SCAM!

most WTB ads placed on that site result in these types of email solicitations. You can be seeking the rarest, most obscure part in the world, and someone will offer it up to you within 24 hours....Western Union of course.

Western Union equals-Scam,Western union is only good to use to send money to loved ones or friends not Strangers.

Without a question... SCAM! I'd post pictures, maybe even a video for my potential client! Stay away!

There is a guy in Cameroon who has every pinball part in the world.
He had a banana cab for BW 100 and sent me a pic of it off of IPDB.
He also had a set of HS bumper caps, not only did he have these he had the rare spinning prototypes I asked about.
That's Mr. Pinball, usually the first few emails are from these scammers.
There must be a great educational system over there, they are all doctors, bankers and barristers.
A lot of widows also, all their husbands have been killed in coups and I am the only one they can trust with their millions.

Agreed.

Tell him trust works both ways. Send you the items and then you'll be glad to Western Union the money. Watch the smoke trail he leaves........

What is the scammer's name so other forum members can be aware?

SCAM!!

I've recv'd scam emails in reply to a WTB ad I placed previously on Mr Pinball website. It is amazing (amusing) how they have these hard-to-find parts, but use goofy sentence structure, and often have odd names and/or email addresses.

What you have experienced is common. I would guess this happens to 100% of the WTB postings. I got several responses to my ads within the first week and of course they were all scams.

I have used Mr pinball in previous years and not had as many scammers. Must be getting desperate.

This is the guy from Cameroon, been sending me these since he was Ngwa Paul.
He used the Nchitu Glory name the last time.
Must be making some money or he wouldn't keep doing it.
Nobody legit uses Western Union.

Uses translator services to try to scam non-english readers.

Hi guys, thanks for sharing this info. Today I got an email from this person claiming to have parts for sale. I blocked him.

Sad part is he must be making money scamming or wouldn’t be doing it 6 years later.

Remarkable indeed. He used this address: [email protected]

Awww man. I just got an email from him today...thought I was finally getting a part I had been looking for.

ambe elvis <[email protected]> SCAMMER!

Yep, Looking for a back glass for a Williams 1961 Double Barrel and sure enough, for $210 this cat will send it to me....hmmm, glad I turned to Pinside before sending any money. When I asked for photo's and if I could pay by paypal, he dropped off the earth.
