Scam Alert be careful - Page 2

I manage CR and my motorcycle related forums the same way. Only deal with those that I recognize their names or have solid history of posts. On occasion I’ve had dealings with newbies but only after a long conversation over the phone to gauge their sincerity. Last week I bought a motorcycle and each of us drove 400 miles to exchange cash for the bike and no deposit was offered or requested. Guy had like 3000 posts on a forum plus we had a long conversation to make sure no ghosting or scamming was involved. Also, I never put my phone number on ads, not even with alpha numbers, the scum can run scripts to defeat that. Love dealing with solid folks and HATE scammers/thieves.
