My theory on this - they placed the goods in storage and could not fence them quickly but had found a buyer. Paying the storage fee would kill their profit. So they tell him where the goods are, betting he will 1. Pay the fee 2. Be stupid enough to seek a driver in the same fashion as he found the scammer. Notice, the person who picked up goods for him after he paid a storage fee was also a scammer. My guess is it is the same as the first scammer or in cahoots.
