Saturday morning I put up an ad on the IML web page for a repro windshield that I am wanting to sell.  I have gotten a barrage of scam type e-mails.  I don't know if there is anything that can be done about it or not.

The best thing to  do is to educate oneself not to fall for these scams.  They happen  all the time *everywhere* on the internet.  I have received scam  emails related to eBay items, PayPal accounts, craigslist.org items, as  well as the IML classifieds.
  
  Sadly, it's a fact of online life.
  
  You'll notice that on the IML classifieds homepage there's a big, red link for "Warning about Cashier's Check & Wire Transfer
 Scams"  This scenario is exactly the reason it's there.
  
  The IML classifieds remain an excellent place for buyers and sellers to  connect to find good homes for Imperials and Imperial parts.  As  with ANY sales environment, both buyer and seller should be aware of  potential problems such as these scams.
  
  And for those of us who have been quite annoyed by these scams, there  are websites such as http://www.ebolamonkeyman.com/ that turn things  around on the scammers.
