'69 Yenko in Canada for $9K

As a follow up, I contacted Classic Dream Cars. Apparently this is an on going problem for them. Secondly, I e-mailed the owner, who is supposedly only 15 miles away. I wanted to arrange to see the car today. You guessed it. No response. Thirdly, E-bay seems to have pulled the ad.

Im not sure how it works, but i would imagine that e-bay is making money regardless of who is actually selling the car. Lets get real, any buisness that cares about their customers would find a way to stop this from happening. There has to be some reason why they let it continue.

Yeah - what he said !

I think the answer lies in the ability to communicate with a company and discuss problems or issues. Unless I am mistaken you can't contact E-bay via telephone only the net. If you could they couldn't hire enough operators to handle the complaints. If I am wrong please post the # and I will call them. My customers call me when they have a gripe or question, ebay should do no less.

Got a reply from the guy. You guessed it, he's in Portugal settling his dad's estate. His dad even bought the car new and it is still there. It's funny, Classic Dreamcars in Florida just sold the same car using the same pictures in front of their shop. They seem to be having quite a time with people pirating their ads to scam people. There were no bids so people aren't too gullible. I guess I'll have to let the guy know what I know about his little scheme.

Keith,
Could you play along with him for another 1 or 2 emails?
He will send you and address for you to send his payment. I'd like to have that.

Got my first resonse from eBay after MASSIVE research and emailing back and forth with my scammer. I sent them addresses, IPs, and even a scam website for a fake eBay!

Guess what?

<font color="red"> They aren't going to do JACK SQUAT about it. </font>


They told me to notify my local law enforcement authorities and they would "back me up".

So Keith, go for an email or two with the guy so I can compile a list of aliases and add his name/address. Once you get these, just tell him you ran the address and he came back as being on an FBI Watch List as a scammer.
He won't bother you again.

I would really appreciate this and thanks for your help!
