So my Mustang is up for sale on a few different platforms including this forum. I really don’t want to at all but my wife is going back to Graduate school and if I sell it she can work part time through school. I have already made her promise that if I sell it she will have to buy me another one, only better, after she graduates.

Anyway, I’ve had a few scammers show interest.

This one called me first, then started texting. All I did was google the website they provided and red flags start popping up. Be careful with your info people. However I thought some of y’all might find the exchange amusing. I’m sure they didn’t appreciate me replying before 5 am, either.

I keep Ball Python Morphs, and I sell the babies to pay for my hobby. Actually bought my Boss with some snake money. There was a guy who went to a parking lot to sell some snakes and got shot. Dude got away with the snakes and kept the money....cannot remember if he stole the car too?

What’s the scam here via that website?
I’m not questioning that this was a scammer, it definitely was, I’m just not familiar with this one. :) I know about the paypal ones. That website gets hit as “likely scam” via scam-checking websites.

I used to as a hobby email the scam craigslist posts selling cars and just make them waste their time for a couple of days.

If you've never read a site called " Don't Even Reply", take a look at it. Some funny stuff messing with for sales ads on craigslist.

I’m not entirely sure to be honest. But with my VIN and other pertinent info, I’m sure someone creative can cause a problem. The funny part is I thought I recognized the email that was given. I searched my email history on the laptop, and sure enough, they tried to get me on a 1966 Plymouth Satellite I had for sale awhile back. Same request for info, different website. I was the documented second owner, numbers matching car, and they wanted a “Carfax” type document. I lol’d.

I’ve bought and sold a few cars in the last few years. The scammers are crazy. When I’m sure I’m talking with a scammer, I’ll set up a meet somewhere and never show. Makes me giggle. Just the thought of some jackass sitting in a Walmart parking lot wondering when I’ll get there makes me laugh.

LOL I always have people meet me at the PD or in town while I'm working. Love the look on their face when I show up, the BS quickly goes away and we can get down to business.

Does anyone have an old VIN to try? Went to the webpage it's seems real and registered in Miami. Doesn't seem like a scam to me unless after hitting submit you get hassled for credit or personal info...

I’m no internet ninja but when I googled it I got a ton of consumer website warnings. I’ll pass. Like I said, I had actually had a very similar exchange with someone with a different name but the same email address with a car a had for sale about two years ago.
