Listen to this. Talk about a scammer. In my quest for a '57 Pontiac, I checked many sites and came across one that really piqued my interest. Body off frame restoration. Beautiful turquoise paint and new interior. This thing was super nice. Probably a $20,000.00 plus car. The owner was asking $9600.00. Hmm...............................It was also located in Rochester, NY, which I think is about 3 hrs. from me. I asked for additional pics which were sent to me along with an explanation. I was told the car was presently in Portland, Oregon. The "owner" said he had it shipped there and was going to ship it to Japan where a friend was going to buy it. Some type of medical issue developed and the deal was never consummated. He said he was some type of engineer and couldn't show me the car because he had been called to an oil rig. He claims that he has a shipping company which also offers an escrow account to protect the "seller and buyer". BTW, shipping is included in the purchase price which now brings the car down to $7600.00. I thanked him for the pics and asked for some additional things. I wanted to know the exact address/location of the car because I was hiring a professional inspection company to examine the car. I also wanted a clear title in hand to also be examined at that time, along with the name of his representative showing the car. Well, this was 2 days ago and I haven't heard back. Didn't expect to. This isn't a good story/scam. Not the least bit believable. Do people really fall for this BS?? My mother raised a fat kid, not a dumb one. I would never do business with this guy or any like conditions. I would love to know where this scammer lives. Can't put in writing what I think might happen to him. Just a shame that there are people out there trying to rip you off. Buyer beware as usual, Carmine.
