Notes: I need a part for my 2013 Dodge Challenger. Saw this posted in a Chrysler forum I belong to and started a chat with him. I was suspect from the beginning. LONG read below:
Sun 5:11 PM
Me: Hello I’m looking for a steering column turn signal module for a 2013 Dodge Challenger SXT+
Mopar Parts & Accessories (Scammer): Hello sir, Thanks for reaching out and we apologize for the late response. Yes we’ve got the 2013 dodge Challenger sxt steering column signal module available
Me: Where are you located? How much to pick up? I can pick it up locally.
Scammer In Florida: Alright man cool but it’ll be coming from our warehouse in Connecticut directly to your location here in FL or to our location then you come over for the pickup So you’ll have to make the payment or better still deposit and balance upon pickup. If that’s cool with you then kindly let us know
Me: Where in Connecticut?
Scammer: New Haven
Me: GREAT I have a friend up There that can pay for it and pick it up locally.
Scammer: Then no need to deal with us just send your friend money to buy it for you I guess that’ll be very easy
Me: That was my thought. How much.
Scammer: It’ll cost you 450$ so you’ll deposit 200$ and 250$ on pickup. How soon you want it?
Me: Can’t you just reserve it under my name in New Haven and I will get my friend to pay for it on arrival?
Scammer: That’s why you’ve to drop something upfront like I said from 100$,150$ or 200$. Then we’ll issue you a receipt and give you an appointment for the pickup
You sent
Me: That’s not usually how junkyards work? Locally I can call and reserve a part and they will hold it for me for a couple of days without any deposit.
Scammer: Then you can get it elsewhere cuz that’s not how we work man I know you’re just being skeptical
Me: Do you have a number for the place in New Haven? If I was to send the money, how would I send it?
Scammer: We’ll accept the deposit through Zelle, Apple pay, Google pay, Cashapp or Chime Which of the following payment methods mentioned above you got?
Me: PayPal or Visa
Scammer: No sir I can alone help you accept the payment through my personal PayPal account under friends and family only and send the money to our company account through one of those payment methods mentioned above. Listen man no one is pushing you if you’re not comfortable then get it elsewhere. You can as well send the money to your friend in Connecticut he’ll definitely know when to get it for you Or better still get it yourself locally cuz the way you’re talking shows you don’t trust the process
Me: Cash is king. What’s it going to hurt if you hold it for me and I have someone pick it up with Cash. Part number 1RJ37XDVAO
Someone replied to you
Scammer: (Ignores first comment) Okay sir, Let us know if we have a deal
Me: What is the address in New Haven so I can let my friend know.
Scammer: You still haven’t answered my last question man, And the address will be on the receipt once we confirm the deposit
Me: Can you take crypto?
Scammer: I’ll accept the crypto with my wallet then send the money to our company account
Me: (SENT GRABIFY LINK) Page Not Found - PayPal
(NOT FLORDIA OR NEW HAVEN)
Scammer: What is this man?
Me: Your location scammer. You have been reported
