I got an email from someone named Jeffy with no posts here, telling me that someone named Nicholas Henry had the Star tom arm I wanted. I went along with it and we exchanged several emails, but it started sounding fishy, and I just emailed him back telling him I'd changed my mind. I have a feeling he's not in the USA by the way he writes his sentences.

Guys, don't be taken in by these scumbags.

Admins, please block the scammers!

Here's the email I got from "Jeffy."

hello are you still interested in getting this?.
you can contact Nicholas he has a Vintage Star Tom Holder for sale........... PM him @ nicholashenry283@gmail.com

Hi, Tommy!
I think someone may have tried to scam me again! Since I solely am lacking in computer skills, I didn't know how to forward the message in my inbox to you. It was written by a Thomp97. When I tried to find some info on him, nothing could be learned. Please feel free to go to my inbox, under"14 inch, 8 lug die cast snare side rim." Something is definitely fishy with this message. Thanks, sir!
Brian
