Hot Rods BEWARE- Innovative New Scam

had a call from a friend, guy called him & said he had met him a few months ago and my friend told him if he ever found any old cars to call. my bud said "not me, probably was my friend Mike". so guy calls me, we talk a bit, I ask "where did we meet?" he says " it was a few months ago, probably at a sale or a show, your buddy is the one with the VW van for sale right?" I said "yeah, that's him" (now he's built in some credibility). said he lived in Harrisburg Pa., but he had a deep southern accent.

he tells me he's down in Texas with his truck and has found some old cars. "what did you find" I ask. he says he met this old lady with cars, first one is a 68 Charger, Hemi/4/spd. I said "probably too much for me". "$6500" he says (red flag). I said "I don't have that kinda cash". "well how about this. 1932 Ford 3 window coupe, running, driving, $1500"(bigger red flag). "i'll take it. How much to get it to Canonsburg?" "about $700, can deliver on my way back home" he says. I said " i'll have $2200 waiting for you"
he said he had to ****on up the money and was waiting for the women to find the ***les. never asked for any money so I thought "maybe this IS my lucky day".

late that night he called back, said he had all the money but $285. "Could I wire it to him in the morning?" I said I was babysitting and didn't know if I could get away. he said he'd call again in the morning. he did. I said "tell the lady to have her Sheriff or police chief call my friend, the local Police Chief, to vouch for me, and I'd send the money when I got the car." he said "ok". never asked for the number or ever called back.

my friend had an ad in Hemmings, selling his VW. so all of you selling cars there - BE AWARE! Dave Dole (alias?) is trolling for ****ers.

 

Hard to believe anyone would fall for that, but I guess there's one born every minute.

 

people really just need to learn how to hang up the phone after it rings and you do not know the person on the other end. when my phone rings people get about 5 seconds to talk, if I don't know them I hang up.

 

Thanks for the heads-up. There are no limits to which a scammer will go to in an effort to get your hard earned money.

 

I agree. I NEVER answer a number that I don't recognize. I'm getting a little more reclusive as I get older. Privacy and quiet times are getting harder to come by.

 

Now if he said he was a Nigerian princess who "wanted yor hands in marrige", you know it would be legit.

 

Sure wish all these ***holes would get a real job and quit trying to screw us all the time.

 

When one of these ***holes calls me, I would like to have a ****on I could push that would fry his phone onto the side of his face so hard you could smell the bacon frying all the way from Nigeria

 

Well, never in my life did I live with a loaded gun until I ran an ad on E Bay. People are always trying to scam you even E Bay.

What a *****, princess my ***. She wanted to marry me and 1/2 of my buddies. That was bad enough!!! Now she is contacting you too. Wait till she gets here, I'm going to have a few things to say. How far is Nigeria anyway? I sent her a ticket in the summer, well summer of 13 actually.

 

Thanks for the heads up, these people really ****, and in my opinion are in great need of an *** beating !!!!

 

You were talking to Jimmie Joe Billie Bob Traveravis Rashawnie who lives down the road from me. I bought the cars from her and they are in my drive way. Do not beat me up its a joke but I am glad you p***ed on the info.. Bobby

 

When I know it is scam I actually enjoy ****ing with thier heads a little I will tell come right over the freezer is empty.

 

Now that's funny. I'll use that empty freezer bit for all the telemarketer/political survey/scammer types that call during dinner...

 

I have to say their creativity just astounds me...,make it sound so convincing....it amazes me!!!!

 

Some scam call answers...

No, this is a pay phone. I'm walking my dog and just answered it for fun.

Can I have your home ph number and call you later? No? So you can call me at home but I can't call you? What a **** (or the dreaded "c" word).

No, I'm not interested but call (someone you want to give some payback).

Is this the 911 operator? GET OFF MY PHONE, MY (insert person) IS ****IN DYING ***HOLE!! and hang up.

Just sayin...

 

My favourite - "Sorry, but I'm not allowed to talk to anyone but family on this phone"
"Why?" "Because I'm on home detention" "Really? what for?" "Well, you see, I murdered a telemarketer and made soup from his bones-" "Click"
