It's great at taking pics from old auctions and using them as his own (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) |

How can you tell he's a scammer and can you report him? It does seem suspicious that someone who racks up feedback selling albums suddenly is selling a 914-6 AND wants outside correspondence on email.
Scammers suck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) |

That same /6 was for sale a few weeks ago on ebay, and the seller was asking alot more. Its also fishy that they ask to contact them outside of ebay, and ebay does warn against this!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) hmmm location listed as Akron, Ohio... hmm that just so happens to be where I am from...hmm
Damn though if this picture sure does not look like any landscape of Akron I have ever seen. Mountains and tropical foliage... I think not. If anyone is interested I can email them and ask to see the car in person. Attached image(s) |

As far as I know, if you put the word CASH as a form a payment in your ad they pull it. I dont know why, but I have heard this from many sellers after reposting their ads (all annoyed, of course). Still, sounds like a scam. I would have guessed that back drop to be CA, deserty with desert shrubs.

latest response to me telling him i would fly in with cash tomorrow
QUOTE Hello, Thanks for your e-mail, I will not be able to meet anyone at this time, as my work requires a lot of travel in the country, this is why I choosed ebay to handle the transaction for us. Please let me know if I can make the arrangements with them and they will send you the transaction confirmation. Regards!!! |
