Hello,
My name is Andrew Bishop how are you doing today hope you are fine. I would like to know if you do body repair, because my wife had an accident with my 2007 Cadillac Escalade truck on her way to colorado to visit her beloved mother. I want the truck tow back to your shop here in state, so you can do the body repair for me. Can you handle that for me? And there is no insurance involved am paying personally for the repair also the tow guy will have it dropped to your shop for the body repair by this week or next week. So please get back to me if you are ready to handle this for me, so I can tell the wrecker to go ahead and tow it down to your shop. I will need your shop address so the wrecker man can locate your shop easily when they arrive. I will be looking forward to your response. Please Kindly reply me back via my email because I want the car to be tow to you before the week runs out.

Regards.
Andrew Bishop

At no point did I actually believe this was real. We are in Ohio, why on earth would they tow a car all the way here from California. We didn't respond after the last e-mail and he hasn't e-mailed me back since 11/9/12.

I like your idea. Thanks! I'm in the process of doing the same.

Latest e-mail sent to him:

What's the information for the towing company? We need to get this going so we can get your mother's car fixed. I will also need the credit card information that you will be paying with prior to the towing. Our company information is in my signature, and the previous e-mail. We do not give out our cell phone numbers to customers. Any questions can be directed to the phone number listed below. Please reply with your credit card information and the towing company's information A.S.A.P. so we can get the repairs underway. Thanks again!


Hope it works!

I recieved a fax from "Edward Johnson" today using the fax number 909-907-0730.  I am a Chevorlet dealership located in MD and he wanted to purchase a used Honda Accord that we have in stock.  He claimed to be buying the vehicle for his mother as a birthday gift and was going to have it towed out to california.  He wanted to put a $1000 deposit to hold the vehicle for a week and another $1850 to have us pay the towing compnay with becuase their "credit card machine" was down but wanted me to wire it to the company....

My red flag went up so I asked him to fax me a copy of the front and back of his drivers license and the card on which he planned to make the deposit, to my surprise he did.  My uneasy feeling did not go away so I did some digging and found this site so it is now confirmed.  He is currently using the email [email protected]
