Seriously - this is close to my house and I can check it out for you and give you an honest opinion. I will get to check out a H1 in person and you won't have to fly / drive out before the sale.

That in corporate is called a win / win situation. :excited:

Waiting for a response.

Well I will not say that you did not see those rims on an Alpha Phil, they are not the correct rims from the factory. The Alpha rims have black powder coating on the outside of the rims where the bolts to secure both halves of a wheel are. The rims on the truck pictured are the 2004 and prior wheels. I find it hard to believe that someone would trade out the Alpha rims for that of a previous generation, but at the same time stranger things have happened.

I've seen those rims on an Alpha, you can't see the front or rear well enough to see if the Alpha badges are there. But it does have the Alpha lift and Alpha interior.

Most probably a typo or something.

It does however have the correct air cleaner and the proper body gap filler pannel for the rear bumper, and then of course the obvious pic of the Duramax. The engine pic could be from a different truck though.

There were 2 types of wheels that came on Alphas.

The Adventure Package added the 2 piece with the black ring

Well, I finally received a reply!

Hello,
H1 is not sold yet. I'm asking $50,000 now.

Regards,
Roger Turner

My reply:
If I may ask, Why only $50,000 when it is worth $150,000?
Seems too good to be true! Thanks! J.P.

I got mine right away. Was the same. I left a message below with time stamp. I replied about i can let Him talk to banker and i was going to be in the area and could bring cashiers check and just drive it home had time for a short vacation.

He pushed using the escrow as I could get etter rates. How much was i needing to borrow. Imentined nothing about borrowing just money transfer.

I asked to confirm price and will get a chance to check back and see what i get.

With the ad posted that You mentioned on here being 10/14/06 You would think they would be concenered unless it is being run in many papers.

I emailed the paper it was shown on here to see if they had withdawn or just ran out.

I got an address from Him but, it is on east coast.

PARAGON was the Hummer listed in a paper in the northwest?

Yet He gives out a NJ address. I gave Him an offer My banker told me to throw at Him as He is having fun with this also.

The guy gave Me VIN# to run Carfax. But, basicly My banker told Me to tell Him that My banker would pick a bank of his choice to wire money and setup a temp. escrow which He told me He has done many times. Both banks get a fee for paperwork. He will have the bank hold funds and after he meets Me in NJ at the neutral bank with H1 they would complete deal and notarize paperwork for us and i drive it home He could have cash if he wanted.

I told Him I had cousin just get transfered to Pentagon as a JAG for Air force that it would give me and some family a reason to drive over to see them and then drive home. BLah Blah Blah Blah.

Well anyway no reply after that plan was offered not yet anyway.

As I read all this it seems its advertised in one state, located in another, interstate e-mail is involved, seems to be a false address, there might be a phone call involved which might be interstate, a banker or two maybe in two different states...

AND

it could be a fraud...

SOUNDS FEDERAL TO ME !

Yeah, that is what We are thinking Ducky. Banker is having fun and me along with him but, He is a square shooter and i know what he is thinking. If He can figure out it is not on the up He wants to get him busted if we can string it along enough to figure him out. Most likely outside the country running the escrow scams.

reverse it

email him and tell him that you are from out of the country and will need to pay him $65K and that the extra $15K is for shipping and customs work to get it into Zimbabwe.

Tell him you will send a check for the $15K up front. You'll then get someone from an inspection agency in the NE to inspect it and then as soon as he has secured the shipping arrangements and can verify it you'll wire the balance.

You might get an address out of them then. If he balks at the check. Tell him that the check will be written off a business expense account and you have no control over that.

PARAGON You think of the wildest stuff to pull. I would have to have You to write down some of these things to pull on people or I would forget what to do. OH, You are writing it down. MY BAD. :D

I have not heard a word from after I put it to Him the way My banker told Me He would like for me to do mit. Neutral bank of My bankers choosing and we meet there to check rig out and do paperwork and the bank there would then release funds in cash if that is how He wanted it.

So I guess that got the situation out of His hands and in a truly neutral position and nothing back. He had been answering me in short order on each question.

He at least kept the story straight when he told it to everyone.

Heck.. Just pick up the phone and call some of the folks he "lives next door" to and see if any of them know him or if they have seen a black Military Hummer on the street.. Be straight up with them about why you're calling and they might be willing to give you all the information you need.. Which is more than likely they've never heard of a Roger Turner or seen the truck..

I would guess he's been completely spooked by now and you'll never hear from him again..

He was curious if I was still interested in purchasing the H1.

Have cash in hand, Ready to do business
How would you like to proceed?

Of course I'm being very cautious, I'm not about to get scammed!:)

Recieved the same exact contact about the same time jp. This guy is working more than just the 2 of Us I promise that.

Have connection You would not want to know as sevral of the oldes memebers have that have chased some of this stuff. I know You do not know Me from Adam but, PM KenP, PhilD, parstguy, PARAGON and there are afew here who have kept a low profile I notice since I have been back online recently so I will not mention them as they have pulld back for what whatever reason. The memebers I mentioned know of the guys I speak that can take Your IP and tomorrow can tell You everything You thought no one knew about You and some stuff You did not know about yourself.

Just letting You know I'm plsying game with Him with You so continue to stay in touch with Me and any other that would like to after I made request for all to PM Me that would like to. Those that did thank You and those that have not please sill do if You like to.

But, jp this is bogus as i have with help followed through with the most safe way to handle this for Him to make sure he gets His money showing concern for Himorethan myself due to His illness and He has not asked Me to get to him with money as I will be in the naeigbor late this week to close the deal and I really will.

partsguy will be in touch with You as i hope that this business deal that I had hoped to get to hook up with you about will happen after thursday and will fly into or out of Pittsburgh this next weekend. Really would like to get to see You and thank You for all Your contribution to the H2 build. I have allot of big things lined up for it in 2007 but, You knw in this promotion and show world it can be all rosies one day and in the out house the next. Really trying to get the Memphis PINKS deal done to support John Daly's St. Jude Hospital golf tourney to raise money to help those kids. It all depends on PINKS shedule but, I'm leaning on doing it anyway just to raise as muchmoney as posible and maybe get promotional help from the golf end for the dragrace end. many racers come in to play ProAm with golf Pro's etc. Not going to be easy but, if it was then I guess everyone would be jumping to help me help these kids. Rhat is why John Daly took it on as after Danny Tomas jr. died, father of Marlowe Thomas both from acting world, anyhow the cause got dropped or just not covered or pushed as hard in the fund raising end. So John Daly found out and took it on.

Well jp Pm Me and let's talk since We have not.

Anyone that can still help wih this St. Jude Children's Hospital deal or would like to taake a front role with me and Dragon backing you up I'm happy to step back. You may have a better way to approach it. I'm not a PR man.
