I received the following email after I posted amessage asking about needing JD 246 planter parts:

The following message is being sent to you from [email protected] (Mary) via the Yesterday's Tractor Co. website. It is in response to the discussion forum message titled : "John Deere 246 planter parts" posted on the Ttalk Forum
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Mary
Phone:
Location: St. Marys Oh
Message: I have the disc openers 25.00 each.I can send pictures if you are interested
-
I am fairly certain that it is either a scam or a virus carrier when I respond. Has anyone else had this happen?
 
You won't be scammed until you send money. Did Mary send pics. ph# on request, did you talk to her on phone. Take charge of the situation my friend. It sounds lagit to me and the price is not outragious. proceed with comon sense, as most people here are good folks.
 
Probably OK, but if I was Mary and was called a scammer before I was even contacted, those openers would cost you at least $50.00 each now.
 
Don't know her but as a tip most scam emails are vagely or poorly worded in the subject. Also cut copy paSted etc EXP: "John Deere 246 planter parts" posted on the Ttalk Forum nnalert GOOD MOST PARTS!!!
 
If you are worried about virus' just open up a yahoo mail account and forward suspect emails there. Then it will scan them before opening them.

I have bought from Mary in St Mary's OH.

I respond to most everything if it looks even close to legitimate. If It starts not looking good I stop.
 
I have never had a problem with any messages sent as a reply to a topic on here. Only real good scams I have seen from here were when I placed a "wanted to buy" add, then I would get alot of emails say'n "I have just what you are looking for" just send a money order to a po box in NYC.
