Is using you for free storage
might talk it over with a lawyer if you can get one to just talk for free or a cop to notify there might be something fishy going on.
Didn’t you say you already got paid? I think the deals done but I’m not sure I’m knowledgeable enough to say so.
Also if you can run his name on the net and see if anything comes up.
Have AAA tow it over to his address
Has the Zelle bank transfer cleared? Is Zelle a bank, where?
How far away does he live, close enough to tow to?
Drop it his parking lot and be done with it.
He has the title, paid for, it’s his property on yours. If mediation efforts fail, have it towed! Problem solved.
I understand the cash and the zelle transfer are not reversible.
So since he’s paid you, I would assume that he means well, just a poor planner buying an asset he’s not really prepared to receive.
It doesn’t sound like a scam to me since neither payment can bounce.
You can charge him storage. Might be hard to collect. Wouldn’t be surprised if he comes back and wants to reverse the transaction. And then that’s up to you. You might keep part of the payment as a “restocking fee”. But I’d make doubly sure that zelle transaction can’t be reversed before I gave him his money back.
did you get $3k out of him?
Are you fully paid?
If so I would offer to tow trailer to his place.
You signed over the title without full compensation. Consider this a $2000 lesson in life. It’s like paying a contractor in advance. Some things you just don’t do. Forget about it. But remember the lesson.
Why can’t you tow it to him?
I would be more concerned about the Zelle money transfer. Zelle is what all the scammers use on Facebook and Craigslist. Please research the possibility of him reversing the funds leaving you hanging for the $2000.
In the meantime I would recommend storing the camper at a different location unknown to the buyer until you can get it all sorted out. Good Luck
I think at this point I would see if the cash was counterfeit. (if the bank already accepted it, you’re good.
Need clarification. Did you receive the $2000 from Zelle?
Look into having it towed away as abandoned property.
I believe Zelle is a money transfer electronic system. Did you give him your bank account number? Make sure the money is there....and maybe close the account and start a new one at a different bank. If all the motor vehicle documentation is done and in good order, it is his property. Get a lawyer to find out your liability for having his property on your property. Then ship his property off yours if possible. You don’t want liability. Can he live in the camper on your property? Lots of potential issues here.
My neighbor let a guy stay in the guys motor home. First in the neighbors driveway, then parked in the street. Took him over a year to get rid of the guy. It is illegal to park a motor home in the street in l.a. but cops don’t do much.
The guy could just be a naive flake,or a druggie, or some psycho. Get the law behind you Good luck. IMHO, IMHO
Notify him that he has three days to remove it, then have the police involved in towing it. He can settle up with the lot. Videotape everything, get it in writing, save emails.
Buy ammo.
It seems you have been paid, you have transferred ownership
So legally, from what I can see - it is HIS PROPERTY that is taking up valuable space on YOUR PROPERTY
Perhaps you could charge him $6,000/day rent, with a 10/1 date. You can tell him that if he doesn’t remove it, you will repossess it, just as a storage unit would do for failure of paying rent
He already paid you in full? Have you signed off the pink over to him and notified DMV about it? If so, then that’s one of the weakest scams I’ve ever heard of. It is sometimes very hard to get parts for an older trans on used vehicles and the repairs can take quite a while.
If you already got paid in full and did all the proper paperwork then it sounds like he’s really is in a tough situation and you are indeed helping him out. If you don’t like it you can always have it towed to wherever, you’re not responsible anymore. Tow it and tell him where he can find his ‘new’ vehicle.
