Default Possible Scammer

HEy guys, I got an offer on my high roller rc truck, He says he'll pay the offered price and he's away on a trip and best reached by email. Send me an email and I'll make arrangement for the money transaction..

I called his bluff and told him I'd sell it to him as long as he doesn't have a moving company that pics up items like this for clients or is goin to send me a check for more then he offered and wants me to wire him the rest back.. I was already almost scammed this way...

It's only been a day and I haven't heard anything back from him.. So I think this was also a scam.

He has'nt been on any threads and hasnt purchased anything either.. He has been a member only since July 05..

His username is gringoken ID 177980.

I looked up his account and yours is the only ad he's made any communications on. Scammers usually hit a large number of ads as once in hopes one person will bite. He looks pretty clean to me, but as always, you need to protect yourself even if the other member has established history.

I'm gringoken and I'm no scamer. I'm serious about buying the high roller. Please take me serious. This is my first thread entry. If you have ebay check me out "gringoken". I understand the concern so if you'd like I can call you. Unfortunently I'm out of country so it would be easier for you send me a phone number so we can talk. Or I can send you mine in the states and you can talk to my Dad whom can vouch for me buying many many RC cars. My email as you may know is [email protected]

I am sorry for assuming that gringoken was a possible scammer. After I almost got scammed last time I was very worried it was goin to happen again.. I just got off the phone with him and everything is AOK!!!

So Again he is NOT,NOT a scammer!! So just delete this off the forum,please??
Thanks and sorry to gringoken for assuming. Def. made an ass out of me..
