Default Con ??????

I know this might sound strange but a guy walked into my place of work on saturday and had to wait to get served, He bought £600 worth of gear.We got chattin and he said who's the Scooby ? I said it was mine, and he said he used to have a classic but had to sell after getting 9 points. We chatted quite a while then he offered me a brand new set of wheels free of charge said they was gold, delivery mileage only, said they had been given to him by a mate who had bought a new Scoob but wanted to put 19's on. Is this a con ? has offered to drop them off at work free of charge. and says he's got a contact that can get 4 tyres for £125 and will drop them off at the same time. Am i being to suspicous ?????

He's got Gold Wheels??

He's giving away free stuff??

He's ordered loads of stuff??

It all adds up to one thing ............

..... he's as bent as a donkies hind leg and wants your babies!!

And by considering Gold Wheels you have told him that you are a closet gay also!!

RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Youre playing right into Peters hands there. This proves your theory somewhat, doesnt it Pete?

Hi
He could be playing the long con!
You mentioned he bought some goods from your company on account.
He will become so friendly with you - and give you free things - that you might not notice his debt creeping up with your company.
Then he will disappear with thousands of pounds worth of your companies products that he will then give to someone else in turn for a credit account with their company!!!
You could get a fair amount of credit/money & products this way!!!
Cheers
Steve
