Scam email?

[Pope]

Just curious if anyone else received an email from a Jimmy Worthman that says the following. I'm assuming it's some kind of scam.

Good day,

I’ve decided to sell some maverick truck parts because of a health-related situation.
Please reach out if you’d like the full list.

Thank you.

Ok, Jimmy Worthman, if you are out there, check in!!! If I did not need any Mav parts, I would not answer. Probably would not open it anyway...............

AI:
Based on recent user reports, there is a high prevalence of scammers claiming to sell Ford Maverick parts using similar narratives (e.g., health issues, parting out trucks). Be extremely cautious: only buy in person, avoid Zelle/CashApp, and do not fall for "free shipping" scams.

Best advice when you get something from someone you don't know is ignore it. .
At best it's spam

The MTC doesn't provide email access to anyone to directly contact you, so if you get an email from someone addressed to you, rather than just a notification from the MTC website, it likely doesn't have anything to do with the MTC.

I know Jimmy personally (although he insists on being called James). He is a genuine Prince from Nigeria who is responsible for administering a Trust Fund of $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000...

Obviously, I wasn't suggesting that MTC was providing email addresses to this scammer. I posted this on MTC because it's members are Maverick owners and I was curious if any of them received this email.

Okay then.. Thanks for the heads up.

It's encouraging that MTC wasn't involved, but did everyone know that?
It actually wasn't obvious, as you didn't say how you got what you got.

It does make one (at least me) wonder how (if?) they knew you had a Mav or was it just a fishing trawler expedition....

Just for fun, I looked for any evidence of "Little Jimmies" dubious activities, and he/she/it apparently has successfully scammed some unsuspecting people:

"Jimmie Worthman is associated with multiple scam emails, often claiming to sell items like kayaks or bikes due to health issues. " So he is apparently not only scum, but scum that can't manage to even change its story.

I know that guy also! Told me he is ready to deposit that money into MY account! Sweet! Sorry Joe, but he likes me better, although I would be glad to give you a million or two... I'm just a nice guy! Now if I can just locate my account numbers for "James"....
