Re: ATTENTION: Report scammers here!
Has anyone bought from (Rathbone Willie) on fb? he seem like he as a scammer but it appear he has a lot of desirable parts. i know i tried to buy a engine from him and when i said i will drive to pick up he changed mind on selling.

Re: ATTENTION: Report scammers here!
I have not, but that's a huge red flag to me. If I am selling anything that doesn't easily fit in a flat rate box and a buyer wants to pick up I'm happy to have them do so. And an engine... I'd probably buy you a coffee if you came to collect and I wasn't dealing with strapping it to a pallet and freight shipping.

Re: ATTENTION: Report scammers here!
I have been directly contacted by email:
“Hi buddy
I have a complete frame for sale in good shape if you are still looking to buy
Kindly text me at (669) 270-0912 or return me a mail here
for details and pricing
Best regards
Gareth”
When I followed up he sent me pics of a windshield that I found had been previously sold in CA back in 2012 (thanks Google image search)
His 2nd email:
“Hi buddy
Thanks for writing and sorry for the delayed response
I am Selling an original inner and outer windshield frame from a 42 GPW . Its in Very nice shape with only 2 spots of rust in the inner frame that I could find. The outer frame is in great shape, the skin has some wrinkles and a hole, ( maybe bullet hole?? ) but could be fixed pretty easy in my opinion(i could have that done once payment is made if thats fine with you) . There are no welds that I could see.
Pictures sent as attachment below (thats all I’ve got on my desktop Not having any luck taking a picture with my iPhone)
Asking $750 delivered tracked to your door via Paypal FF/Zelle/Venmo
Kindly send me your complete shipping address and preferred payment method if thats fine with you
I’m located in Bakersfield California and Will ship as soon as payment is made
Best regards”

Tried to scam me with a filterette.
Pretty sure pictures came from the G. with the comment "(thats all I’ve got on my desktop)"
Beware!
Telling that his g503 user name is "Hedge Hound". Brand new member, no posts.
This Garth guy is pushing himself off as STIGY who has been a member here since 2004. I don't think this is STIGY. Trying to figure it all out now.

Re: ATTENTION: Report scammers here!
Hello Everyone!
The real STIGY here. Thanks for the heads up. I assure you that I am not that person. I have been in this hobby for over 30 plus years and have traded "horses" the old fashion way. My reputation here in the hobby speaks for itself. Whoever the imposter is that is using my name is def not me.
I always encourage people to contact me direct and will continue to do that.
Thank you
