A guy I know was planning to build a big cube engine, he had been collecting parts and when life changed the project went to the wayside. He decided to offer the parts for sale on racingjunk. Joe from Alabama contacted him and struck a deal. So he met this guy near Kansas City and exchanged the parts for cash......... The cash all $3600.00 turned out to be counterfeit $100.00 bills. Guy is gone, parts are gone, seller has pile of worthless paper....... Bad Deal!
There are many things that were done wrong in this deal. After more research the phone number area code was Wisconsin, the buyer did not want to meet at a public place, rather insisted to meet where ever there paths crossed on I-70. The deal was done at an exit that was one exit away from a major truckstop. The seller did not ask enough questions or ID the guy and did not record vehicle license plate numbers. Also one of those marker pens would have been good to have. Point of story friends.... BEAWARE of who, what, where and when. I don't care if it is craigslist, ebay, etc, we are comfortable in front of our keyboards but don't know who is on the other end of these deals.
