Too good to be true??

A guy who calls himself TJ (Russel) LEVITON is liquidating his dads BUICK stash in FALLON, Nevada. It has to be done today as they are closing on dads place, and they are flying out this evening. A ton of NOS parts for the '64, bumpers, fenders, trim, 455 stuff, etc shipped from there for 150.00 plus the scrap value of the parts. He says he got my number from some one here in Wisconsin, a Mr. Bennett. Another forum guy from Dallas-FW or New Mexico didnt call back on the stuff.... any thoughts? FASTT!!! ws

 

You know what they say...

 

I search Las Vegas CL everyday and haven't seen any ads that sound like that.....might be a good deal, but verify. At least find out where he got your number.

 

I don't know anything about this, but if your being rushed to make a decision it's always a red flag. Did they send you pictures of the 'stash'? Who is going to pack up and ship the stash if they are flying out this evening?

 

Am I smelling PHISH??? His name is Russel Leviton and his dad lived in Fallon, Nv. But 150.00 to ship all this **** including a crank etc??? Anyone near Reno that can look at this for me??

Supposedly, haha, this stuff was all boxed up for a sale that fell through. He has a shipper pal that will pick up and ship. No pics, no computer, and a flip phone. # 775 666 XXXX. Some one wanna make that call and play him?? Bill

Different phone numbers.

 

Its about 65 miles...Pats got the drag set real lose to let the phish run and get tired... The CL add is at 2600 cactus view drive in RENO. Fallon is about 65 miles east.

This guy talks real fast, and almost has me hooked. Pats gonna play him. The CL number is a voice mail for Billy, william calvert.

 

To quote Willie Robertson..." I gots to go has a bowel movement and thinks about dis fo' a while..." Smells like some baddd phish. Just to good to be true... ws

 

When the guy calls back I am going to tell him that I am flying Bill out right away and they can do the deal face to face. Bill will be there in 3 hours.

 

That address definitely has some classics:

 

Scammer sees legit ad, contacts people with known like interests and "YOU GOTTA DO IT RIGHT THIS SECOND!!!".

 

Scam, tell him to crawl in a hole and die

 

So ya think for 200.00 he'd throw in that car hauler and I can drive back? Thats from the Reno CL ad... ws

 

Tell him sure you will do it, and you will pay him when the parts arrive. You can't send him payment tonight, since he is leaving town

 

I'd love to have the ramp truck for reelz

 

Spidey senses are tingling....and it isn't a good tingle either. However, that Caddie would be nice...

 

Tell him you have plenty of cash. Then send a picture of Monopoly money since he seems to be playing a game.

 

Just scanning around- every few blocks there's a yard half filled with junk/cars. Loaded out there; guess they never rot away.

 

Woke up to this.. I called at 0530 thats 0330 their time ws
