[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My nearly 80yo father has an old 2001 truck that he still drives. It has tons of body damage (lots of rust—wouldn’t be surprised if the frame is rusted, minor dents/scratches), it runs but barely. Twice since summer he’s been randomly approached in his driveway by two separate men, asking if he’d be willing to sell his truck (parked in his garage), asking him his price. Both times he’s told them it’s not for sale, but with this latest man, my father took the man’s number and said he’d let him know if he changed his mind.

Could this be a scam? Why would these random men be interested in this beat up truck? KBB says it’s worth around $6000, so I’m thinking it makes sense for a construction/landscape worker who might NEED a truck, cheap, and doesn’t want to spend $80k.

My dad says he’s thinking about it, knows to get a certified check, etc. But I’m wondering if this could be an elderly scam I don’t know about. [/quote]

This post looks familiar. Did you post in the fall also? Someone did. [/quote]
I did not, but that’s interesting. I’ll have to try and find the post.[/quote]
