WTF?
Since when did the LUV registration portion of this page become a classified ad!?! Thats where "Terry" would have gotten that information, because I meant to type '81' instead of '80' when I filled that out. And the turbo....WHAT turbo!!?? I don't have a turbo! And how does that have anything to do with my LUV?! Its says nothing about a turbo on the registery! And last time I checked, I was NOT selling my LUV.
Email was from
terry_james2004@outgun.com. If anyone gets an email from that dude, best not to open it. Who knows what virus it got with it.
Oh and if this Mr. Terry James reads this...my LUV is NOT for sale!!
Well, well, well - let me tell you how this scam works:
They tell you that an overseas person is interested in the vehicle. So they offer to send you upwards to $10,000 more for the vehicle and then tell you to send the $10,000 back to them. So what they do is you sell the truck for $2,500, they offer to send you $10,000 because that is the only amount the bank will cut the check for. They want YOU to sent back the $7,500 back to them when the transaction is complete.
They don't want the truck, they want the $$$. In the meantime, the "Certified Check" that you just deposited in the bank comes back bouncing, so now you are stuck with a $7,500 bill that you have to pay your bank plus fees because you gave them a bad check.
Nice little scheme!
