Of course, a quick search of the VIN she provided on google gave me a whole bunch of listings. The photos matched, but the prices and the seller did not. Apparently, the real listings were for a car that is selling for $38,000 by a certain Mr. Tachibana.
I emailed Mr. Tachibana to let him know that his car was being used in scams, and my question to you is, what should I do to this "Jeni" person, if anything? All I have at this point is "her" email addy and a phone number that I haven't tried to use yet. "She" may very well think that I'm still interested in the deal, so I might be able to get more info out of "her." What can I do to "teach 'her' a lesson" as it were? Any ideas? |
I'm not sure if you'll like my advice, but I'd suggest the best way to deal with scammers is to ignore them. You could waste weeks or months teaching them a lesson, only to have ten other scammers pop up in their place. If you want to buy a Supra, I'd suggest you focus 100% on that. Just mho.
Also, thank you for sharing your information on this particular scammer. Hopefully she doesn't get smart and find a way to make her ad look legit! Your "teaching her a lesson" might inadvertently provide her with info she needs to become a better scammer.
Again, I'd suggest you ignore her.
