A new kind of scam to watch out for...

I was sitting at my desk yesterday and the phone rang. Arkansas called ID. I picked up.

The guy starts right in," Hey there. You still looking for cars? I delivered a Porsche to you a while back and you told me to keep a look out. I found some cars and wanted to let you know." Guy talks like Boomhauer, but very smooth.

I decided to feel out his pitch a bit and asked a few questions. He claimed to have found a 79 930 that some old widow wants to sell. Says she only wants $3500 for it. Runs, drives, needs paint, but no rust, etc. etc. Also claimed to have a 49 split window beetle for $1500.

I asked him where they were. He dodged the question. Said he was in Texas but would be back in Colorado next day. At that point I just told him I wasn't in the market and hung up.

Arkansas cell number 501-658-5936. He never identified himself or his company. I checked my records and this guy has never hauled a car for me based on the cell number. Feel free to call him and try and buy these cars.

I'm just posting it so that if someone googles his number later it comes up in the results.
