Yet another car scam - "Flip Nicklin"
Some guy is posting fake car and motorcycle ads and using a fake gmail account, posing as a real person named Flip Nicklin. Even use his photo and links to his work website at National Geographic. Then run a scam through some fake shipping website.
Thought I'd post this so when they try it again and people google the name this comes up as a warning. (ps not my first post, changed names as part of an internet house cleaning project)

I will hand the car over to whoever puts a stack of non-sequential $100 bills. I will not deal with a shipping agent, unless I contact them.

And here's the fake shipping company: uShip Door2Door | Ready, Set, Done
Conveniently named something very similar to a real company, uship door-to-door.

Hi guys, I guess is not the same person with Mr. Flip Nicklin (flipnicklinphoto@gmail.com) because I dealt with him two weeks ago and I received the car. It is a good person and serious. Everything went smooth. We used uShip Auto company.

Credibility of the Nicklin post?
Can anybody provide additional insights or credibility on Flip Nicklin? It seems that there are two opposing perspectives here regarding Flip Nicklin.
