 |
|
Got a new #... 825-394-8201
Was adamant about me getting a GVH report, said his name was James.
Told him I would check into getting one and then he slipped......sent me a link and tried to convince me to get it through his link! Blocked him right there.
What confused me was the fact that he got my phone #. It wasn't in the add, not sure if it's even in my profile. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Marcus

I experience the same thing. He told me to use a strange sight. Glad I googled his number. Saids his name is James from Fort Pierce Florida. Set a time to coe see the car. Before I give location I tried to call him his number saids it's out of order when you try to call.
What is his goal here? |

| I just received a message from this "James" as well. Stated that he was from Weatherford, Tx. Agreed to the price right away and did not haggle but stated that he was scammed before so he wanted the GVH. He sent me the website and I googled the website and the results were all stating "Scam". When I messaged him back, he stated that he understood that the cost of the GVH was a concern but that he was genuinely interested in buying my "truck" after his first message even stated "1964 VW beetle". So I called him out on it and now he is not responding. What a joke. |
