The Team Camaro forums were filling up with reports of these ebay scams. I created a sticky thread to try to keep them all in one place. There are still many not using the thread but check out just how much of this has been going on!! There are also some good pointers for recognizing the scams... http://www.camaros.net/forum/ultimat...c;f=2;t=008068

buyers beware!!

And it's not just cars. Someone tried the same thing with a Ramjet 502 engine somebody had for sale. All they really want to do is get that $1000-2000 deposit from somebody and they're gone.

LAST NIGHT AROUND 9;30 ON (4-04-04) I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM A MEMBER OF THIS SITE AND WAS ASKED IF I LISTED MY 1969 MOTION VETTE FOR SALE ON E-BAY? I SAID NO. HE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME IT WAS MY VETTE ON E-BAY AND INFORMED ME OF THE SCAMS THAT HAVE BEEN GOING ON. I THEN CHECKED E-BAY AND SURE ENOUGH IT WAS MY CAR. THE PICTURES AND WRITE UP WAS EVEN MINE FROM MY COLOR BROCHURE I HAVE BEEN GIVING OUT. IT WAS LISTED FOR A 24 HOUR SALE AND WAS ONLY RUNNING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES WHEN I SAW IT WITH 185 HITS ALREADY. I THEN SCRAMBLED TO CONTACT E-BAY TO HAVE IT REMOVED BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL SINCE IT WAS SUNDAY NIGHT.I THEN WENT BACK TO SEE THE LISTING AGAIN AND IT WAS GONE. WOW, WHAT IF SOMEONE GOT EXCITED (LIKE WE ALL DO WHEN BUYING SOMETHING NEW) AND SENT THIS SCUMBAG A DEPOSIT. BE CAUTIOUS AND LETS CONTINUE TO STICK TOGETHER. THANKS KELLY K. FOR YOUR CALL. MIKE R.
