1967 Mustang S Code 4 Speed Eleanor 428

  • Sponsors (?)


Car was on EBAY a while back. I like it. The wheels are a little too NBA for me,however,overall I think it looks good. My son and I are in the early stages of a 67 GT350 clone project but he likes the Eleanor's better. I am undecided,however it will be his car. chuck

Looks like someone looked into it and found it to be a scam http://www.craigslist.org/sfc/car/105028557.html

Plenty of fraud going on there. I found a Nigerian who was selling a non-existant car in NY. A dutch guy I know wanted help so I looked into it. The car was supposed to be in NY but the seller would not allow a prior inspection without a down payment. He gave a cell phone number that traced back to Spain. His IP address traced back to London, England. He wanted a prepayment to a fraudulent online escrow service. I warned the buyer off and started baiting the guy myself. I replied to the ad and said I wanted to inspect the car. The guy wanted money up front. I kept hesitating but finally agreed after a series of emails. He asked for my contact info and I gave him the phone number for a NYPD police precinct. Afterwards, I sent him emails asking why he did not contact me. He never replied. Then I told him I was a police officer conducting an investigation into internet fraud and that I was cooperating in an investigation with English police. I told him I was disclosing this info because a warrant for his arrest in NYC had been issued and it was only a matter of time before the English Police got him. I am sure I scared him only just a little.

WOW! I sent him an email too. He sent me some pics of the motor and said he would cover the cost of the shipping here to the US. All for $8000. What a deal. :rlaugh:

the exact same deal my fraudster was pushing. The car wouldn't happen to currently be sitting at a Fed-Ex facility or something like that waiting to be shipped once you have paid a percentage of the purchase price?

one thing that is similar is my rip-off artist claimed that the car was at Fed-Ex and he would ship that way because he had a friend who worked there who got him a deal. The sad thing is that there are people who believe this crap and get taken advantage of.
 
hey, that is the car i bought but never recieved! lol

Love the scams, had one ask to use a escrow company, very quick check showed they were a front. I limit my purchases off the net to people with B&M stores. Just to easy to rip a bunch of people change all your numbers and address. Much harder when you have a B&M store front and reputable name.
