Just a heads up and I'm sure this is nothing new, however I appreciate whomever put a list of scammer phone numbers on the forum. This guy 662-601-4191 was on the list and this is the number that came up on our phone. He wanted to buy the bus, no haggling, yeah right! And after poking him a big, he comes up with that he is deaf so he can't communicate otherwise. Well working with the public, we know that is not true, there are many ways they can communicate. He claims his name is Andrew J. Nist.
So we strung him along a bit, and then I'm going to call him out about it. I'll let you know how that goes, but again thanks to whoever wrote that and a heads up that it is continuing!
Have a great day! |

Glad you caught it and Yes, people have submitted the phone #s.
It's great to list them here because the thread with the list comes up on Google for anyone (even non-VW people) to find it.
I recognize that name as a scammer name too.
Have fun messing with them if you want to spend the time _________________ How to Post Photos

no I didn't think they were on vacation, but he texted that is doctor advised him not to use a TTYD, which made no sense and even then you have NO ONE in your life that can hear and talk? That was so silly!
Yes, the numbers helped me tremendously and I thank whomever did that. Wow really you've heard that name? Crazy! |

Wow, I can't believe you were so mean. Scammers have feelings too (I think) _________________ How to Post Photos

Okay you have a new member today trying to scam me.
User Name: [email protected]
So here's the scam:
I've been running a WTB ad for some time for a 140km trip speedometer.
This guy contacts me and says he has a couple of them and will send me pictures but the email and person change twice within the hour.
Images he sent through are from a current Orange Empire Speedometer ad, simple Google image search found that.
By the way the images are of a non trip, regular 140km speedo, me thinking this guy is not a VW guy.
Anyway probably best to shut him down before he scams anyone. |
