-- It really is a dangerous activity.. I got done when I tried to buy a laptop that never turned up. So gathered up info and handed over to detectives and they arrested the guy. I attended court but the judge decided to award 300Hrs community serivice - No Restitution - so the guy made $20000 from myself and 9 others he ripped off at the time. The Justice System Sucks ! I still know where he is -- Makes you want to go and clean him up.

Cheers,
Steve

 

someone offer him $20,000 out right and ask for his bank details

should help trace this guy down easier.

 

see my latest bid on it ebay won't like me now

 

The scammer sold the car to me!!!

Been having a little chat with our mate. Now where's my car!! Here's how I went:

Great car for sale on e-bay. Do you have any more photos you could e-mail me? I can't wait to start bidding on it!

Sorry to hear about your personal problems.
Any idea how much transport is with Lufthansa? Is the car a 2 seater as this would be cheaper to freight than a 2+2?
Just trying to get an idea of associated costs. I am still very keen. My next e-mail will contain my offer and e-bay bid.
Mike

So where is the car located now if it has to be freighted?

I hope your personal problems in CA are clearing up. I hear there's a lot of them going around this time of year.

Okay, I'm interested. Please let me know what conditions you have so that I can arrange bidding and financial issues.

Ok, I understand. How can I arrange payment? Do I have to wait for the bidding to end or can you pull the auction if I pay now?

Does this mean that you are offering the car to me then??

And then I get the fake Ebay e-mail asking for me to deposit $5000 into his personal bank account and giving his assurance that the transaction has Ebay's safety net. Of course, you never have to visit an Ebay page...and you'll never see your $5k or my nice shiney Black Zed I just bought

and it goes on and on and on....

 

the clown can't even spell

Here's his email address if people would like to send shit to him erin_marshall22@yahoo.com

 

Hehe, I've just bought it too !!! See my reply below

OK, ... Just need to clarify one small point ... How can you be selling this car and taking deposits when the car is in Australia? I and about 200 other's ACTUALLY KNOW THE OWNER AND THE NEW BUYER. (neither of whom are you!!)

Hey einstein ...your exploits are being watched by ohh, about 3-400 amused fellow aussies in numerous forums (many of whom have been playing you along like me).

Your actions and details (including IP address, local ISP, your current location and a few other 'details' your computer has willingly provided) have been forwarded to every Zed forum I know of around the world (18), the local fraud authorities and those in your location too and Ebay. This should put an end to this particular fraudulent sale...

If you had bothered to put two and two together, you would have realised that this is an Australian car owned by a fellow Australian whom we know sold to a fellow Australian a few weeks ago... Next time you want to sell something that doesn't belong to you, try to do it to someone not from the same country ...

Oh, and don't try to sell zeds anymore as we are all a very tight group and some of us aren't as nice and polite as I have been ...

Thank you for your reply .....This is how we will make it happen.I need a deposit of 5000$ to start the deal.You will send the money with WireTranser via WesternUnion.
When I left the Au I deposited 20000$ Au at Ebay.I did this because it is very difficult to deal with eBayers and make them feel safe when a long distance is involved.So if anything goes wrong with our deal,even if I doubt it will,you will get a full refund from the deposit I mentioned. I will notify EBAY about our deal and they will contact you with the terms.I espect your email whit your full details and the shipping adress.Waiting for your e-mail ASAP.

 

Hey I bought it first!!!

And now he's getting pushy!!!

And then today:

So then:
Hey WANKER!!!



You really think I'd buy an Australian car (that I know the owner of) off of a complete TOOL that can't work out if he's in the USA or UK. Lufthansa Airlines Freight that you'll pay for...what a joke!!! Oh, and use a spell checker on your "authentic ebay e-mail".

Next time you want to SCAM someone I'd suggest you pick a car that doesn't have a close community behind them. As I'm sure you've already been informed, your details have been forwarded to all 300zx members around the world and I have already reported your e-mail and IP address to ebay and other International fraud squads.

I hope your "personal problems" just got a whole lot worse.

 

I just emailed this turd - perhaps we all should

What a dumb prick:LOL:

 

Many thanks to all the members

who have got behind me on this sale. It's great to see this sort of support from people, even with all the ebays scams that came with it. A very sincere thankyou to all of you.

Even with the Zed now gone to a new home, I hope to stay with what I consider to be one of, if not the best online community.

Thanks again.
Paul
