Somebody contacted my folks out of the blue offering to trade a 2008 Lexus RX 330 for my mom's 2004 because the 2004's are cheaper to ship out of the country.

I asked my dad why he didn't think this was a scam and he said the guy sent pictures and has been talking to him for a month.

I started yelling at him like he used to yell at me when he thought I came home drunk.
Why the hell wouldn't this guy sell the 08, buy an 04, and put the difference toward shipping? What kind of car guy would wait 2 months for them to make a decision? Why did it take a month for you to tell me about this?

I'll feel bad and apologize if it's not a scam but it's a scam, right?

Tell your dad even a Complete Idiot could recognize it was a scam.

Lol, I texted him this morning & he agreed the deal felt a little scammy.
I then reminded him that he's friends with the Chief of Police & he should turn any further negotiations over to them.

This might be good.
