edekalil Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Anyone ever buy from this fella on Instagram Quote Link to comment
slim_jimmy7 Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 I got a little ways with a seller on Instagram with a similar name. Tried to get me to Zelle him money, both his random email Zelle accounts were super shady, and Zelle basically wouldn't even let me get any farther. It was a minimal amount of money, so I was going to give it a try, but I couldn't even get that far. Was a pretty poor scammer if you ask me lol. Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 A NOS "wagon" badge popped up from a seller in Saudi Arabia. I think these badges were only offered on Australian and South African wagons, so a new one is crazy rare. It had a $100 buy-it-now price, so I figured what the hell and sent the paypal. The damn thing arrived about 10 days later, and it was new in the box. I really expected to get burned, but was floored when it showed up.. I've seen the "Datsun Spares" name around. Just curious, but where did you see this ad? It sounds similar to a guy that always has an ad on Craigslist Los Angeles... Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 Don’t do it. Unless you can pay with PayPal as a purchase for protection. Don’t do it. Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted June 22 Author Report Share Posted June 22 The fella was real pushing me to buy what I asked about but all his pics where not anything I was looking for even when I sent him pics of what I wanted. And he wouldn't stop. I didn't buy anything and told him I wasn't interested. He didn't seem to know what I was asking for even with pics. Anyway I passed on what ever he was pushing.

thisismatt Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 Common scam. They are using other peoples' images. Always ask for specific photos, with seller's info written on a piece of paper in the photo. Quote Link to comment

I recently met a guy from Saudi Arabia (he actually came to my shop) that was offering to help me source rare NOS Land Cruiser parts. I was skeptical, but he's been super helpful and for some reason, the Saudis have bought up literal warehouses full of NOS car and truck parts. I'm tempted to try importing a whole vehicle just to see how that process goes. 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 The Saudis got tons left over from the Iraq War the Japanese sent over there. Plus they Love the LandCruiser 1 Quote Link to comment
