Scam !!!

[platas]

Hello guys,

Head up, this car was sold by Don at porsport.com as we know a reputable guy, but the car now is being advertised thru ebay, the car was sold to a fellow in the UK, and car is in the UK now.

Its a scam, contacted ebay, but just in case some one from here wants to bid on it, DO NOT.

All of sellers feedback shows sales in GBP and registration as UK Business seller. maybe someone hijacked his account..

Just sent a question to the seller asking if I could inspect the car...we will see.

[db_cooper]

No reply from the seller....I think you are correct..SCAM

Never got a reply to my inquiry to inspect the car. Ebay listing has been removed too.

Is that even a real VIN? Vin # 9115600202

[ILXLR8]

He changed the last digit of the VIN from 0 to 2. Look real close at pic with the vin plate in the trunk. He copied the first 2 and pasted it to make the last digit a 2.

Just playing with this POS! His email is: p91127@aol.com

Email from me:
Guillermo,
I noticed that the auction has ended. Is the car still available? How can I buy it?

Response:
Hi,
The car is still available. I will accept a down payment by bank wire transfer in order to get back to Tallahassee and have the car shipped to your location. Let me know if you have any suggestions or ideas.
Thanks,
Guillermo

Ask him for a picture of him and the car with him holding a newspaper with today's date on it..

[HawgRyder]

Tell him you only have bars of gold...and if he will send you the difference in cash...you can send him one.

Nice catch on the photoshopping of the vin. They did a really good job of not rubberstamping outside the area of the number.


At least if they can't get work as a scam artist they look to have the option of a backup career as a graphic artist.

Email from me:
Guillermo,
I live only 10 miles away, in Quincy, FL and would like to buy it. I can come over anytime, pay cash and take it with me. When can I come get it?

Response:
My schedule will allow me to get back from Buffalo around the 10th of March. If I don't sell it by then I will let you know. The other option as mentioned earlier is to send a deposit to my bank account I will take some time off to get back to Florida and meet you in Tallahassee. The ball is in your court.
Thanks,
Guillermo

Should I play it up? I am so excited, my Dad is buying me my first car, he is to busy to help me shop, he just gave me the money, How do I get my money in your bank?

[Craig]

Keep working it, I love this stuff, working over a scammer!

Ask him if he has some friends in FL that could show you the car, as you really want to see it. If not, then you can wait until March 10. I like your angle that your dad is helping.

Try the "I really want to just pay you cash on March 10th. What is the address of the car so I can go look at it?" or some such thing.

That's what I did and here's the photo:



Is this scammer serious ?

[llermo]

He said he can't take the photo while he's in Buffalo so he asked his dog to do it.

[GaryR]

Tell him you have business in Buffalo and would love to meet him in person, and personally give him a deposit....
