Does anybody know this scam?

Quote from nutmeg:

That was one of my thoughts but more likely it was vin cloning, (you can google it). The guy just wants the vin number for a stolen car or to sell the vin number to someone else.

On the flip side though, I was driving through the country side and I saw a junker in a guys yard (it was some muscle car but in bad shape), I stopped and offered him $50 for the car. He said he'd rather set in on fire than take fifty dollars, I asked him of I could watch. He said f off and I gave him the finger and left.

Are ya thinkin' that you just may have lived long enough?

So just late this afternoon, more developements.

The wife and I were out part of the day, as soon as we get home a tan Suburban pulls up and a guy hops out asking if I want to sell that Volvo. I entertain him for a few minutes. His story is he is looking for a car for his kid brother. I told him I just wouldn't feel right selling someone the car thinking they are getting something they are going to be able to depend on. I said thanks but no thanks and sent him on his way.

Why does everybody want my piece of shit car?
