Beware the “William Cameron” Scam

• CATEGORIES: Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Mark alerted me to a scam by a guy named William Cameron. Mark said William called him up claiming he had an FC-150, just what Mark was looking to buy. All Mark had to do was wire him a down payment. Long story short, it was a scam.

It turns out William Cameron is a regular scam artist. He’s even been in jail for it, though no prison time. So, if he calls you, tell him to where he can go ….

Here’s what Mark wrote me:

“He calls, says he has exactly what you need. Sounds very old, but when googling him you find he is only in his 50’s. Same scam always for the most part and he has gone to jail for it. Tells you he can not take any pics. Tells you everything a buyer would ever want to hear. His price is dirt cheap and he says all he needs is a deposit and says you can send the rest later. All the while he is coughing and sounding very old and he says he is retiring to Arizona. Google his name or number along with the words “Craigslist scam” and you would see he has taken advantage of many people.”

“47′ Willy’s Jeep CJ3A Project. It was a well known winning ex PRO MUDBOGGER BACK IN THE 80’s . It was retired from racing and became a land mark to find my buddies 4×4 Shop for last 20 years. I bought it while back with intentions of restoring it back to it former glory as a feared bogger. It had WAYYY too much lift and made the 44″ Super Swampers look like donut spares lol so I cut out a full 12” of lift kit and NOW IT LOOKS RIGHT!

Here’s the SPECIFICS: VIN plate still on firewall so I paid thc MVD do a VIN inspection which came back clear. I also paid to have a full background check done on the VIN and it’s been so long since registered it’s been kicked out of the system. Apply for lost title with a Surity Bond person (I have a guy) and hand in all the documentation I already got and you’ll have a title no problem. Or keep it a Offfoad toy. Continue reading
