Hello. I am a registry member (#427) and have frequented the site but not posted until now.

Perhaps many of you know about the internet scams out there, but I wanted to post so no sellers here fall victim. Also would have posted in the classifieds section, but thought more exposure here.

I have received dozens of e-mails from abroad wanting to buy my car advertised in this site and another early 911 site. All of them involve purchase of the car unseen. Typically here's how they work. Funds will be received in excess of agreed amount via wire, personal check or other seemingly valid form of payment, including cashiers check (counterfeit). I don’t believe there is ever any intention to pick up the car, but I may be wrong. The “buyer” will ask for excess funds wired to a shipping agent (fake).

If you are involved in this type of transaction, do not under any circumstances re-route or wire funds back. Your bank may clear the funds, but ultimately find the transaction to be counterfeit.

Most of my scam offers have originated from the UK, UAE, and the Netherlands or so they say… Most are written in broken English, or appear to be form (i.e., Dear Sir / Madam). A lot have fastermail.com and graffiti.net addresses.

I have not lost anything but time, however here is a link to people that have been duped.
