ebay contacted. I hope they catch the idiot. So you have seen this car more than once? The two listings in St. Petersburg FL is legit. The others are fake. Can anyone give me ideas on how to copyright my pictures from now on? I will let you guys know how things turn out with ebay.

He used your pics off cardomain in order, WOW.

My guess would be it will be removed from ebay within 24 hours. They're pretty fastidious about protecting their integrity.

Hey dude...are you aware that the car you are trying to sell belongs to someone else. And you took his photos from his car domain website. What kind of dog**** eating person are you...the nerve of some people to make money. I hope you get busted for this.

Wow, good catch.

People are scamming on 240sx's because they're hot right now, because people WANT them pretty badly. It's amazing what a desperate buyer is willing to believe if there's even the REMOTEST chance of getting the car. I have a friend who almost got scammed out of $2000 in an overseas Supra scam. The car was listed as having been in California on the sale site, and when he did a Google search on the VIN, the same car came up, except in Oregon. He contacted the owner, who told him his late brother had owned the car in LONDON, ENGLAND, and that for it to be shipped, he would need a $2000 deposit. My friend was ONE DAY AWAY from sending a money order before I got wind of the deal. I looked into it, and after I had done a REAL VIN check, after I had pulled apart ALL the "logic" of the seller's story, after I had PROVED there was no Supra waiting for him in London, he just sat there and said, "Well, I'll e-mail the guy again and see what he has to say about all this." I was blown away, but it's typical... the buyer doesn't want to believe that it's a fake. They only see themselves in the car.

Needless to say, I just e-mailed this seller. We could definately do without scammers like this.

another ebay scam happend to a friend of mine at work about two weeks ago... He was supposedly buying a 03 gsxr-1000 for $3000. The bike supposedly was in Italy and he was using a company called "Square Trade" . For those of you who havent heard of them they are kinda like a "middle man" for transactions. You send them the money, they alert the seller that you paid, the seller then ships the product, the buyer tells square trade that they got the product and ST gives the seller the money. Well the guy my buddy was buying the bike from used his email, phone number, and his address on all the square trade forms that had to be filled out. My friend got screwed outta $3000

Post by **GrilledCheese33** » Wed Jun 29, 2005 5:13 pm

ya, never buy anything from sellers w/ no feedback.

Post by **Chingon** » Wed Jun 29, 2005 6:49 pm

We should have more people like this:http://pages.sbcglobal.net/dum...r.htmh ... um...k.pdf

In a nutshell:Guys posts on ebay that he is selling a Power Book G4 for $2100.A buyer comes in wanting to buy it. Rather than pay with paypal or thru check, he wants to go thru an escrow service.

The Seller figures out the escrow service is fake and just a way to rip u off/scam you. Knowing this, the seller comes up with a plan to scam him.

The Plan is to send him a 3 ring binder with keys from a keyboard glued to it and call it "P-P-Powerbook." Since it's out of the country, the guy has to pay taxes on the laptop based on how much it costs. When the binder was sent off, he said it was worth $2100. The Taxes on it were $600. So basically the seller got the buyer who was trying to steal his laptop, to pay $600 in taxes for a $1 binder.
