This is supposed to be a 95...here is the link...This guy is a scam! He is asking for deposits and giving different addresses in MO but no phone number and the car has a FL license plate...etc.....



Watch Out for this one everyone.....scam written all over it. I am hunting for a nice FD, but this one is a definite scam.



Me and a buddy of mine have been e-mailing and getting different contact info, he won't give out a phone number, and the addresses are different although in the same state of MO.....They are bogus addresses too...



This car was just sold on e-bay and it's the same pictures and story....he says it's in MO, but there are palm trees everywhere and a FL license plate on it...the owner who sent me pictures of the car when it was on e-bay is NOT the same person!



I did an exaustive search with Net Detective, and the addresses given are BOGUS!! He is also asking for a deposit to hold the car until he gets back from Rome....ya right....



I am checking out the plates and VIN now and will update as I get more information....



Here is a copy of the e-mails (very poor english as well)

Hi again ,



I'll be at home on 12 th this month and i'll stay around for about 1 month. But if you'd like i can reserve the car for you if you can make an initial deposit now , let's say 10% of the car price. I just whant to make sure that you are serrios about this so i won't whaste my time and money ... Thank you ,



Eric

Yes , the price of the car is $11000 , i'm just selling it that low since i don't have time to drive it anyway cause i'm most of the time bussy with my army job. Here is my full address if this will make you feel better :



Eric Kent



320 West Mansfield St. City



New Washington , Oh , 44854



You can also use it to send me the intial deposit , once i check to money gram and they confirm me that the funds are sent the car is yours!



i don't have a phone number avaiable since i'm staying in a airfoce base here but i could call you whis weekend when i'll get of the Base.



Looking forward to hear from you,



Eric





ALSO, here is the Yahoo IM address he is using:



my IM id is : armymans1963



IF this is not a scam, then I am just way paranoid...but he did give 2 different addresses and things just don't add up. He does not talk like an American either....can't spell, and has terrible grammer....now I know that is no big suprise these days, but common...not that bad....and he said there is no phone to talk to him on an ARMY base!? Wrong answer....I spent 14 years in the military...can't tell me that kinda bull and get away with it..



I am really dissapointed that this car is not really for sale...IF it was I would be purchasing it right now...but alas...it's someone trying to rip off some people...



Hope this helps someone....

Link doesn't Work

 

really freak him out & say "oh really? I live right by there, I'll stop on by in a few minutes"

 

 

FARK!



This is the exact FD I planned on getting if only he could reply more than once. It did seem shady, I know they are doing this with Supra's ($12k for a 6-speed? HA!), so when you find a "To good to be true" deal it probably is.



I figured this guy wanted a quick sale, knew that its hard to sell some FD's nowadays, and just moved from FL to OH. Oh well, back to the 93's with reman's (BLAH!)
