So now the pastor is using a new scam lol

Why would anyone ship one car to another state or anywhere to be wrapped.

Once they got your CC# they also have routing # then drain your account

That is one ugly wrap design besides

I think the kerning on the droplets is a little loosey goosey. Good weight distribution on the rest of it. Good job...... :thumb:

My reply......

Good day John Bench! I am sure we can work with your arrangements, that is if you agree to ours as well. Our shop is very busy so taking walk-in vehicle wraps can be difficult. So this is my solution. We are within driving distance of Walt Disney World, I'm sure you've heard of it. All you have to do is tow your vehicle to the Walt Disney World parking lot. The driver will have to pay $10 to park it but I don't mind paying that back to you. I'll leave it in the glove department inside of your vehicle. So now that we've taken care of vehicle drop off, all you have to do is email me which lot # and which park the vehicle is at. That is important! Oh and of course leave the keys underneath the drivers side mat. But before we make plans of getting your vehicle to my shop...

Wait a minute, Johnny Bench.... Johnny Bench ! Your famous ! Aren't you in the baseball hall of fame ??? !!!! Big Red Machine !!!! I miss those days Benchy ! Why wouldn't you want to wrap your Camry in RED. Get it? RED... ok enough with the jokes. Why are you even driving a Camry anyway? Aren't you rich? I mean, you do have multiple World Series rings. I'll trade you a wrap for your rings. ok ok, thats a little steep. Maybe a wrap for a signed game worn jersey? Hey let me know, just reply back with information how I can get ahold of you.

may peace be with you,

we reply again,
As stated before, the vehicle needs to be brought by the office for inspection. At that time the details will be reviewed and an estimate will be provided.



Third Email
Ok thanks, I would need you to understand me clearly now because as I’m chatting you presently in hospital recuperating from the secondary trauma of the urethra to fall astride, I hit my private while riding power bike. I’m ready to move on with you, I would like to make a deposit of $2000 for you to get any materials needed before tha vehicle get's to your office and do you accept credit cards for payment also with what processor, cause i had some bad experience with some e.g Square, Paypal?

Now it is how rediculous can we get on requirements before they stop communicating

I sell signage and signage accessories.
Make sure you send condolences to his "boys"... as often as you can.

Maybe add a similar story, involving a spiked fence, multiple surgeries, and your final decision to give up and just go full transgender.

Next thing you know, they'll all start sending photos of Sacha Baron Cohen with the requests. We get our share of these and usually the bad grammar is the tell tale sign to ignore it. The slightest hesitation we sense in bringing the vehicle in for measurements and photos is usually where we end all communications.

Hopefully, nobody is opening any .zip files or attachments of the vehicle's images to quote from.

"Also with what processor...?" :banghead: **giant red flag emoji needed** Ah, no problem. We stopped taking cards after reading that you had problems with those processors. We are now cash only as we do not want to have problems with those payment processors. Thank you. Look forward to taking your money.

I don't hate paint, I just overlay it.
They always wanna know if you accept credit cards as a form of payment. ( Or what type of cards)
They wanna know if you are the owner and they are always in the hospital with some shit.
Weirdly i always get multiple scam emails and text messages (!) at the same day(s) from different numbers and emails. They all say the same stuff with the same spelling errors. Like "I will like know" and "vehicle letting"
