Re: Scam alert

[Joey <jake4@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, you have to be vigilant, there was scam out of Canada last year 
concerning Max Wedge parts and early B-bodies, one of my good friends almost 
got caught up in it, a funny thing the guy selling the stuff wanted the 
money now and when we offered to come and pick the stuff up he wouldn't 
return our calls. The point is that these scumbags are everywhere, we have 
to be extremely careful, I hate to see anyone get taken
