ok guys, sorry... I forgot to subscribe to my own thread... I read online and then talked to some people that say the crooks will lure you to an area with a pocket of cash to buy a large item, then they show up acting like someone lost looking for directions, or something and they use this to check out the situation, if they then feel safe they rob you if not they haul butt and dont look back...
I spoke to him several times over the few days prior to us meeting
3:00 pm I called him and let him know I would be in his area at 6. he told me what store to meet him at (a gas station), i told him what I would be driving and he said he would be in the white BMW, then he corrected himself and said Tahoe.
5:30 pm I texted him and told him I was almost there, he replied and said "see you there"
I sat there until 6 before I Called him, no answer, it rang three times and went to VM, the VM was just Latin music and then a beep.
6:05 a car pulled in and was scoping us out, I had my wife, her niece, and two kids in my truck. so when I noticed them watching I checked my weapon and stepped out of the truck, I carry concealed but I had a glock 45 full frame on my hip with a semi tight t shirt over it so the imprint was massive. they did a double take and split.
I have tried calling him about 300 times and have yet to get a answer, three rings and VM.
Short of him getting killed on the way to meet me there is no reason for this.. I did not try to beat him up on the price, I told him I thought it was a fair price if the vehicle looked as good in person as the picture and I would buy it. I was the fool meeting a stranger at a gas station with Z$6k in cash in my pocket and another $2k in the truck. I planned on driving directly to 4 wheel parts and getting some rims and tires..
