"Heads" Up for an internet scammer fishing through our wanted ads
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that someone posing as coming though the airhead mail relay is a scammer. "Godwill Fred" responded to my wanted ad for a pre-1970 /2 or R69 and has generously offered to sell me his R69S for $10K - unfortunately the genuine article sold on Bring-A-Trailer a few weeks ago for $25K (same picture). Anyway, wanted to give all heads up - Godwill Fred is not his brother's keeper!
Thanks for the "heads up" !
Owning an old Airhead is easy.
Keeping an old Airhead running great is the true test.
I recently posted a want ad for a top box with brackets and got a response from this "gent". Not suspecting a scam I responded. After one email and a request for additional details it was crickets. Same m/o asking for my exact address. I became suspicious and did not reply. Suspicions confirmed. He even signed 'God bless'. No shame.
