    I see a few with fuel cans mounted in that location as well. It's always a smart idea to have something extremely flammable beside your exit lol...

    Never heard of it. VIN is the most you’ll ever provide a buyer. Nothing more is needed.

    Scams are sophisticated these days. Fake Money orders and cashiers check looks realistic more than ever these days. Always check route# and verify accounts with banks and credit unions. When in doubt, don’t sell. It is common for scammers to have a super nice friendly kind person as the front person to do the dealings and they get a cut.

    Scammers that come across as assholes don't really do that well. lol

    When I sell I require cash and a signed release of liability slip. I sign over the title and hand the new owner a written receipt. If anyone has a problem with those terms they won't be getting the vehicle.

    Better yet make the transition at a bank. Cash no problem. Sketchy money transfers... bank should catch that.

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    I was looking into this. I guess they have a legit looking website when you search for that "form" they are asking for. You put all your information, pay the $25 and you don't ever hear from them again. Now they have your CC info and $25 from you to do whatever they want later.

    I rather enjoy scammers on CL. I like to lead them on for as long as I can.
    I had a dude want to buy a motorcycle who was on deployment over seas. I copy and pasted his initial email into Google and it came back word for word a known scam.
    I had him on the hook for at least 30 emails for like 2 weeks before they gave up.
    Always use a throw away email and get a Google voice number.

    I just stuck to email.
    Before I knew it was a scam I thanked the guy for his service and explained I have 2 brothers in the military. I think 1 of them was on deployment in Afghanistan at the time and the other one had been deployed to Iraq multiple times and I wasnt comfortable selling him the bike site unseen. At the very least I wanted to send him a detailed video of the bike running etc.
    Then I found out it was a scam.
    After that it was delay delay delay. Like my dog, Dmitry (I don’t have one) was sick and I could really use the money. My wife (don’t have one of those either) needed to give the okay to sell it because she loves riding and wants to keep but we need the money because I got scammed out of a kidney and the dog is sick etc etc etc.

    Just don’t let a perfectly good scammer go to waste next time.
