How much wind noise does that roof appendage make? I have the factory rack and putting anything on it (like 3 pair of skis) makes it hard to hear the radio.

Since he agreed to wait until your banker says ok, tell him you 'don't have the ok yet but you expect it any day now'.

Then a few days later tell him that you unexpectely have to go out of the country on business for a couple of weeks, and won't have access to phone/internet services...But that you'll be more than happy to compensate him for his patience when you do get back, since money will no longer be a problem after you finish pulling together a group of investors together to help out a Nigerian prince.

Post the number to Reddit. I'm sure they'll find something hilarious to do.

Make him really worried, tell him you wired the money to the shipper as instructed. Make him think some other scammer got to you.

Does anyone remember a thread that got out of control (on another forum) where a dbag hit a "CRUB" and "POPED" his tires? Some nearly illiterate sidehatted brotato in a riced rattletrap of some form actually took out the corner of someones house. Cops estimated his speed near 3 digits in a residential neighborhood, IIRC, and he tried to tell people it was just a loss of control from curbing his wheel.

I believe he hit two crubs and a fents. Pretty sure it was the infamous VW Vortex brain trust.

From swmbo and my banker I cannot respond in any way.....what fun is that? Nothing says I cannot share his latest message and I accidentally wrote his phone # 469 614-8582 Richard Coleman Email iforgiveallsins03@gmail.com Today, 8:20 AM Hello James How are you doing today? I believe you are doing great. I was able to contact my mover's coordinators today and she will schedule arrangement for movers near you to come for the pick up of the vehicle and i'm waiting for their bank account details where you will deposit the cash balance of $7,500 as soon as you have it. Cos they need to confirm the cash payment in their bank account before coming to move. Please, do get back to me as soon as possible. Regards Richard Coleman

I'm sorry, but someone has to say it: all this trouble is because you tried to sell a really cool truck and not replace it with a Miata. You get what you deserve, you should have kept it. (the graphics are bad-ass)

Very. I left that forum well before I left the VW scene. I felt my IQ drop with every visit to that forum.

Nothing says scammer like an email address of "iforgiveallsins..." - he's even playing the religion card.

Well, my bank charged me 12 bucks for depositing a bad check, that will teach me.

And what did those confident bastards have to say about that check now? I still can't believe they were telling you that no one could touch that money. So glad you didn't get scammed.

That's an absolute load of E36 M3 and I'd be finding another berkeleying bank if they didn't reverse the charge! You were open and honest with them about the uncertainty of the check and THEY TOLD YOU IT WAS OK!!!

Yeah, I'd have that banker you talked to reverse that twelve bucks.

Did the scammer ever press you for the money/truck? Like send you "bank details" or something? Seems like they would press that well before the check bounced.
