https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif I'm sorry, but I think it's a "scam"! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif

There are a lot of different reasons why you would get a check from your insurance company, and they would definately notify you if they are going to cancel your policy. If you notice, you cannot see the "reason" for the check in his photo.

Besides, if his house burned down, I doubt he would STILL be bidding on eBay. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Look at this auction he just put a bid on TWO days ago...

You may want to make a donation rather than kick the guy while hes down.Ive dealt with him before and have had only pleasant dealings.

Re: I feel for this guy if it's true
 

Chuck I see your point,

but why would he be bidding on car parts??, not cloths etc.... if he really was screwed and had nothing today??? I have kicked in on a few car guys this last year that were down and out, but this does not feal right??, help me understand if I am way off base.

Bud.

Re: I feel for this guy if it's true
 

I agree with Bud. We all know how fast insurance companys cut checks.. If he's got a check in hand to include in the photos of an EBAY scam.. That would mean it was WAAAAAY MORE than TWO days have passed since the house burned down.. yet he's bidding on car parts?? 2 DAYS ago?? And STILL has TIME and a computer and connection to the internet to go and do all this?? Sounds like total https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif to me https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

But while I'm on my pedistal.. If anyone would like to donate to the "help Ed get a project car since he's poor and divorced fund". Please send contributions to:

I could be wrong, but I punched up the local news for the town on the check and nothing comes up..might be older than this look-up..maybe someone near there would no...too bad everyone is so skeptical but all the scumbags on the net who run scams make us all that way...anyway, here is the news section link.

Re: I feel for this guy if it's true
