It was a reply to my Wanted ad.
My ad is 100% on the up and up, it is the respondent who is sketchy!

Here’s the text of the scam attempt: jsuth sent you the following message: Hi, Email Bob on bobankerfam@gmail.com regarding your request . He gave me a great deal when i purchased from him. He is located in Cambridge Ohio 43725,USA fast shipping.You can also text him or call on 740-238-5366 Thanks |
I have to say that doesn't look like a scam at all you have the guys email address and phone number and he's in the US presumably a dealer for whatever you're looking to buy. I don't see any request for a bank transfer, and what did you mean by someone else's pics? Is there more that we are not seeing there? |
Well I wrote "Bob" a cryptic note and in one minute I got this back with two pics I recognized from Lenco Heaven of a TT owned by a guy in Europe named Marc. ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: Re: Turntable From: "Bob Anker" <bobankerfam@gmail.com> Date: Fri, September 9, 2016 17:20 To: "Joe Roberts" <j> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, Yes i have a Perpetuum Ebner PE-33 for sale.
