Possible scam on VCA Classifieds

[NCVCA]

Tell me if this sounds 'funny' to you... This was emailed to me yesterday in response to my post in the classifieds section. Notice a free Hotmail account also...

Does anybody know this guy? I've requested his VCA number but no response yet.

Maybe it's because I'm young, but... Who talks like that?

 

[Wild Bill]

Same old scam. Tell him to send the check and once it clears (14 working days) you'll send a picture of the doors to him.

Not a possible scam..it is a scam! Same letters I was getting for my Harley.

 

[NCVCA]

Hemi Head... whats your fee? It's obvious that he doesn't care what anyone charges!

Well I guess there are still a set of doors for sale. Maybe he did me a favor making it acceptable for the general forum.
