Hot Rods Nice try on a scam.....

Been looking at a 46 woody online, add said it was local to me, sent an email said I wanted to look at it and received this reply.....HaHa....who talks like this? No one I hang with......I never even heard of this kind of third party sale. Nice try though....I'd be mad on the situation too......
Hello Mike,

Would you like to see more pictures?
The reason why I'm selling it is a divorced settlement. I must share everything with my ex. I am very mad on this situation but I don't have any options. Priced for a quick sale. Because my time is very important and and I'm dedicated to my career a third party company is the best choice for us. They will protect both of us in this transaction. I know it's been advertised in a few areas but the car is in Spokane, WA ready to go. I arranged for the sale before I left the country so my presence won't be necessary. They are supervising the entire sale process from payment, shipping with a inspection period (7 days), title(clear) transfer service or/and (if needed) returns and refunding. As for the payment we can start a transaction through the shipping company where I'm already registered. You will have to register too on their website, then you have to contact me to start the transaction. If you are serious about buying the car, I will ship it anywhere with no extra cost(I will use a coupon for that).
If you want to move forward please contact me back so we can get the ball rolling. Don't let this beauty go away !!

 

Report to Ryan

 

We were at Los Banos show a few years back, some young guy (21 or so) had a real nice (but 'weathered') '29 roadster pickup. Jag rear, lots of greening chrome...I recognized the car.
The kid said he had bought it under strange circumstances:
Older guy said to come over and see it at night, after midnight. Car was in San Jose, so the kid and his Dad went to look. The seller turned on the garage light, brought them in the side door, guy was wearing an Ivy League (golfer's) cap, pulled way down, and a pair of shades! He said he had the pink slip, the car ran. Cash only, quick sale. When? Now!
The kid and his Dad went back home, got the cash (and a 9mm pistol) and returned.
Seller had the key, started the roadster, and while it idled signed the pink. Showed them his calif drivers license, took the cash. ($6K! Cheap for this car!)
They drove it away, turned the corner, and loaded it onto the car trailer half a mile away...
There had been a divorce, and papers weren't signed...Risky business. Never heard any more...Think it was $6K, but could have been less. Long time ago.

 

It wasn't on here.....

 

Forget the woodie, I want one of those free car shipping coupons.

 

Spokane! Hell that's where I am! I'll just go get it for ya!

 

I'd like to meet the people who would fall for that.

 

Just drop by Walmart after 11PM

 

There's plenty or you would not see these all the time.

 

Surprised he didn’t mention he was out of the country in Nigeria [emoji23]


Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

 

He did say 'out of the country'...

 

Spoken like Nigerian royalty...

 

Eye yi yi!

 

I bet he can fix your computer for you to if you ask him, or sell you some lottery tickets from some African country, or................

 

me think you buy car, love it long time.

 

The wierd thing is he used the name /email of "Trevor C. Walker". The add stated the car was in Orange, a city a few miles away. I Zaba searched the name and there is a guy who lives in Orange with that name. Also, in one reply, he said the car has never been in a flood? We haven't had a flood in SoCal since the '30's.
This had scam all over it.....I'll find the site it was on....found it......Trovit.com or Hot Classic Deals....That just sounds greasy....

 

Now if it was a REAL Nigerian princess, you may just get a woody.... Otherwise, this stinks like yesterday's Limburger...

 

I just inquired about a 1934 Woody for 15k. I'm using an old email I rarely use. See
If he uses the same M.O.....

 

I wouldn't say it is a "new" try as the priced too good to be true vehicles show up quite often and they usually aren't the ''getting rid of it for cash so the soon to be Ex doesn't get half" deals although I have hear of a few of those.
I sent a reply back to one a while back telling them that I could fly out the next day and pick the car up and got an answer back that it had to be shipped and wasn't available for local pickup.

 

"Silly American Hot Rod man. I will OWN you! hehehe..."

 

bwahahahahaahahah fred good one

 

Just heard back from my interest in a 34 woody for 15K. Here's what he wrote.....
Hello,

The car is still for sale at $15,000. Mileage is 5,035.
The car is being sold as described, no mechanical issues, clear title. Car is a strong runner and a daily driver. This beautiful example has been meticulously maintained, covered and garaged in a climate controlled environment. I am working overseas with Chesapeake Energy and my contract ends in July 2018.
If you want to find out more details about how we can close up this deal contact me.

I replied " Where is the car located. This is good timing because I just received a large inheritance."

 

We are going to have to call you Irish Mike the Meany

 

Coupons for shipping? Did he get them in one of those weekly classified shopper papers? From your last post, it sounds like you plan to mess with him some. This could be entertaining.

 

Just having fun P&B......

 

That reminds me.........
I have to pick up my mail order bride at the bus station in the morning.

 

I had mine shipped by UPS and my neighbor stole her off the porch. He hasn't spoken to me since.

 

LMAO, That'll teach him.

 

Ask him if he can mail it...

 

AHAHAHAHAHA, I seen the same type of deal a few years ago when I was looking for a '35/'36 pickup. Found one in Florida for cheap, I emailed, the car was really in Washington state and a shipping company would deal with the transaction (and shipping of course) because he was out of the country. Sent a few more emails, to bait....then when I said "great!, I have a cousin in that area to look at it for me" the emails stopped .

It was on oodle or Claz or something like that.
