For Sale Does this sound like a scam from a ferrari club member

Been talking with a follow rookie number for the last couple weeks. They keep identifying parts of my F430 that we are parting out. We seem to be back-and-forth on several parts and then after negotiating got this today. To me it sounds like a scam. Curious if anybody else has had this happen here in classifieds.

“Deal! Im in middle east but I will pay to you now paypal if your prefer and keep the stuff, pack them and if you can make invoice just to print a paper with your name and address and I will provide to you my name and address including the items description and prices then I will let a shipping company come to you and collect the box”

Thoughts?? Sounds like every Facebook marketplace scam, but from an FC member rookie”

 

In marketplace people pay with credit cards not theirs and before anyone notices arranges pick up and or asks for money back because they can’t pick up. People send money back and they get paid but the original transaction gets reversed. Just curious and maybe because we get lots of scam attempts on marketplace and our online components I am soured.
Guess it goes two ways they have to hope there are parts actually being sold.. I prefer a bit more phone conversation

 

i agree with the above. we ship all over from our other business. many people request USPS because the duties are random and no "brokerage fees" pop up like with other carriers; however once the handoff from USPS to local (Canada/ UK/ other) postal service the tracking usually stops and some dishonest people claim items were never delivered (and whether they are or are not is not able to be proven), so we try to avoid these situations. I think wire, zelle or venmo is the answer.

 

sorry my linguistic skills have offended some. i often voice text/ type, and then copy / paste as I have been removing parts for last few days. Anyone who has removed front ends/ hydraulics and windshields (yesterday) knows the seals "tar" and liquids don't always make for friendly phone / email time. I will try to impove upon my grammer!

thank you sir!

 

lol ha used to it. My wife and sister in law always give me grief for hitting send before I read my v texts.

 

i'll keep you posted but was given a local US name and number and shipping address which has made me feel more comfortable with consumating the transaction. once wire has been initiated i'll ship. Silly how the world has changed and where we really have to question EVERYTHING and unfortunately EVERYBODY..

 

i’m pretty savvy and run an online business. At this point, I feel comfortable enough and he is not in a hurry. money being wired into my account. I’ll update later

 

UPDATE: RF430 was not a scam; just out of the country. money has been delivered and i let it sit 7 days; i have been in touch verbally and via text with the local person with whom i have shipped the parts. All seems to be good for now.

 

No but he asked that I did “clear hood name” as he was mentioned somehow
