Interesting story about the kind of crazy people out there that we are in contact with following leads on Ebay and CL.
About a week ago I posted an ad saying I purchased a Hoha Spoiler off a classic 528. Not knowing or even ever hearing anything about one. I thought it may be of use to a member of the forum. I am going to give you a word for word summary of what turned out to be a nightmare.
My first contact was a phone conversation with "Her', a nice senior person. We talked about how many BMWs each of us had owned and also how we both owned Oldsmobiles in our younger years.
All other conversations were done by texting back and forth.
Day One.
Her: You said you live in Maryland yet you have a Massachusetts number. This is a COMPLETE SCAM!!!!!!
Me : I never said I live in Maryland,I thought you did. I assure you this is not a scam.
Her: Okay. Send the cash by Western Union then,it's right around the corner from me,today then.
Me: Is it OK if nI do it in the morning?
Her: Okay,just let me know when to get it.
Me: OK thank you.
Her: Okay I'm just be protective of myself.
Me: I do not blame you.
Her: Your area code 1-508 is based in Massachusetts.
Me: Correct.
Her: Is that the state you live in? Okay. No problem then will wait until 2morrow.Have a Blessed day.
Me: You also.
Day Tow
Her: Good Morning. What time will you be able to wire the money?
Me: Around 1:00. I will call you.
Her: No later than 1:30 or the deal will be totally OFF. Indefinitely. So beyond that time don't bother to call. I have absolutely no time for 4 game playing.Have a blessed day. And will not respond to any texts. Including calls.
Me: All set. Tracking number 3215798165. Thanks.
Her: LOOK that tracking number is FLORIDA and your a S.I.C.K. Mo------Fu. You r.e.a.l.l.y thought I would have walked in the hot sun for Bull sh----ness?
F u and go suck your Mo----!
Me:
I just checked with your Western Union. I sent it from Hannaford Market Uxbridge,Ma.I am sure they have the money waiting.
Her: DO NOT TEXT ME AGAIN. GOODBY!
Day Three
Me: The money has been at Western Union waiting for you to pick it up. Once you do let me know and I will send you the box to ship it in. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Me: Please pick up the money.
I than checked with Western Union and was ntold the money was not picked up as yet.
Today
Me: I called Western Union and was ntold the money was paid
Please confirm and I will send the box for you to send the spoiler Thanks. Harry

I am sure other members have similar storieshowever I'm sure none are XX Rated.
I think I was more than polite during the whole mess.
