Use pay pal Use internet Informed me postal rates would rise this past Monday so I needed to act now Have the ability to post pictures Initially could not mail to my home address but later said he could. He did Offered to find a location from which I could send him money He said he found my name and want on a piece of paper in his truck from almost a year ago, I posted the ad on the barn in march of this year. Put these all together and to me it raises questions. That's all I am saying and if he wants to sell these parts and is legit, I just advertised for him. Nuff said. |

Re: Scam?
use google maps to check out 739 clear field lane. Milbrae ca - you'll see that there is no Clearfield lane -- it is Clearfield drive -
I would attach a picture if I could figure out how to do it. |

Re: Scam?
Vern, Pat59 is right. I would skip that guy in a heartbeat. Also that house for 1.75 big ones? Amazing what they ask out there. That would go for 250K maybe, around these parts....

Hey Vern, Are you a fisherman ? If yes, you should recognize 'baited hook' when you smell/see one, eh ! Where do you go when you are fishing...A: where the 'fish' are. And, if you are not a youth, when do you do ANYTHING 'right away' ? It is obvious that 'Armando' knows where the fish are, but that he is lost after that at how to skillfully catch fish. Your instincts are still working, enjoy Utah. Hm, Castro is giving the left coast a bad name/rep ! Well, that already happened, never mind. Last edited by hardtimes; 03-17-2018 at 01:46 PM.

Re: Scam?
Which part is a scam? Living in California and having hispanic name, maybe? Can't you just say 'no thanks' to him and I'd have ten minutes to read real car threads. Darn, I actually thought there was some real interesting gossip to spread.

Re: Scam?
I ordered and paid for a few Willys parts from a webshop business in Northern Netherlands 6 weeks ago. After a couple of minutes I received an email "thank you for your order..." Two weeks later still no parts or shipping comfirmation. I emailed the guy a few times, no answers, try to phone the business ; "no one available at the moment", then when I told huim in an email that I made a file and was going to my lawyer he respjnded with ; "my father is very sick, bla bla bla". Can be and I told him I was sorry...
Now, six weeks later and dozens of emails still nothing and no answers. Same thing with the phone. I try to contact him on his two facebook pages : no reaction. I contacted his wife (that I found on facebook) she answered me right away : "he has his head full right now with his father being sick, ...I will tell him". A couple of days later I contacted her again and asked her to tell her husband to refund me or send the parts asap, she told me "leave me alone !". I can send the name of the guy and the business to anyone who might be interested. Last edited by 3.6rs; 03-19-2018 at 12:31 AM. |

Re: Scam?
If I inquire, or get an uninvited response to an inquire from someone and the response seems fishy, especially if they are asking for information or payment by money order, I ask for their address to send money, then reply that my brother in law lives only 30 minutes away and I will have him come over to pick up the item and pay cash. Always end of process.
