Hi all - would you like a 1969 GTHO Phase 1 for a start bid of $31.00 - or maybe just buy outright for $19800.
Wow!! Ebay item #320028358415. This scammer has this to say in reply to a query:__________________ "Hello, Thank you for your interest in my GTHO. The car is in absolutely perfect condition, no scratches, dings, dents or other imperfections. Always garaged. Clear title. Price is $19,800 AU if you buy now. Firstly, I need to tell you that I recently moved to Amsterdam, Netherlands due to work and family. Since I have no more relatives back home, I brought the car with me. I will take care of all transport arrangements. Here's what I suggest: you make a $6,000 deposit in an ebay managed trust fund ( they hold the money until you receive the car ), I ship the car over, you can inspect it, take it to a mechanic to check it out, drive it and then pay the remaining ballance. If, by any reason, you won't be satisfied with it ( even though I can assure you that it is exactly as described), you can return it at my expense for a full refund of your deposit, no questions asked. I think this is more than fair for the both of us. If you agree, please provide your full name and shipping address and I will get everything started immediately. Afterwards, ebay will invoice you the transaction details and payment instructions. All you will need to do is follow through with their guidelines. Thank you Mark Yandell The email he used is yandell98@hotmail.com ____________________________ Hope others recognised this as a scam Cheers all. |

Report the scammer to ebay so that some poor bugger does not get caught out

Link is gawwwn.
I love getting these idiots all keen on email, then I'll turn around and say to them "Don't worry about shipping the car over, I have assoicates in Europe/UK/US who will view the vehicle for me. Could you please give me details of your location and a suitable time for my associate to view the vehicle" They never reply back - never been able to figure out why  If your legit you would jump at the opportunity Last edited by Dave_au; 17-09-2006 at 01:35 PM. |
