They offered to pay cash. And, I would really like to see them break into this gated neighborhood in the middle of nowhere and leave with a non-functioning cart. And also get it out of the house while two dogs are roaming free, not to mention the cameras.

She never said he died, did she?

Looks like he's still in the hospital clinging on to the hope of one day driving that cart.

The scam I described never offers to pay cash and they don't ever come to your house or try to get the merchandise. They just try to scam you for the 'shipping fees'.

Did the dead guy offer cash originally?

You're right, I just glanced over it. It was a little much early in the morning

Hopefully he still wants it

Are you open to trades? What would you want in a straight up trade for the Golf Cart?

So, you have the only used golf cart for sale in existence?

This was why I was originally skeptical. Before posting, I saw over a hundred for sale in my area alone.

I tried buying something on cl and when I emailed the person, they emailed me back saying I needed to send them a code. At that point I was texted by cl giving me a code and saying not to share it with anyone.

I believe they were just trying to get onto my account to scam other people or post spam.

Don't sell it elsewhere. The dream of putting around in your golf cart may be the only thing keeping him fighting. If you sell it to someone else and he dies, that blood is on your hands.

I know it is very early, and I'm not sure who this message is going to, but my Husband suffered a massive heart attack yesterday just before breakfast, and my children and I have been here there with him all last night, and this morning at St. Thomas. I just returned home, and wanted to notify you of such. He was so very excited about the little cart. Bless your heart for offering to do that for him. It's just before 5 a.m., so I need to get off of this thing and rest. But I'll let you know something, when I can. I hope this all makes some sense. I'm quite old, and quite tired but wanted to attempt to contact you. I don't even know who this is. I'm so embarrassed. God Bless You, Kind Sir.


This is unlike any scam I've ever seen. Not sure what the end game would be here, so I'm inclined to believe there could be some truth to all of it.

I paid for a watch on Ebay and the guy died. His mother found the email exchanges between he and I. I was emailing asking where my watch was. She emailed me and told me he died and asked me what I had bought from him. I explained it in detail even though I felt bad about it. About 2 weeks after his death I get a package in the mail. It was the watch.

Go to the "high end street scammer thread". I wish someone like that would approach you with watches and there was a hidden camera.

The excitement of finally fulfilling his dream of owning a golf card was too much for his poor heart. Rest in peace big dreamer.
