Jersey Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 So you know about this Z e_racer? I searched through your 42 total posts but didn't see you mention it anywhere. Could you lend some more info or point me to another post about it? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jersey Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 Thanks e_racer. I contacted this scammer and he replied, vaguely. I questioned him more, just to find out more information about him so i could possibly nail this @ss. Now i have his IP address plus some additional info and hope to track him down even further. Here is one of the replies that he's sent to me. Watch your back guys...

b__sosick Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 As for that car...It's sweet and all but look how far that shifter is! fine if it's auto but with the four speed manual, they should have modded it to be farther back!

Guest Stoggs Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I was interested in getting this Z. I was like wow, thats a killer deal! But then I read about Austin's Z scam on ebay and found this thread. Im such a sucker... Emailed the guy about it and got these replies: ----------------------------- Hi, First of all,i must apologize for my reticence with selling my car.I love this car and it means a lot to me.I am forced by a bank loan to sell it.The loan does not involved her ,but i need the money and i must do that.The car is like new ,in perfect condition, no marks or need for additional repairs what so ever.It has no scratches, no special marks, no need for additional repairs what so ever.The real miles onboard, a great car ready to be yours. It has no accident or any engine problem. I need to know you,even if that means by email or phone before i sell you the car.Even if i seem a litlle paranoid,i will not sell this car to anyone.I took very good care of her and i feel very attached to her. The price is $3500 with shipping for free(if necessary in the continental US),since my brother in law works at DAS,and he promised me that it will cost me nothing to ship it to you.I dont want to offend you by anything but if we are going to complete the sale we are going to use Ebay Purchase Program which will cover the purchases up to 20,000 USD.Please also provide me with the following details necessary to take a decision: -your full name and address for shipping -your ph# If you agree with my terms,i will need your name and address and i will contact ebay to inform them about our agreement and to start the program to protect us.If this is ok with you and you want me to explain how the process works,please email me and i will do that. Thank you and i will wait for your email. ------------------------------------ Then I emailed him again asking about details and he ignored part of my questions, but did send the VIN number... -------------------------------------- VIN Number: HLS30-14842 Hi, Thank you for a prompt answer.I can see that you are a decided and serious person.Ok, i will try to explain it to you.If you want to buy a car trough their program,you must forward me your user name,name and address and i will contact them to let them know about our deal,or i will let you know my details and you can contact them.They will examine the transaction and they will contact us if everything is fine.You will deposit the money to them,and i will ship the car to you.You will have 1 week for inspection and if you find everything ok,i will come to do the paperwork.After we complete the deal,you will contact ebay in order to release the funds to me. If something is not ok with the car,the deposit is 100% refundable so you will receive your money back. Thank you and happy new year. ------------------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

violacleff Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I noticed a few other auctions with that "no dent, scratches, or problems" line verbatim. All of them were deals that seemed too good to be true. I figured it might be some sort of scam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I'm gonna ask to come see it in person, since I will be in Alexandria later this week... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stoggs Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I asked him about some specifics, and it took he longer to reply... according to him it has like 275 hp, no rust, and does have chassis strengthening. I then asked him whether I should test drive it in Virginia or California, and if I go to Virginia, will I get it for $3500 instead of $9000? and wished him the best of luck in scamming people in 2007. Don’t think he will be responding anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
