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.

Hello,

Thank you for inquiring for my car, that i have listed on eBay( 8.000$ with an $4,000 deposit).The shipping/handling fees will vary depending on your location and will be covered by the buyer.The car is in perfect condition and it has not even a scratch or damage, it has not been involved in a accident,clear title and it is a US registered car. The paint is in fantastic condition as in the trim grill, bumpers etc. The wheels are in "as new" condition with no abrasions and the tires are in excellent condition (10-15% usage).The interior of this vehicle has no tears, burns, nor worn spots on the seats or anywhere else, smoke free(I don't smoke).The car drives and looks brand new and has an accident free history.
If you are interested in buying the car please email me back asap...

Thanks,

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.

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!!!
