WGMG - Being scammed!! I just dropped the price on one of my cars today and I got an email reply from someone wanting to pay asking price. They were paying me through paypal and even sent me fake paypal emails. The emails looked real apart from the same grammar errors that the buyer had in their emails. Then there was the fact that the email account they used for paypal was set us as its name being
[email protected] while their email was something way off. I ended up calling paypal as the emails looked off and they wanted be to sent $950 through Western Union for delivery charges before I got any of the $3550.
Another thing that grinds my gears is that I sold an engine and gearbox to a member on here. He stood me up on the day the engine and box was to be removed from the car, so I got a mate to help me. Before I pulled it out I filmed the engine running to prove it worked. He came a couple weeks later and picked it up.
Now he claims that he had his mechanic look at it, and his mechanic thinks the engine hasn't run in over 4 years. That and the gear box is stuffed and wouldn't work. I assured him that I drove it home when I bought it and had no issues. He then continued to reply and call me names and demand his money back! He claims he'll bad mouth me now for I have done him wrong apparently. I am no mechanic, but from my point of view the car ran and drove fine. If he turned when he was meant to he would have seen that.
