It sure rang like a fake to me, but this is what I got back from the newspaper department in red below. I am going to suggest to my brother to give the car away free locally to my friend who does restoring, or to our Tech school department who teach car repair stuff. The BMW is drivable, but very old. The next antique truck I am planning to give away, has people wanting it.
So we wont do any business with this guy, as he still gives me the worries. He could very well be selling the phone numbers to a third party.
"The spam alerts when you google it if you look deep into it are from 2015-2016 and mostly for faxes. He started off his business model trying to fax people & businesses not realizing that it is legally considered spam like unwanted phone calls.
And he is as legitimate as the research we've been able to do and conversations we have had with him. As always, I would caution your brother as with anything else to do his due diligence and if anything feels off, I certainly would not pursue."
