Welcome to AutogeekOnline.net, the worlds best online car detailing discussion forum.


Interesting first post.


The consensus form our forum members and my own opinion is this is a scam and avoid it like the plague.


Looking forward to your future posts.

• Where do you detail cars?
  
• How long have you been detailing?
  
• How did you find AutogeekOnline.net?

Your next email will be from a Nigerian Prince who has money held in customs, but it will only cost you $10,000 to release it.....i'm just shocked you had to ask if this was legit.

I knew its a scam but I am just trying to figure out how the scam works.

they want your info, they also want to have you make a payment eventually to them, on a bad card they use to pay you, it's convoluted and its basically a really backwards way of bank/cc fraud.

Fist off, yes I did post this on autopia forums. Next off I have been playing this last guy to see where the scam is at. and it is a bank/cc scam.
I have called the number and its a go-text.me number I think the person that is texting is using a translator to send me the texts. So I have been sending him more texts to see how the scam works. So here are the latest:

Me: I found a car lot I can use
Me: Your looking at $150 per car to wash wax detail inside and out
Me: My address 200 se 3rd ave (our address to our local police station)
+15512093246 - it ok send me the grand total for 6 cars SUVs 10:49 AM, 7/10/17
Me: $150 x 6 is $900 how fast don't you need these done. I'm Booked most of this week
+15512093246 - it ok no problem we can work it out
Me: When are you going to bring them?
+15512093246 - but please i will be seeking a favour from you i dont know if you can so we can proceed (here is the scam)
+15512093246 - one week time
Me: What's the favor?
Me: What's the make and model of theses cars and are any of them exotic?
+15512093246 - The favor is regarding the shipper guy i contacted he does not have a credit card facility to bill on me and i do not hav cash ata hand to give him so i will like you to help me add his fee to your service fee so you will be charging the total sum of $2150 when the funds clears into your account you will deduct your service fee $900 and also a tip of $50 as a tip to help me send the remaining $1200 to the shipper guy vian bank cash deposit
Me: I like to be paid before Service. What's type of credit card are you going to be paying with?

+15512093246 - so i have one visa card and one master card for the other
Me: Send me your card number and I'll process them giving you a transaction number
Me: Well have a local bank that you can use
+15512093246 - Do you understand that you will be running through my card the total sum of $ 2150 so once the funds hit into your account you will deduct $900 as your service fee and also deduct $50 as a tip while you help me send the remaining $1200 to the shipper uy via bank cash deposit
Me: Yes. I'll wait for it to clear my bank First. Then I'll provided your driver with a cashier check for $1200
