No, just an e-mail address that has already been cancelled. I turned copies of the check over to the bank it was drawn on and the postal inspector along with all of the emails he sent. Thanks for offering, though. His name was Tony David (phony, no doubt). But if anyone by that name tries to buy anything from you, check that sucker out.

a flag is the "Whats your Best Price" comment in most of the inquirey's, Best price? Come n look at the car and make an offer, otherwise its as listed- in good old US Green backs. Even I get hit now n again tho as I did just lately on here w a BBC intake buy from Mark Woodward/MAW out of Huntington Beach Cali. . I have the USPS working on it.

I sold my previous street rod in 2000. The buyer was from out of state and had 15K in cash so we went to my bank, and they called his bank to verify his line of credit so I could accept a check for the remainder. A person has to be so careful nowadays. I have a friend who will only accept cash when he sells a car. But I suppose someone could always use counterfeit 100 dollar bills, too. I don't know if I could tell the difference.
