    Heads Up ! SCAM !!

    Hello guys,

    Head up, this car was sold by Don at porsport.com as we know a reputable guy, but the car now is being advertised thru ebay, the car was sold to a fellow in the UK, and car is in the UK now.

    Its a scam, contacted ebay, but just in case some one from here wants to bid on it, DO NOT.

    I believe Don has learned his lesson and is now watermarking his pictures to avoid this happening to him in the future. Good idea to post a heads-up here.

    Cheers,
    -Mike

    This scammer is good because he even stole the identity of the Ebay seller!! The seller listed is a real Ebay member with a good history.

    Just to confirm what San says is correct, the car is now safely in the UK. This is a scam using Don's photos. Please DO NOT bid!

    As I understand it, San has reported it to Ebay and also let Don know.
    Having said that, it's still displayed when I checked just now.

    Florida. The transient part/nature of the population that never disappoints. My "squeaky clean" compadres there even tell me how bad it is.

    I heard there was once a shop there that was so bad it "left." Funny thing is that it moved north to NC and is still in business.

    Human nature being what it is, people want to believe in something and a good bullshitter can sell anything.
