So a buddy comes to me today...

[N2Advnture]

...with an Ebay motor print out for a 2004 Porsche 911 Turo Cabrio - $33,000!

"WHAT A DEAL!" he says :nodlaugh:

I try to explain to him it's a scam but he just sees the car.

So, over the course of the day, we contact the seller and then run the VIN that is listed. Turns out, there is another legit auction that ended without a winning bidder for the exact same car (same pic too) from a different seller (the high bid was $75k and didn't meet the reserve of the original sell BTW).

So, we are stringing this guy along to see if we can squeeze an address out of him.

This should be good.

[earnold25]

very nice. Please keep us posted. I'd like to see how this turn out.

He probably wants to meet the winning bidder in a local Walmart parking lot at midnight to exchange the car for cash ...

Those bastards try to do that on craigslist too! They just steal all the info from another persons auction, then try and get someone to pay using some form of payment thats not traceable. Of course they take the money and disappear into thin air.
