Unfortunately the scammers have permanently changed the game. I never advertise that I'm looking for a part anymore, I now ask friends to see if they or anyone else they might know have "part X". Unless I know the person I have to get a reference from someone I do know. Failing that if the part is worth the expense I arrange to have someone pick it up in person that I know and trust. Times have changed and so have I.

How about we all come up with a fictitious part wanted (Muffler bearings) and post a wanted ad and see if the scumbag has one. Then we can decide who was the most creative on their fictitious part wanted. Gary

Gary,

I need a left hand threaded skyhook for my car ?  :)

Back in 1988 I sold my black Boss 429. I had a spare complete S engine air cleaner to oil pan including manifolds. Everything original like it was ready to drop in a car. I went looking for a body. Being in Detroit every B9 body in my "First class" Hemmings was sold a day or 2 before I got my copy. I found out NY, Los Angeles and Chicago areas got theirs before Detroit(so much for "first class") so I posted a want ad in Hemmings. Almost got scammed on a body for sale from an inmate in Baton Rouge La. Found out 6 months later when the FBI came knocking on my door(my phone number linked to prison records). The first the G man knew of that type of scam(they were using "we can get your relative out early" scam at the time). The scammer even had a real B9 vin he gave me. This was around 1989. I ended up selling the engine. So while the game has changed there are those POSs out there that don't want to make an honest living. I wish we could hang/shoot them all.

Scammer gets scammed.  This guy has a lot of energy and patience to reel them in and frustrate them.  The anger levels of the scammers is off the scale.

I am looking for a drive shaft for my 67 GT500. I received a response from a Shasta Philipe, I ask for pictures. I got pictures from a drive shaft on listed on ebay Same picture as on ebay but for less money. I asked what state he was in ? never heard back from him.

Back many years ago during my career as a Ford dealer parts manager,
we used to have our driver stop at other Detroit area dealers and they would have a list of parts needed that day,
they would have that dealer check to see if they had any of the parts on-hand.
(This was before the "part locator" services used now).

We would add fictitious part numbers like C9ZZ-6321609-A to the list to see if the dealer would catch it!
( C9ZZ-6321609-A = LH vent window frame for 69 Mustang fastback).

I see a new revenue stream possibility on flea-bay ??
