Straight out of the scammers playbook. I wouldn't even waste any more time on him.

Definitely right out of the scammers playbook. They'll also say that they will have a shipper pick up the car. Have the scammer give the cashiers/certified check to the shipper, they can cash it and give you the cash on pickup. Had one of those Bozos do the same thing to me when I was selling the Volare a few months ago. Told him to have his shipper cash the check and bring cash on pickup. Never heard from him again.

We had similar situation selling our old Totorhome. I would never give my banking info for a wire to anyone. I set up a new bank account for wires in only, the account did not have checks, it did not allow ACH transactions, it wasn't a ZBA, no ATM/Debit card or wires out. The plan was once the money was wired and in the account, I had my bank tranfer out of that account and closed it down. You have to be very cautious with today's technology and savvy crooks. I never used the account, we sold the Totor to a friend.

Once you get the check, call the bank that it is drawn from and find out if it's good. There are alot of scammers responding to RJ ads. Be vigilant.

Tell him to bring CASH that way there’s no problem
Zero confusion and everyone’s happy I never accept a check on a big $$ purchase

I will never post anything on RJ again. I had a few items listed with them earlier in the year and was unindated with texts and queries about the parts, but it was all scammers. Someone has figured out how to phish that site very efficiently. Fortunately the wording used by the scammers make them suspicious from the get-go and they ask for bank information up front so their "financial agent" can transfer the money. All BS. I insisted on PayPal only and that shut them up.

Once you give them your bank account and routing numbers they've probably already got you, so you should never do that.. best advice, if you don't know the person or someone that does do it with cash.. if they're serious and legit they won't have a problem doing that and if they do you should too... ;-) Jackie |
