...and me, too. i was playing this bloke, so don't for a second think i was fooled.
bloke wanted to pay me $1000 more "for my trouble", as long as i could pay the frieght guy coming to collect my car tomorrow.
*defcon 5*
frieght is $643 and i could keep the rest, he's ready to DD the cash into my account but needs my account number or paypal account number.
*defcon 4*
cant give out phone number, on yachting holiday and only have email but really wants the car for when they get back. can't wait until return in three days, needs it NOW because car freight booked for tomorrow while truckie is in area.
*defcon 3*
can't give address for forwarding rego papers via registered mail, wants me to "place in glovebox". i said i need a forwarding address or the deal is off, also need a phone number incase anything goes wrong or is missing.
tone immediately changes. i'll be liable for the $678 (not 643 like previous) freight as the truck is due tomorrow morning at 7am, if the car isn't in his garage on his return he'll sue me yatta yatta yatta.

i say okay no prob, i'll get your forwarding address off the truckie to send the rego papers via registered mail, after all if he's delivering to your garage then he obviously has the final desitination at hand. let's stay calm and sort this out.
truckie doesn't have address, apparently. just picking the car up on their way to Sydney, is going to sort out other business before bringing it back home with him - is a personal friend.
well, personal friends generally know where their friends live.
YOU WILL NOT ASK THE TRUCK DRIVER FOR ADDRESS! its invasion of privacy and i've told him not to tell you!
*defcon 1*
please send truck to pick up car. police will be waiting to arrest the driver for racketeering.
