There’s always some scam floating around Facebook, because if there was ever a more concentrated group of gullible idiots on the internet it’s Facebook community pages, but what’s the deal with the car detailing one?

Prepay and they never show?

They show up and request payment before work, then do a half-arsed job?

They get your personal details as being a gullible idiot and use it in a future scam?

Grab your car details, location, and when you won’t be home so they can knock it off? Or rob your house?

My money is on it being an easy way to compile a list of brainless idiots who fall for every trick in the book.

    My brother used to do detailing in his teens before he became a mechanic. I remember all the stories of cunts not wanting to pay ~$150-250 for the job. It takes a few hours for one person to do one vehicle properly. I bet that makes it easier to scam folks on it when they balk at the actual price of the job.
