vbrad511 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Email him back and tell him that you'll need to wait 15 business days for the check to clear before you release the title or the car. Or tell him to have his shipping people bring cash, and meet you at your bank for the transaction. You can step inside and make sure the bills are legit before you let him take the car.

Strickdawg Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Tell him you can only accept paypal, Cash, western union etc.. Tell him no checks or money orders. If you really think it is a scam, Give him the address for the local police department after you speak with a detective and have it sent to him. Or just have fun and play around with the guy on emails and see how long you can play. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverFlatty Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 sent this reply hey Jeffrey, Thanks for the interest in my car. I have some concerns though. I would prefer to talk to you over the phone before we settle. Would you please send me your full name, phone number, and whet time would be good for me to call you. Also I would rather not be involved with your shipper other than meeting them and giving them the car. I do not want to cash a money order for them. You can pay them directly. But I do want to contact them to set up meeting and to make sure that YOU will get the car. So I would also like to get all the contact info for them along with the name of the guy you deal with. So once I hear from you again, I will call you and we will go from there. Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank's, Jeffrey "I may have it sold locally. Have your wife or your son call me, and maybe I'll let you take it since you touched base first. Otherwise I can't sell it to you without talking to somebody on your end. All the shipping details are just more than I really want to deal with. Hope you understand."
