BEWARE RIP-OFF ATTEMPT
 

ANYONE reading this please NOTE how this guy tried to get me to send him money... as if he's dealing with a dummy!

BEWARE... RIP-OFF ATTEMPT!!

Here's our email exchange (addresses deleted for privacy) read from bottom up:


Gerry,

I can understand that you have two houses & you're currently in Kansas.

My point is, what assurance do I have, once I've sent you money, that I will receive the bumper cover?

Look at it this way - would you trust ME to send YOU the money AFTER I get the bumper cover? Please understand that you're asking me to trust YOU and you have no "history" by which I could judge your honesty - there's nothing I could do if the product never arrives. On the other hand, I'M a regular on the forum with a fine reputation... you could publically defame me if I welshed on a deal. You have no similar liability. Am I making myself clear?

What do you suggest we do in order to feel comfortable doing business with each other?

Rick

The thing is Rick i own two different houses. one in wisconsin and a cattle ranch in kansas and my cattle ranch and my house in kansas is where i am at now and where i will be for the next 8 months so you can just send the money order to the address in kansas. because that is my house where i am currently at and will reside until this september. i just own another house in wisconis but i wont be there for awhile. so sending the money order to my kansas home will do just fine.

Gerry,

Sounds like a good deal. However, I need your help.

Your profile on Mustang Forums was just created yesterday and it states that you live in Wisconsin? Sending you a money order is fine, however I need a little assurance that I'm not just sending money off into a vacuum... I'm sure you'd feel the same in my place.

Please call me @ 508-xxx-xxxx and we can work out the details.

My mailing address is:

Hi rick sending the bumper cover to you will not be a problem. The cost for the bumper cover and the shipping all togethor will be 165 dollars. This bumper cover is in real excellent condition and really polished to where you can see your face in it. You will love it. I only accept money orders so I have included my mailing address in this email on where to send payment. Email me back and let me know your mailing address so i know where to ship the black gt bumper cover. thank you and looking forward to doing business.

Hey fantasymaster,

Thanks for responding to my search...

Where are you located? I'm near Boston, MA, How much for the bumper? Do you know how to package it & what the cost of shipping would be?

Let me know - Rick

Of course when he realized I wouldn't trust him so easily... I never heard back. DAMN pisses me off to think there are dickheads like him trolling the classified looking for an easy mark... BE CAREFUL GUYS!!

Mint condition and shiny? Generally, scams like this sound like they were written by Borat.

Dearest Friend,

Greatest day, me have the nice shiny bumper for you. Send me all your moneys and gypsy tears friend, I will be shipping so soon as I get your financings.

Hope you liking the greatest weathers.

Your dear friend,

John Smith

lol, sorry this happened to you, I have dealt with scammers in the past, at least you were smart.
