I just got this e-mail back from the REAL guy that has that Yenko Clone. Somebody got screwed by it.

Here it is:

some guy just called us and said he gave the 2500 dollar deposit and
wanted
the car. we're like man you need to contact eBay. It is bad for
people
that don't know they can't buy cars like that for 6900.
what a drag.
Tony

Too much....what's a car guy's world come to? . Pretty clever the fake eBay setup though....I tried clicking on a few things but they're either duds or ask for your eBay password! . Too bad on the duped buyers....the real price actually looks like a pretty good deal! ~ Pete

[SSJunkie68-69]

I am not that far away from Towson. Give me the address and I'll stop by.

[vette1969]

dont have a address thats all i was sent in the email.might be in the phone book.sorry to here the fellow that sent $2500 got burnt but people should realize that you cant buy cars like these for $6500.i look on ebay all the time and you see the same type of auction pop up.last one i saw was a L88 vette with a buy it now for $8500 which we all know is nuts.

[Rainer]

skierkaj - how did you come across the "ebay" listing? Since its fake I'm guessing you found a link to it on a classified site, yes?

If so, these guys have found a way to do this outside of ebay so the "auction" doesn't get shut down. Place an ad on an enthusiast site and include a link to your fake ebay auction that's hosted on some anonymous site, get some sucker to bite and then email him posing as ebay to tell him how to complete the transaction. These guys must be making a killing.

I always figured these idiots were just collecting e-mail addresses. How niave of me. Damn! The guy should have called the cops and had them catch the guy picking up the money but my guess is, he was long gone before he realized it.

Hope it wasn't the guy at the top of this thread. I was also wondering how he got to the ad in the first place.

Hmmmm...

Check these guys out. Same host as the original E-Bay scam ad. These boys are making a killing on all kinds of cars. Same $2500 required deposit.

Also, after further thought, the only way a person contacted the actual owner of the Yenko clone (Streetdreamstexas) was by using my link. I think the original poster was the one who got stung. Sorry dude.
