SCAMMER ON Packard Info

Hi,
Wanted to alert everyone to a scammer on the website. The ID name of this person is Saddj. He is a new user...just joined up at Christmas. Even with this scammer ID'd, these clowns will simply just get a new username and try to scam again. Just be careful as scammers are out there.
Here is what happened:
I posted a couple weeks ago about needing a set of window wings for a 1930 Packard Roadster 7-40. I got a reply from this Saddj character that a man by the name of Sam has a set of these in good condition ready to sell. I noticed that Saddj's location was in the UK (my first point of suspicion). He included an email for Sam at bornicesam@gmail.com. So I emailed Sam asking for some pictures of the wings. He sent me one picture of an old window wing and immediately asked for an address to send and payment info from me. I asked him for more photos of the wings which he was not able to provide because he "did not have them". Here is the best...he said he wants $90...yes, read that right, ninety bucks for the set of wings, but that I needed to send a paypal payment to his wife's address and send it only as "friends and family". For those of you that don't know, when you send a payment via paypal as "friends and family", you lose any/all fraud protection/coverage from paypal. make sure when you do send "friends and family" that you have an agreement and actually know that person well.
Obviously, this is all a scam. Nobody is selling a set of window wings that are in good shape for a 1930 Roadster for 90 bucks.
So, be on the lookout for these scam artist scumbags. If it doesn't look right, it usually isn't. I know right away that this was likely a bunch of BS.
Not sure who we need to talk to, but this Saddj clown should be removed from the site.
