  • Scam the maybe scammer

    Sometime ago I posted a few adds on message forums looking for 84 Superior parts, mainly drivers side door glass. It's been so long I've basically forgotten about the adds. The other day I get this email.

    Hi,
    I have *84 Cadillac Fleetwood Hearse *parts, for sale i bought some
    years
    ago
    then life changed ,still in good shape,no dents Drop me an email if
    you are still in need..
    Carlrick


    Not thinking much unusual here I responded

    "Yes, I'm always in need. Mine is a superior built coach. What is
    yours?
    Where are you located? I could use front driver door."

    Then I get this back

    Hello,

    "Below is an attached image of my 84 Cadillac Fleetwood Hearse
    (superior coach) , Note i am selling the complete car as parts but
    since you need the front driver door, there is no problem asking
    price
    for it $200 , Please let me know if my price is Ok and i will also
    need your complete home address to enable me figure out the shipping
    fees to your door step thanks.

    Hope to hear from you soon next."



    I opened this in the evening on my phone. The first thing I thought was my phone screwed up a pic of my car. I reopened it and it's the same pic. Next thought runs thru my head is 1 it's one of the Hearse bros fucking with me or 2 this is one of those foreign scammers. Of all the Hearses they found mine and sent me a horrible attempt to photo edit it,, So I decided to keep going and replied.

    "Wow how much for the whole car, looks like it has potential still."

    And the response I got

    "Hey,the car is parts,i am parting the car,not selling the complete
    car, let me know if you are ok with my price,of $200,along with your
    complete home address."
    Regards

    At this point I'm sure it's a foreign scammer, so I decided to see what I could get done. I let about a 1/2 day go by and sent this.


    "Hadn't heard back, I'm still interested in door part, but need to know if
    it
    will fit. On the door it should have basic text saying blessed by "Church
    of
    NHAA" This is important as I have to have that on the door. There were a
    few
    others so only this one i can use to work in my church. Send a pic of
    where
    it says that. The only other thing that you could do is have a member of
    the
    church in your area take a picture blessing it."

    The response
    "Hi,i have attached the pictures of the door,i'm in Kentucky, let me
    know what you think.."



    FYI, there is a good chance this is your interior or another hearse friends car, this isn't one of mine. I responded.

    "My reverend won't give money unless it's blessed by the Church of NHAA, must
    have tag on it. Maybe add one in picture so I can show him."

    And here is the reply back

    Hi,i have attached the picture where the text saying blessed by
    "Church of *NHAA,let me know what you think now so that i will email
    you where to made the payment,



    I haven't responded yet, but can you believe this?

    Just sent this,, The rev tooka t also wants to know if the window motor has a good exhaust pipe? He prefers flowmaster but if it's stock it's still good with him. When was the door hinge oil and filter last changed? Also do you know if the glass was blessed?

      lol, that's good stuff. Keep fucking with them.
      Tell them you can send the money but it will be 1000 dollars because it's the smallest amount you can send, and they will need to send you back $800 that way it all looks right for tax purposes.

                      Ha! This shit cracked me up! Thats unbelievable that he actually sent you a picture of your own car to pick parts off of. Hes a hell of a salesman tho, ill give him that. He strives to please lol. Gotta be a way to nail this guy. These internet scammers are outta control. Keep up the good work, im anxious to see how far this douch will go for $200 bucks haha

                        They are probably in Nigeria or some shithole country like that.
                        I say send them a fake check.

                          That can have legal ramifications of fraud though on his part.

                          I say contact the FBI and set him up to hang himself. After all he could be trying to scam money to fund his terrorist cell, right?

                              A friend of mine was recently offered a 63 Cadillac Superior ambulance in a trade. She asked for a picture of the car and was sent a picture of my car... I dont know what became of it, but we were pretty shocked. I'd take the FBI road here.
