Warning Scammers! More Morlocks.

Post by Fozz71 » Fri Mar 27, 2026 8:50 am

Had a guy contact me here on the forum (see below) and led me to a scammer who had nice pics and was very convincing. Be warned and wary!

Here is the scammer #1 text and the email of the #2 scammer.:

Yep, and to the right of your post you give them your name and location so now they can really track you down, rob your house, molest your family, maybe steal all those cars that you show. Trust me, I Googled a random poster's name once and was able to take a street view of his house, so clear I could see inside his open front door through the storm door. Why do we do this? Personally I think it's totally unnecessary and been harping on it for months to deaf ears.

I personally like the fact that we list our names and locations. I have no intention of driving to the west coast for parts but I have driven to the east coast, and several southern and western states. I have made friends because other forum members gave their names and locations and I was able to contact them when I was in their neighborhood. While I no longer show my location as “mostly in Dearborn”, my profile now says what corner of Michigan is mine.

As to someone stealing my cars? Let my insurance man lose sleep; I won’t. Channel 7 Action News had a field day with the video of the guy stealing my empty car hauler. That guy went on to commit armed robbery as his next offense and will probably be locked up for a long time.

If it was my front door that you Googled, I hope you got a clear view of the coffee table I made from a cracked cylinder block.
