This was just listed in the classifieds. A $50 Judson in Las Vegas. The user is [email protected]. My brother replied to the ad and so did I from different addresses and we both got the same response within minutes. DO NOT SEND YOUR MONEY WESTERN UNION to this person. It must be a scam. Please post any other info on this deal. Many thanks.

Here is the email I was sent:

leroy rael
4736 splendid circle north
colorado springs colorado 80917

Purchesed a split window section from him on february 20th. Posted here on the samba. I was viewer #1 and emailed. We went back and forth and the deal was made. I sent him a money order within the hour.

That was the last contact i had with leroy AND my money.

Several attempts were made by me to contact him. by both email addresses and by phone. no response.

If someone knows him please have him contact me. I tried putting off posting here, but he leaves me no choice.

DO NOT deal with leroy rael!!!!!

Apparently you are not alone...

When something is worth about 20 times the advertised price that would be your first sign. Then when they say "Sara" in the ad and want you to send money to "Leroy", that's another sign.

yeah, hindsight is 20/20. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

However, you never know... that is why they call them 'scores'... like a month ago I 'scored' a polished berg locking shifter for $100 on e-bay. Sometimes people honestly don't know what things are worth.

It's the first time Ive been burned on the samba, so it is kind of dissappointing... oh, well. live and learn. Im 30 and I should have seen it coming.

I thought it was odd too.....that's why I called on "The JHC" I made a call to one of the executive members out of Vegas and was like.....what's the deal HOMIE...he was like, Leroy ain't got that shit for sale, when I hit up the e-mailer about it, I found out it was HIS EX ROOMATE, that was selling it from CO....and the Ex gave me their phone number up there too.....I ain't no dummy...

When it sounds like a Scam...call your local JHC!!!!
