CHEERS

BRADO

[HalfBaked]

Who says Cheers...

Fucking English prick.

[OneSlow5pt0]

scam,anyone that doesnt come out and say what your selling is a scam

[81911SC]

Paypal?

[TheSnail]

Thought so, I just didnt think scammers would use money order, because I thought that was as good as cash. Either way Im gonna email him back to fuck with him. Maybe use slang like our buddy nismosentra.

[81911SC]

He maybe serious, so I wouldn't ruin the chances. See if he can do paypal.

[TheSnail]

How do you scam using money order? Anyone know?

[BTLFED]

Just tell him it has to be a POSTAL money order. That way you can track it and make sure it is legit.

Don't paypal for a car. Bad idea.

[BTLFED]

How do you scam using money order? Anyone know?

It will be a money order from like "billy bobs house of liquor" or some small shit like that. You can fake a money order.

[81911SC]

Is it a car or just the motor?

[TheSnail]

Email title says: AUTO PARTS, but he talks about the condition of "IT". I thinks its bullshit, Im gonna fuck with him.

[TheSnail]

Is it a car or just the motor?


Kind of both in a way, but mainly just the motor and trans.

[81911SC]

Ah, ok.

[Lucky DAWG]

a wire transfer would be legit, see if he would do that.
ask what item he is talking about too so you can get it all in writing

SCAM... who talks like that ne ways?

[Tracy]

Scam. The best thing to do is to not send an item until the certified funds have cleared if you are going to take it in the form of certified funds. They way they could scam you since you asked is to print out a fake money order or cashiers check. It takes several days if not weeks (depending on the amount) for a cashiers check to clear your bank account. So you should be safe once it clears.

[ATK_Designs]

I get that all the time. It's a scam.

[SixSquared]

dude... is that orange z yours? if it is, quit fuckin around with scammers and sell it to ME!

[BTLFED]

dude... is that orange z yours? if it is, quit fuckin around with scammers and sell it to ME!

Yeah that is Voya's Z. I'm thinking you will have to come off a bit of money to get it from him though. ;)

point being?

[BTLFED]

point being?

Well if your that gangsta, but he has been looking for a clean Z for a LONG time. He might be a bit reluctant to give it up. ;)

[LeX]

I'll take the Z too. PM me price and pics of the frame rails, lower quarter panels, and driver/passenger floorboards

[BuBBa DRiFT]

[TheSnail]

The usual MO with these people is that they send you a fake cashiers check for an amount over the original asking price. They'll ask you to send the item with the extra money to them. So in a few weeks, when the fake check gets figured out, not only will you be out the money, but your item AND the money you sent to them. It is just a nasty process.

[TheSnail]

No but for real. I started the project yesterday and worked on it all today. So I took the interior out, took out the sound deadening and started stitch welding. Its already turning out to be a beast. But basically the lowest I could go for the car which I am not to eager to sell would be 5500, given the fact that body work and paint was 4500 alone.

[Marta Mike]

SCAM i sell stuff of CL all the time. I get those messages with the exact same reply just about everytime. I just ignore them.

[00CelicaGT]

cash only bitches. cant scam u wit cash unless it's counterfit, but you can also just hold on to the engine/tranny untill the check/moneyorder clears bank.
