I am selling a car on KSL.com classified. "Wayne" texted that he wanted to buy the car at my asking price using Paypal. After seeing these posts - the dialogue stopped there. Great site - thanks all! All I lost was some time - I wish there was a way to legally thump these dirt bags.
Tried selling a car online and received text from this number saying his name was Wayne Fisher. Obviously not truly interested in car. Continued contact and wanted paypal account information. Per conversation, I concluded that he was not a native English speaker.
Thanks for your help in verification that I was dealing with SCUM!
Just got a text from Wayne Fisher about a vehicle I was selling on ksl, who immediately wanted to send me money through pay-pal. I then proceeded to call a financial advisor for advice because I didn't know how to use paypal. They advised to proceed with caution. I then called a family member who said the same thing. Then I had a feeling I should look up where the area code came from and found this website! Thank you so much! I definitely dodged a bullet!!!!!
i too was selling a car on KSL. the day after i posted it, i got a text from this number saying that Wayne Fisher wanted to by my car without seeing it via paypal. i gave him my paypal info, and then i got a message in my spam inbox saying that mr fisher's transaction is totally ligit and to pay him 600 dollors through a western union money order for his agent to come to utah to pick up the car. He told me that he was located in MO, and didn't explain anything other than that.
THANK GOD i found this before i went through with it. i sent him a nasty message and i havent heard back from him yet.
BUT, it looks like this piece of $#!! is trying to scam people constantly, so be careful...
