I received emails from the same two addresses regarding my wanted post for a '68 Mercury power window switch. I immediately realized they are scams by their "referral" language, which has been discussed here.

Hello,
Is there some way you guys (administrators) can control this?

There should be a forum admin setting where a user has to have a certain number of posts on the forum before being able to send PM's.

too bad we do not tell of bad restorations shops also, at least if you pay with a CC you can fight the charges.

Those are not members to be removed... they are the "referrals" that the scammer suggests you contact.

THe simple but NOT PERFECT solution is to ignore those you do not know or others do not know. I'd like to think SAAC is a tight knit community and even tighter among the years we own. I have now been contacted by several scammers on the parts I need. I just delete their message and on every case when I saw it the account was already dealt with by our Moderator. THANKS.
