Welcome to the Pierce-Arrow Society › Forums › General › The most amusing SCAM I have seen
After advertising for a 1933 Pierce-Arrow headlight switch on the AACA forum, I received an email from RayMax@gmail.com, stating he has ‘1933 Pierce-Arrow parts, “email me for more details”. I replied “please describe in detail what you have, pictures are helpful.” He replied:
“Here is the attached picture of my 1933 Pierce-Arrow. I²m
breaking this car for parts because of my health problem as I need to sell the car
on time to raise funds to take care of my health problems.I want you
to send me the list of parts that you are after , so that I can give
you prices for them .
I will also need your exact delivery address to allow me know if the
delivery will be practical to your door step .
My Regards .” [no name]
THE PICTURE of the car he was “breaking up” WAS OF A 1933 PIERCE SILVER ARROW (1 of 3 in the world) !!!
I googled his email, and it turned up in a Russian dating service under “carautonews.xyz”
Caveat emptor.
