i got an email from Martin Greathouse yesterday offering me a Lionel 4 pack.
He asks to send money via moneygram.
After the money is sent he asks for money sent to him then to change it to his accountant.
It is in my opinion a scam, be very careful.
This scam popped up on a forum for arcade games as well.

Of course it's a SCAM! Money sent that way is the same as sticking cash in an envelope and mailing it off, when it's gone, it's gone! If I'm dealing with someone that I'm not 100% sure of, I always use PayPal and pay the 3% fee. It's money that I can take back if they don't deliver.
Want some fun? Ask him you only send USPS Money Orders. See if he will accept?
I asked him if he would do UPS COD. He said no of course
Michael Pierce died over a year ago. the dead don't make internet deals.
P e a r c e, yes I hear you. I just wanted to get these names out there so no one gets hurt.
I got one the yesterday from martin greathouse telling me he had a passenger car I was looking for . I asked him for pics and info on it , he replied back saying it was for a friend and he would pass my info along. I later googleed his name and the first thing that came up was about scams . they are also hitting car forums.
Got an email from the same guy offering me an item I've been looking for. Used a Store picture I've seen before of the item. Looks believable, but he uses two names. One as Martin A Greathouse of 1702 Chesterfield St. Garden City, KS 67846. But then he wants you to pay a Michael D Pearce of Augusta KS. Definitely a SCAM!!! Use a Walmart money order....NO WAY! Report him to FBI!!!! That's twice now people have used this forum to get to my money...lucky enough....I know of these scams and do research first.....BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!
He almost got me.
These people PREY on those who "REALLY" want something....BE CAREFUL FOLKS!!!!
