Anyone know this bloke?

Post by jack neville » Tue Mar 03, 2015 11:43 pm

my son Jake put a request on another forum (MLU) for a fuel tank for a Dodge WC 54 Ambulance. He received a private email from a Timothy Lee Brown who gave an address of 227 Vine Circle, Loretto, Tennessee USA. HIs email is timothyautoshop@gmail.com

Jake did a Google earth search on the address and it is vacant block. Querying this he was given another address of 127 Main St, Loretto. Phone # 260 227 3463

Payment will only be received by Western Union.

Jake is not confident this is a genuine offer and we are requesting assistance from anyone who can vouch for this bloke or even is there anyone close to Loretto that could check out the parts. He claims he is a "member of the local Loretto parts dismantled/mechanic", whatever that means. Loretto doesn't appear to be a very big town.

Anyone able to assist?

Jake requested more photos and got photos of what appeared to be different tank. He asked the bloke to send a photo with Jakes name and the date on it. Didn't get one.

Seems no one on this Forum can vouch for him either.

The Western Union payment method only probably rings alarm bells.

Be careful.

It's not actually vacant according to Zillow, and Google Earth shows a 1,000 sq foot dwelling.
(Mapquest shows it on the north side of the loop not the south side though, so that may be the back.

To your point though, getting further proof would be prudent. Seems a bit questionable.
