Sounds, a little scammy to me. He's on the internet telling you how he needs you to help him evade TAXES AT TAX TIME????
we need you here making mods, not making lisence plate

 

I just sent this to Sal, but for the rest of you, here is the email that was sent to him WORD FOR WORD sent to another ebay bidder....

Yep, there's no denying that one. Well that sucks .

Thanks to all, that's why you guys are the best.

 

Well, let's still try to have a little fun. See if you can get that info from him.

 

Send in the TROOPS......

 

I had a similar thing just happen yesterday with my beater for sale on autotrader.com. Very bad English, their "client" was in TX and leaving to go overseas. They wanted to send me $4,850 for a $1,500 car via Western Union and for me to return the difference to them when they picked it up? And they wanted my address and phone # very badly in each email. I just dropped the whole contact after that. The whole thing made no sense!

 

Yeah -I've read that exact ad description before too. It's bogus for sure.


I recently had my E-bay account suspended because someone had hacked it -changed the e-mail address and listed a bunch of items for sale. E-bay notified me immediately, I sent one e-mail answering their questions and within a day they had everything reinstated.

They hacked my account because I had all positive feedback I assume.

 

As stated before...."Run like the wind". No way, no how should you deal with this guy. I would send him an email as stated and tell him you have a friend there who would like to drop by and negotiate the deal in your stead. I am also military and was stationed overseas and heard ALOT of scams run the same way over ebay. This sounds like one of them.

 

HOOAH!

 

Do a search using Webcrawler or another search engine, type in "Western Union Scam" and read the results. It is almost verbattim to what this guy is saying.

 

I know it's a scam now, but I sent him an e-mail anyway. I told him that there's no way I'm sending money for a car that I can't see overseas. If he wants to ship the car to the US for me to look at, in a situation where I could not take delivery unless he is paid, then I would buy the car. I suspect I will not hear back .

 

Don't trust em fer-ners...

What's the link for the auction? Is it still open?

 

We'll mister tuner it sounds perfectly legit to me.

all the other guys are worried you are buying a difrent kind of car and wont tune are trucks.

so to ease your mind send me all the money for the car and i will get it personaly

 

What kind of car was it?
