Thanks for bringing this to our attention. AJL719 and I spoke about this and did our own research . It took minutes for us to arrive at a conclusion.I had a new member try to scam me. I have found multiple examples on other forums where he has scammed people using this email

Slow down. It isn’t that we didn’t believe you. We simply take a permanent ban of a member as a very serious thing. We need to be 100% certain that we are doing the right thing.I did my research just like you all did and in minutes knew he was a scammer. It almost sounds like you didn’t believe me and were accusing me of jumping the gun. He emailed me pictures of parts I wanted by finding pictures of them online. I never even got to the pay me part of the conversation.
step 1 was see how long he had been a member of this forum … answer.. 1 day
step 2 Google his email address, bam… scammer alerts from forums for all kinds of stuff not motorcycle related
step 3 he didn’t want to converse on the forums but take it offline to email
not rocket science.
It has nothing to do with not believing you. We need to know all the facts before we act. We can’t simply jump the gun and remove possible scammers based on a he said she said type of deal. Or act on pure gut instinct. Like you, we need to dig a little deeper into someone before it can be dealt with accordingly. And sometimes this process takes a little longer than others before it is.I did my research just like you all did and in minutes knew he was a scammer.

Being a new guy mysef on this forum I was taken back by the tone of AJL719 tone. I have reread it several times and I have concluded this forum is not for me if the admin has no better social skills than this. In this day and age a little nice goes a long way. And kudos to the gent that brought this forward.Slow down. It isn’t that we didn’t believe you. We simply take a permanent ban of a member as a very serious thing.

AJL719 is the administrator of this site. He does not need my approval to do any bans, yet he and I confer with each other to make sure we are both on the same page. That is how seriously we take it.
Dude, it’s only words, I can see both points of view on this, I’m glad thetemples brought it up, I’ve been screwed on internet transactions, the admins could of handled it with personal messages but in any case it was resolved..don’t leave the group over “feelings”..Being a new guy mysef on this forum I was taken back by the tone of AJL719 tone.
