scam on autotrader

I just wanted to post this real quick for anyone looking for a GSX on autotrader...I dealt with this guy before and he's just looking to make money. He originally posted a black 99 GSX with 103,xxx miles i believe, w/ black interior (was pretty sexy actually). The asking price was only $4,050. Hard to believe, eh? Well when i tried calling the number he had listed, i got an internet carrier signal (you know, that annoying signal you get if you have a dialup connection to the internet)...Figured he might have a fax hooked up to that line...Well i e-mailed him, telling him i would meet him at his house in maryland and give him CASH for the car. He e-mailed me back the next day telling me about the car, and that he would only take money order/cashiers check by mail and he wanted ALL of my information. Full name, address, city, zipcode, county, phone number, cell number. I instantly knew it was a scam and was bummed out because the GSX in the picture was MINT. Anyway i was looking on autotrader again just for the hell of it. Came across a 97 GSX w/ 650hp, 61k miles for $4,090. I instantly said "hahaha yeah right". Clicked on it and looked at the pics...Well the pics that are listed were the SAME EXACT pics that were on e-bay a couple weeks ago and the dude was selling it for a shitload of money....Looked at the bottom of the listing and seen the phone number. It's the same number i called before about the black GSX. From the same location also (Lexington Park, MD).

I already reported this fucker to autotrader when the black GSX was on there and apparently they did nothing about it.

Here is the link to the listing.

This dude needs a good kick in the nuts.

Re: scam on autotrader

I got scammed back in 03 for $250, my fault for dealing with him.

What a douche. I hope he falls into a woodchipper...

Where is good-ol' Chuck when you need him, right?

I saw that exact same GSX on ebay a few weeks ago and it didnt sell (reserve wasnt met) for $16000...what a real ass, he should be shot and then raped by Chuck Norris.

Re: scam on autotrader

I tried the number just to check it out and got the same tone. I wonder just how many people have given him money. I'm sure he has gotten a few already. On a hunch I went back into the site and of course the licence plate has been whited out! Even the woman (and cat haha) standing in the background aren't facing the camera. Pretty high security fence around that yard! And you can see a mini storage in the back of a few of the pictures. I wonder if he's got it stuffed in one while the heat is on.
