Yea these have been going around for a while... good catch though, hopefully this guy will get pwned by law enforcement
Yeah, whenever someone tries to buy something off you for double the price, somethings not right. Just glad you did not fall for it.
I would hate to see someone get taken advantage of through a stupid scam. If it is to good to be true, it usually is.
+1 for nigerians. The type of people that fall for that are the type that would fall for this: People are tardz
If anyone falls for that old scam, they deserve it for sheer stupidity. How could someone believe that is legit?
yeah, thats why i quit putting up stuff for sale on this site's classifieds. Everytime i do, i get some fugger with broken english wanting to buy my crap.
thanks for the heads up man! this guy's has been trying to buy my 4.10 gears. How can we bust this guy? hes been on me for weeks
DAMMM I really thought that guy was going to give me 2.2 million for my 8.8 31 spline diff that I was trying to sell. Guess i am going to have to cancel my gt-500 order now.. BTW I checked all my credit cards with that card checker thing, it says they are all fine
I'm very curious if this guy even going to post in the classifieds any more. I hope not. I'm not done with this SOB yet. You have to becareful who you try to scam. I spoke with guy last night who bought my Bullitt wheels and that same JackA$$ guy tried to scam him to.
