the guy wants me to transfer money into his account right now, because he is going on vacation tomorrow. i asked if i could call him and he told me he was at work.

so what do you guys think?
help me quick

 

sounds shady to me

 

when its too nice to be true, then,most of the time it is!

stay away from that

 

don't kno wat 2 tell ya but dats a 50/50 risk... dats hella low 4 RG's, if it seems 2 good 2 b true then it probably is... b careful

 

I wouldn't. Dont trust anyone

 

I recently got burned buying a fake mugen wing. My seller seemed honest and sincere. I've learned my lesson. If you ask me, you're rolling the dice if you wire the money.

 

ask him if he's going on vacation when are you suppose to get your stuff, or at least how will you be able to get in contact with him during the shipment? i'd tell him i can't pay him until friday when i get paid, see what happens, but it does sound a little "too good" or you could tell him to call you when he gets back from vacation, never be rushed into any transaction, especially an online transaction

 

you could always ask him to do a COD. Then no one gets screwed...unless you dont accept and he's stuck with the shipping charge. But I wouldnt wire him the money.

 

I have just received an email from this guy a little while ago. I am trying to set-up a meet with him for the wheels. I will keep you guys posted.

Here is reply to my email:


yes i do they are sitting right here in my living room i go on vacation tomorrow and would like to ship these out by tonight!!!!! western union is best let me know back asap

Do you still have these available?? Let me know!!

 

your in his area? are you buying them?

 

That's a very good deal. Too bad I don't have any money.

 

He is in Dallas and I am about 2 hours away. I am trying to get him to meet me so that I can buy these if they are legit. No response yet after I returned his email.

 

if it's the real deal and you for some reason don't buy them let me know.

 

Well, I guess he is not in Dallas like the ad says. he just replied to my email:

Don't let him rush you into wiring that money. That would be a bad idea!!!

 

dosn't seem like he is a very assureing guy

 

Save up some cash lol ....I might be selling my 16" bronze mugen mf8's but for like 1000$ more than 750$ stick to local sales don't wire anyone you don't know fund's let alone have them rush you into things vacation or not dawg !

 

i told him i would give him a 125dollars extra to send them with a COD and he keeps on telling me he doesnt have any extra cash to ship them he doesnt have a credit card to charge the shipping on, and to keep my 125dollars and to send 750 throguh western union and he'll ship them out tonight

man, becareful, he sounded like the guy that ripped me off for $200. first he said that he was going on vacation and once he got the money, i never heard from him again. so watch out for that dude.

 

here is his excuse now for why he doesnt want to do a cod, "how do i know that if i send them cod you dont have a friend that works there and hell just slide them to you its happened to me before i need the money to ship them i will send you the tracking number as soon as i get back let me know your next move"

 

I wouldn't send money through western union. Sellers who only accept western union are very shady in my book. Its basically giving your money away and there is no way you can get it back. Your best bet would be using paypal with a credit card. that way if you get scammed, you can always do a chargeback.

 

Yea I really wouldn't take a chance on this, from what i've read so far theres no way i'd send him the money. Its not worth the risk, and by the things he's said he really comes off as someone who will rip you off. Don't wire him the money, just tell him no thanks and see what he says. He'll probably be like ok i'll give em to you for 600 just send me the money. Then you'll know he's just trying to rip you off and make some quick money.

 

if he doesn't meet or give you a contacting number or any kind of refs then don't even bother with it! might as well just throw your moneys in a SCAMpactor!

 

the one time me and friends wired money we lost it. . .over 3 thousand bucks. . you can decide

 

get his bank info and transfer money into his bank account
keep all the paperwork and if he screws thats over $500
tell the local police dept.
