King Taco

I have a few ppl interested in buying my oem v6 rims w/ spinners & tires.

the only thing is, they are all from like...europe...uk...germany...

i find it kinda odd? do the cars over their accept these rims?

is it possible that they all have 05's w/ the base v6 rim and want mine now?

i don't mind shipping i guess but it sounds sorta fishy

thanks for any input

Dude did you name yourself after the KingTaco place in Okinawa? TACO RICE IS the BOMB.

As long as they send the money first, you're golden. I wouldn't deal with them IMO.

Be careful of checks. Cashier's checks are no guarantee either. Make sure they clear the bank for a week or so before you ship the wheels.

The number one clue you are dealing with a fraud, is if they send you a check for over the price you are asking, and say they want the goods and extra cash sent back. It is ALWAYS a scam. You can deposit the check, but a few days later your bank will figure out it is no good, and pull the funds back out of your account. If you withdrew money for the overage and sent it to them, you're going to be out the overage money, and the wheels. Its a double-whammy that happens pretty often.

Also do some basic fact checking, like mapping area codes for phone numbers. A nevada exchange on the phone, and a canadian shipping address is what we call in the business, 'a clue'.

Buyer/seller beware on the net. You really can't know who you are dealing with.

What he said! I had so many emails from scammers like that when I sold my '98 GT. Always the same format...they make up an excuse to send a cashier's check in excess of the amount and ask you to remit the excess amount to them. With the car, they would say they had an "agent" that would pick up the car. They weren't interested in the car at all...just the excess amount of the cashier's check. Since a bank will always cash a cashiers check on its face, it will do so, and then since you are the bearer, you will be responsible for the entire amount of the check when the bank determines it is fraudulent.

Taco Rice and Cheese with lots of ketchup or Tabasco. I use to live on that stuff. Just so I have more money for MOJO!

To answer Nick's questions. I will only deal with them if they are willing to send me money first.
