAAC Forum Discussion Area / SAAC Sweepstakes - Homestretch
« on: November 20, 2022, 05:37:58 PM »
It’s Thanksgiving week and we’re just two weeks away from the close of our sweepstakes.

Here at SAAC HQ, we’ve got a lot to be thankful for, most of all our passionate community of Shelby enthusiasts. As a way of saying thank you, we’ve got some sweepstakes news to share:

We’ve lowered the minimum needed to award the car to a winner. We desperately want to hand the keys of this incredible car to a fellow enthusiast and watch them burnout into the sunset.

For these last few days, we’re offering a special 35% bonus ticket offer to our loyal enthusiast community. This is the highest bonus we’ve ever offered.


One more thing, enjoy this short video from SAAC’s very own Melissa…Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
