    Holy shit, I think I got a cold-call from this guy a few weeks ago. He called my work (a performance shop, we don't buy cars) and was a trucker, in Texas, and had a lead on a couple of cars for sale cheap. It was a 69 camaro and something else, his excuse for calling us was "Last time we spoke, you told me to let you know if I ever ran across any good deals on cars for sale." When I told him we didn't buy/sell cars, he hung up on me. The voicemail sounds so familiar, its got to be the same dude.

    But like... What did you do to mess with him? It just sounds like you went along with it until it became obvious it was a scam and said _"no thanks"_ . This isn't 'messing with a scammer' or a 'how to' at all. Messing with him would have gone further, like getting him to meet you places you weren't at or lying about stuff back to him to waste his time etc. What a misleading title.

    The reason us drivers call so much is because we are on a clock and don’t have time to wait for you to goof off. And we are paid by the mile, so we can’t just sit on our ass for several hours and collect money; if the wheels aren’t turnin', you're not earnin'. As for not answering, I’m not sure. If I know the number, I’ll usually pick up. I have missed a couple calls from my fleet manager because I’m either sleeping or with a customer. If I have my phone, I call right back, though. Seems to me you need to contract to a better auto shipping company.

    I answered one when I was doing a job in Portland Or. Posted a Harley Dresser for sale. I reply saying I'm interested in it. Where is it located
    Then the long story about how they are working overseas for some charity group.
    And now it's in a storeage place in New Orleans. Great I reply. I got a buddy near there. He can look at it and verify the numbers. I asked before for a copy of title, registration for numbers.
    Well the paperwork is in the storeage unit as well. Ok again give me location and I will get my buddy to verify
    Well then they say, it can be delivered directly to me,as a truck will be picking up other items.
    I played with them for 3 hours.
    Finally I got bored and said scam some one else.
    No reply after that.
    About as bad when I posted my Dad's sailboat for sale on Craigslist.
    That's a whole other scam calls and emails wanting to buy it now etc...
