Hello Folks,
I have received several emails from this guy supposedly in Oregon, responding to my ad on landroverexchange.com for this roof rack. I have included the email trail below.
He just sounds really suspicious with the way he words stuff like, "i wish for a prospective business relationship." and "may i know where you stay, why you want to sell,your asking price and the
available pictures as i'm really interested and ready to make payment only if you are willing and truthful with the sales.".
I told him I wouldn't ship it but he could pick it up (with cash), because it sounds so suspicious. Also, shippers don't typically "inspect" before picking up. Do you think I am over-reacting?
Thanks,
Chuck

Hey Mike,I was curious where you saw it, because all of the information that you arelooking for is in the ad (price, location, description), except for the pictures(attached). Price is $690. Location: Gloucester, VA Did you see that it is pick-up-only (no shipping)? I saw that you are in Oregonand I am in Virginia. That's a long trip.Cheers,Chuck
