Possible Scammer
Posted: Wed Mar 04, 2020 9:31 pm
I received an email from someone by the "name" of Gary Cork asking about an item I have for sale. Here is his email address as received by me:
"Gary Cork (405) 544-0859" <garyc4621@gmail.com>
He stated: How are you doing, just wanna know if you still have it for sale? if yes send me email with your direct mail Thank you
I answered him, and I then received an email from: "Gary Cock <garyc4621@gmail.com>". Yes, that's how he spelled his last name. This message:
Hello,
What is the condition? Are you firm on the price? Willing to pay your asking price but I'm more concerned about the condition since I'm not a local buyer.I do hope the condition is as you have stated and the item is exactly as shown in the pictures?
NOTE: This is the exact format I received from a spammer last summer.
I emailed him back telling him I received similar emails from a spammer last year and then I asked him for his call sign. Nothing heard after that.
Tread lightly!
