My problem was that between the Messenger and the OP, I couldn't understand much at all. Something about a GT and slapping? https://youtu.be/cz2nuPDBUFY

As one would be able to assume that if someone with 'money' was legitimate they would not make low ball offers and would typically look at alot of the other modified cars that are actually for sale. $15k

Years ago I would string them along for as long as possible and waste their time. These days I just blacklist their email addresses and phone numbers.

"In a PM"
 Either a scammer has signed up Or a member has very bad english  Are you looking to sell? If so tell them a price you can negotiate back to what you want. If not, report it to a moderator and have them deleted (Before 20 of them are on here !)

It's not necessarily bad Engrish, just Asian Engrish!
 Definitely a scam - don't even reply as replying can be dangerous. |

I say name the member who sent you the PM - we'll quicky be able to determine if it is a scam or an illiterate bogan (they often have the same command of english).

EDIT: Now that the post has been deleted, post 20 is my comment. Take it your comment wasn't directed at me?

I think anyone who chooses a name like Belieber - can be considered non genuine. No self respecting man or woman would call themself a Belieber. Beliebers are only pre-pubescent girls. Coming on here talking about a falcon and engines under the username Belieber is like wiping before you poop - it just doesn't make sense. Hulk confirmed. Fun Fact: Recently, when Bieber spent a couple of months in prison for drugs charges (she's so hardcore with her panadol), he was put in a cell with a dislectic 6 foot tall, well built african american man. Why did I mention dyslexia, well Justin inscribed on the wall "Free JB".
