1967 Porsche 911 2.0 S | Gooding & Company

You think the scammer would at least have tried using a fake VIN

There was another scam on the board a few days ago. A person with 4 posts was selling a very nice light ivory 1965 911 coupé for $67,500. The ad was pulled in less than 12 hours...

Scammer 101:

The reason for the low price is to get full payment wired without delay.

Last year, a scammer sold a (nonexistent) 68 soft window Targa several times over at $28K because people could not wait to scoop up a "bargain,"
