Hi guys and gals.
I just saw an IVO prop on Craigslist. 60 inch, 3 blades, nice. Could maybe fit my 503. Being adjustable
is a nice feature. That makes it possible to load the engine correctly.

But I have never trusted Craigslist, so I was wondering if anyone could somehow check this guy out.
(as it seems to me there are so many from Florida here)
I sent an email and the answer I got is phrased suspiciously, I think. Slightly Nigerian phrasing and too slick
while not mentioning details. Well, after reading the email a few more times, I believe it's a scam.
I have decided to include the email:

Hi Erik,
I bought a powered parachute for the engine and prop for a Gyro build. I am currently working on a Gyro scratch build that I thought was near finished. I am in great error, and have much yet to do. So I must not start any new projects.
So, this prop for your gyrobee is a perfect match, and the gear box too. If you are building a Gyro with a 503 you must have a gear box as well. Also, if I understand you correctly, you are in a build of a gyrobee, you will want a pre rotator Assembly of which I also have if you are interested. I have a few other parts you may need.
I hope I answered your questions. I will be happy to help you with your needs.
Thanks for your interest
Jack

I wonder, why Craigslist hasn't made any way to verify if someone is legit. It seems wide open for criminals.
I can't find parts locally, so I have to use the 'net to find stuff - but it's dangerous out there.
Cheers
Erik
