Convo:



> Stupid cheap, too good to be true price
>Trenton Ontario
> Listing in Toronto
> FB account made in 2023
by now every red flag was pulled but i just wanted to confirm how much bullshit there is

> Switches to using "pal" instead of "buddy".
> dodges every opportunity to see the thing in person
> multiple times

>second hears money, post/ reply frequency increases
> gets greedy by demanding more money (low balled $50 to see what happens, knowing he'd want $100.)

>incessant pushing to "what's going on, we doing this or not" type of attitude.
and i'm just ignoring this going forward.

Scum sucking pig virus.
One must have ones guard up for sure!

 

shoutout to @MaverickT883 since he apparently has been in commiefornia enough times, he basically pin pointed the exact parking lot that the photos in the listing "were taken".
when i first saw the post, i was trying to figure out where in fucking Toronto was a parking lot with trees and a hill beside it...

 

Basically similar scams as described here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tacoma-parts-ig-scam-warning.794751/ and here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/buying-used-parts.804287/

 

I find a lot of that going on these days...one also has to be careful when selling as well.

 

My general rule of thumb is that i never give/ talk money without seeing it first.

Private sellers requesting a deposit is an automatic no thanks.

Haven't been scammed yet.

 

Ya ya, cant hang out with my dad on fathers day…

Whats ur excuse for this weekend then

 

^I need to attend my cousin's wedding. Unlike Father's Day it isn't a yearly thing, as far as I can tell

 

Well, if your cousin is an asshole...it could be

 

crazy... I saw that post too and almost asked about it. thanks for sharing

 

Oh shit, i saved 1 other. Worth it!

Yeah red flags all day long, part of me still wants it to be true, but the photos used, and all just gave it away. If you have any other FB groups, share that post

 

16-year-old in 2023 G-wagon (!!) Shut down our highway for 18 hours by somehow flipping a vehicle on a 90kmh zone at 1:30 in the morning and almost killing someone.

 

>24 year-old send to hospital in life-threatening condition.
“Police say at around 1:30 a.m., an eastbound vehicle was attempting to merge onto the highway from Upper James Street when it struck another car.
As a result of the collision, a vehicle became engulfed in flames and another came to rest on its roof,” Const. Indy Bharaj said in a video posted on social media."

Christ... i figured street racing at 1am, not "trying to merge". A G-wagon is has an angry motor under the hood and they can boogie. I can see the kid panic and try outrunning the other guy to merge in front as the lane started to end.
technically dont think that 16yo kid shoulda been merging onto the Linc. at 16 you just got your G1 license and if i recall correctly on your G1 you can't drive the highway and only streets. at G2 you can drive on the Linc alone but not the 400 series without an adult (typically a year later). Regardless that poor kid, and specially the unfortunate soul that encountered them.



Hope he pulls through


Edit:
kid has his G2.

Inexperienced driver in a vehicle with a high centre of gravity.

 

Anyone know what happened to Daks? The guy used to be a regular but I haven't seen him on here in 6 months or more.
