Anyone else receiving emails through the website from a United Arab Emirates(UAE-Dubai)member? Feels like a scam...

Hmmmm...... I'll look into it when I get home. More than likely it's someone from the uae that wants help to buy a new truck and doesn't know where to go....

Ask him to wire you a consultation fee of 60k up front and a 50% deposit for the truck which would be an additional 80k with the remaining 80k when the truck is done prior to releasing. See what kind of reply you get.

I was watching the TV news early this morning and in one of the Yemen or Saudi Arabia reports there was a quick shot of a red 3G Ram HD with cab lights, couldn't tell if it was a PW. It was moving in a line with the typical desert Toyotas and Isuzus.

Scam or no scam, that sounds like an awesome truck he's looking for! If anyone builds it for him be sure to include a locker bypass kit. HAHA

I did a short looking, into him and did not see it as a fake. It is common for the people of uae and Russia or other areas to just have a custom order for a vehicle built in the USA before it gets shipped to there location. I would direct him to CJC Offroad as they do orders like that for over seas customers. He probably doesn't know where to go but knows he wants a PW built the way he wants, did a Google or other search and found us for help.

It feels more than just a bit off Pit...I can build it, but the risk exceeds the reward until he can be verified. As this would be the Ultimate Dream Career for myself...it would be kind of full circle so to speek.
