I CALLED THE PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE BANK AND SPOKE TO THE HEAD CASHIER ASKING IF THE CHECK WAS OK......NOWAY ,, IT IS DEFINATELY A FORGERY , THE NAME OF THE REMITTER WAS BRYAN JONES....... THE GUY EVEN HAD THE BALLS TO CALL ME AND ASK IF I HAD RECEIVED HIS CHECK AND WOULD I SEND THE BALANCE OF THE MONEY OVER THE $5750 TO HIS SHIPPER TO COVER THE COST OF ANOTHER PLANE HE HAD BOUGHT AND THE SHIPPING CHARGES............HE MUST THINK EVERYBODY IN AMERICA IS STUPID....I FORWARDED THE CHECK TO THE FBI AND I HOPE THEY CAN DO SOMETHING........I POSTED THIS INFO TO LET THE MODEL WORLD KNOW THAT SOMEONE IS TARGETING YOU , BE AWARE...........................MALCOLM KAY

The infamous 4-1-9 scam, if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is. Didn't know they would target the Hobby industry, but they must be getting desperate?

I have had two of these retards mail me today wanting my Stingray. How is it that these guys are banned from the market place, but still able to do their dirty work? I would at least delete their accounts, sure they can make a new account, but at least we are making an inconvenience to them. I guess I am not sure how the banning process works. Loved your post Ghostrider, I am usually not that nice when I reply to them.
