Here is the real ad. The ebay ad is a fake. I have been to the place i Pleasanton and they are reputable and have some of the baddest cars in Norcal for sale.

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...

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.

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.
