I called the number in the ad just to inquire about it but got no answer so i didn't bother to leave a message but it seems like it could be a pretty good hustle.

No way in haitis he get my license, but he could follow me to the scrap yard. License's contain your address. That is always a no no.

[IdahoScrapper]

Paranoid? He can get the same information from your plate #, albeit with a bit more work involved.

Don't blame him for wanting to cover his hide. Scammed out of 15,000 lbs? Dang.

Might be true, but if they did, and showed up to my door they better be prepared to fight.

Seems like a reasonable ad.
Plenty of people have free firewood too. I love working the firewood.
Chainsaw(s) , hydraulic log-splitter (horizontal one is fun,fun,fun)...
But it has to be "seasoned" for about six monthes where I live, and my buddy with the land and equipment thinks it's
ONLY worthwhile IF a tree place will drop them directly at his property
...NO wood this year

Check out "Best-ofs" on CL ...first time I saw them I ROFL'd cause I didn't know what it was.
One ad was for somebody to "haul chickens" (my favorite) , another was "sorry I puked in your purse" about a guy who got mad at a woman in the bar, so his (sicko@SS) puked in her purse then zipped it back up...Another ad for a "porn laptop" that was "only used for porn, had plenty of links but lots of viruses...sick/ Funny stuff.

I called and left a message, but never heard back, I guess they got someone to do it, but I do know of these women and they would not want the information to do harm....I believe them when they stated that it is because they where scammed. The person should be ashamed of doing that to those women.....and should be nominated for a good old fashion ass whooping.

Might have been worthwhile, the "drum" looked more like a large fuel tank or silo.

If they would want My License number I would have to ask for theirs also and a bill of sale. And to be extra safe in todays world You may ask for the Deed to the Property or Lease and make sure they own the Property. I say you can't trust no one today.

I have to agree to this. After all, if it wasn't their's to give, at least you protected yourself!

[GeorgeB]

George you have several businesses, your address is public record.

Not personal address.

[scrapdollar]

I say you can't trust no one today.

You are looking at it wrong.....Trust, but verify!

[IdahoScrapper]

Not personal address.

As Barney Stinson would say...Challenge Accepted!

Did a bit of sleuthing.

I think I found you George.

[scrapdollar]

Ok I know this will be Pulled also because I disagree with you.

But you go take it to the yard and let the police come after you and you tell the police OH The People Gave me the Stuff. Then the Police will ask you what have you got to prove that the place you got it from was the peoples place where you got it from. Yeah you go ahead and operate that way. Most likely before you read this this post will be deleted anyway but whatever. Have at it.

But we are not disagreeing. I think it was very good advice that you gave.
I was trying to be funny.

I trust what they are saying, but I am going to have verification of what they are saying. Ragan used it with the Russians "Trust, but verifiy."

[scrapdollar]

Kris Kringle, If you could had seen my reaction...I was laughing.

oh, also, its Scrappy dudette

[Mechanic688]

Dang Your a Chick? now I have to put you on the list For Respect and not argue with you

First Hoss gets fooled then you, what's this world coming to ? hahaha

[scrapdollar]

You have made me laugh and that I have to say thank you.

[injunjoe]

Not personal address.

You own a biz., the biz. is under your full name, you are so searchable at this point!

If it were not a waste of my time I could find out things about you that you already forgot.
