wow I'm new here and I'm trying to buy a supra, and I came by one of these ads, that I couldn't resist I email him for more info... I found this ad on ebay. Thank god for this thread, I would have went for it.

Lol
 

Long time have i seen those ever since i got in the market for a Supra.. man and well i didn't have anyone else advice but what i did Do was Google it... Google will search the whole net for any reports on the supra and the Story there was a site i stumbled upon and it had various postings of scams and the people who fell for them and the amount they lost... i guess they are trying to track the Person (people) responsible for it.. honestly if they find him/her.... :sadwavey:i can only imagine.

best way to check for scams is to Research.. and as a 20year old i can honestly say ... all i need is a slight amount of proof to drop the bait. then again i go by many old phrases and sayings. " if it's to good to be true, it probably is"

but hey some people say i got an old soul so, it may not apply to all kids

Scams by Scums
 

I told one of these guys to open an escrow to transfer title at the Chartered Bank of London and have them contact me. It's fun to hear the bullshit reasons they come up with as to why they cannot comply with sensible suggestions.

The internet cafes in Lagos, Nigeria are full of these losers. They do, however, have a degree of entertainment value. Many people enjoy "playing" them.

:stupid:

i am in car sales and received one of these emails from someone in Italy looking for cars to buy....you would not believe the interest he expressed in the "phantom" 1972 Ford Pinto wagon for $15,000 that I emailed back to them...heh heh..scammers!

Oh boy, I can't believe some people still fall for the same old scams. I guess it just comes down to what one guy said earlier on, about being young, having the cash burning a hole & wanting a Supra more than anything.

You can ALWAYS tell these scams though, simply by the godawful grasp of the English language that the "seller" has i.e. "payment will be done also in here" or "We can talk upon the time about the price but i think i choose the right one" or even "The car is registered in United States and it has clear title.You will get from me the keys the title and all documents to register the car in US," (These examples all being from one single scam!)

That last one cracks me up, it's registered in the United States & you will get the documents to register it in the U.S. Where's the U.S. when it's at home, U.(nder the) S.(ea)?

It's a shame that the companies used to facilitate these arsehole's scams don't do more to protect people & it begs the question (especially with the obvious damage scams do to their reputation) if they, or more specifically whoever actually owns/runs these companies, are getting something out of it themselves.

For example could Square-whateverit'scalled or others be run in the U.S. but be owned/managed from an office in say, Nigeria, where the main man not only collects his legitimate salary from the legit. side of his business (and keeps the authorities happy/their backs turned, over there by donating large percentages of this "clean" money to worthy causes etc.) whilst also collecting a share of the odd 5k/3k/1.5k cheques/drafts that his friends "Jason" and "Dave" et-al procure from the poor, trusting individuals who just wanted a bargain supercar?

Conspiracy theory I know, but the amount of "effort" these companies devote to stopping/catching scammers compared to what their policies say really does make me think. Maybe it should make you think too? :squint:

Defiantly Different

OMG! Hommer's selling his car?!?! He's definitely got an odd sense of how things should be done... he is/was a regular over a supramania. Wow, I'm stunned, I never thought he'd throw in the towel.

Indeed it is, then again makes me wonder how many people i can scam. Its kinda sad.

8K TT Supras
 

Damn, Shows you how out of the loop I am I had actually thought the price had come way down on these cars but I would not have been stupid enough to pay a deposit under those terms.

Most of the time you can just put in the vin number and see where the car was being sold on some site like speedforsale.com. They even use the same pictures, I get that a lot, I like screwing with them though, and you would be surprised if you tell them that you are getting an loan and the loan company wants a copy of the title emailed to you they will give you some edited title. Its funny when they say its a Texas tag and the state stamp says Iowa. Also they normally don't think about changing the peoples names as far as the gov officials that are on the things, look up the persons name and see if they are even an official for the same state as the title says its from. Ill have to dig out some of the stuff I have and post some of the fake titles I have gotten.

Btw my favorite was the guy that I could not call because "I run my own business and my phone is tied up all the time with internet" haha dial up home business hu:dunno:

The best one is a friend of mine was selling his car and the guy sent him a fake money order for $7000 and he wanted $3000 for the car, he said it was a mistake and wanted him to western union the money back to him so he could come pick up the car. So my friend told him he didn't like using western union and if the guy sent him $5 he would put the money in a box and mail it back to him. The best part is is got a $5 bill in the mail a week later with a return address in Alabama, so that was given to the police and don't know what happened from there.

lol lol lol , hey good good topic, I visit my self every day craiglist and ebay " every fricking day" looking at the supras for sale. man if you now about scam you will pee your self :roflwtf: when you see this stupid people trying to sell something they dont have, most of the time you will see that their e-mail is from gmail and theres no address or phone # , pleople please try to frick with them but not get used to do it a lot because remember they have your e-mails. I have the addiction of just looking at this monsters on wheels that I can tell when theres a new one for sell . TAKE CARE MY SUPRA FRIENDS. Q

ps : BURN RUBBER NOT THE HEAD GASKET!!!:bigthumb:

i justread those emails and got a quick laugh
