I posted this in your thread at Autopia:
Generally when someone is lying, they give away too much information. Dissecting his original email leads me to believe he is lying due to the fact he immediately mentioned he is hearing impaired, why does this matter if the 2 of you are exchanging emails? Also, he gave us all this information about where the vehicle was going, who was there, his impairment, but nothing about how he found your detailing shop? Sounds weird. Another thing that sparked my curiosity is this, he said he wanted the car towed back to your shop, supposedly the vehicle was in an accident and repaired, so if it needs to be towed back, then lets just assume that it is still in NC where it was heading (if any of this is true)......so you mean to tell me that between NC and Utah he could not find one single reputable detailer? He never mentioned how he came across your shop, but he just has to have it done there right? Doesn't add up.
Greg am not taking anything away from your detailing abilities, am merely stating that it seems suspicious for an individual to have body repair done and the body shop did not "detail" his vehicle before returning it? (and yes I already know body shops are not detailers, but still)
Something else noticeable, he kept saying I do live here in state (bad grammar) but just those words right there tell me his message is generic and could be used as a template for contacting others in different states.
And last but not least, in every conversation he pushes for you to charge his card and give the funds to his tow guy (which.....first was HIS private company, then later turned out to be a small company who are his friends?) He invited you into a Google Chat to persuade you to complete the transaction (run the card and give him the money so his hands are clean)
I say this is a classic scam.
