Man O Man I almost fell in his trap, but using Google was a powerful tool. He is a mess trying to scam people and claiming to be a SGT. in the Air Force lol. I am kinda sad because I love 4Runners :-(
I copied an pasted this websit to him after he pulled the same crap with me, no response yet, must be shocked to see what we think of him. What a piece of crap. Thanks for the heads up every one.
So now this [***] is selling a 2004 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon on craigslist. He wants 4200 for it and it only has 23,300 miles on it. It's lifted, has Warn winch on the front, Nav system in it. He offered to pay shipping, (no cost to me of course) use the e-bay protection program, using moneygram. The VIN number is legit, he has pics thru google, even has a guy in Houston, TX by the name of Patrick Smith,posing to be an e-bay agent. Even gave me the guys address, 8103 Wood Grove Ct,Houston, TX 77040.
I've been going back and forth with him thru e-mail, I'm so glad I googled his number. If something seems to be to good to be true, it probably is. My gut said it was bad from the beginning.
dealing with this guy right now for a 4runner.. here is the info he gave me (note the incomplete phone number). I promptly called him out on the incomplete number and now he refuses to contact me...\
Brad Bemis
585 Canyon Rd,
Ephraim, UT 84627
801386784
"The vin number is JTEBU17R138006382
I see that you are still interested. My opinion is to use ebay protection program because i want to
take this opportunity to assure you that this deal is 100% legit but you must know that in
this way eBay will require you to send a ($4300) prior shipping and they will have to
verify me, the SUV and you as well before we can close this deal through their service.
Your money will be kept by eBay agent until you will receive the SUV and send them the
confirmation that you are satisfied with the product received. In case you don't want to
keep the SUV all you will have to do is to ask them for a refund and you will be totally
refunded in 2 days. Don't forget that for the shipping i paid all taxes.
P.S. You must know that if you decide to buy the SUV i will need your full name and shipping
address as soon as possible in order to send your details to the shipping company and to ebay
agent to make the arrangements for shipping. Thank you. "
this guy is obviously a joker. I searched the VIN on google and came up with some guy in the Northeast selling it for over 14k.. Why hasnt this scammer been arrested?
About the SUV ? It has a clean title, I'm the first owner, it doesn't have any scratches, dents, it never been involved in an accident or in a flood.
It has only 93,256 miles so the SUV it's like new. Right now I'm studying at snow college in Ephraim , Utah.
If are you wondering how the shipping will be made, i have to tell you, that for the shipping i have an discount at Das Auto Shippers company. So you don't have to pay anything for the shipping. I am selling this SUV so cheap (only 4300$) because I need money very quick to pay my college fees. If you are a serious buyer please contact me as quick as possible.
Thank you very much.
