I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Am I right to be skeptical?

Am I right to be skeptical?

Post by kotomile » August 01, 2005

I have my TEINs up for sale on Hondaclassifieds.com, and just like when I posted them on craigslist.com, I get these poorly worded e-mails from supposedly well-to-do europeans who will "send a company inspector" to look at them and "want to know the condition of the item and the price for which you sell" even though both are listed clearly in the ad.

Am I wrong for ignoring these emails? I feel like I'm being scammed..

i wouldn't even bother with their phone numbers. Just wait until either a local picks them up, or you get someone from the states.

Email? Hmm lets think for a second here, if I wanted to scam somone without them knowing who I am how would I do it? Or if I saw something that I liked and I was part schmuck, I would act like I was some big bad mofo, send the guy who was selling them an email, (because I can get away without them knowing who I am) and say "I'll have my guys come by your house to look at them" BLAH!!! tell em' to shove it.
Time to change my signature....
