Was just alerted by one of our members that there may be a scammer on the list.

He was looking for a part, a ELT and was contacted by someone saying that they were overseas. They wanted payment by Western Union, a known method of payment for scammers.

As well not sure that they even used American style of ELT, so until I hear more or someone that knows this person feel that we need to be careful and keep our eyes open. If it is a valid seller then sorry but right now there are far too many scammers (usually Nigerian) around the world trying to get our money.

As a former victim of scamming I warn all buyers to NEVER PAY ANYONE by Western Union. This method has scam written all over it and one burned you become scorned forever. So Please all viewers never accept payment or offers via Western Union. Postal Money orders are ok but also be cautious. When in doubt just walk away....

So I should never do business with Aircraft Spruce or Univair or Joe A or indeed 99.9% of the people on here..? :shock:

Take sensible precautions to avoid being scammed, for sure; but the statement quoted is somewhat silly, to say the least.

Rich,
All of you boys on the Island can buy any of my parts.

I only accept Nigerian money orders.

Sounds like a job for Ebola Monkey Man. Google that if you want some seriously r-rated laughs. :wink:

I stand by my statement about overseas purchases. For one US law does not provide protection under fraud/deception practices that a purchase overseas could (and in my case has occured).

Sorry for offending you over there in England (or the UK) but Americans have the right to protected our self interests and E.U. law with not provide that protection at all.

Rich,

We can work out a deal where we trade parts for Twiglets and Lemon Curd! :)

Got addicted to those two items from the British NAAFI when I was based in Berlin!
