UmmmmOK I think you should play a joke and string this eBay fraudster along. Say you wired the money and all kinds of other things.

Ebay 38K mile NSX for $15K?
- Thread starter Vytas
- Start date
I'm not sure what confuses you. Did you assume that this scam full of BS listed the real mileage? Or are you not convinced that Randy really owns it? I can assure you his claims are legit as we were blasting through the countryside in it last Sunday. Very nice car.
guys,
we can talk and discuss this alll day long, and nothing will come of it. all we can do is hope that whoever won the bid to conduct his/her due deligence on this. from all indication, this look like a scam. lord o'mighty....15K for an nsx? i'll buy it all day long and resell it 16K
who would be stupid enough to wire the money to Europe and hope that the seller will return next month and follow through with it. what if the seller doesn't want to? what next? try to bring the case to court? will it be worth it? and how long would it takes? how much time will be wasted? get ebay to do it? i'll stop here..i've been burn before and still can't get a freakin solutions. let me close my eyes and pretend it never happen....opps..not working
be careful guys. btw, whoever drove a red on the 22west on dec 6th evening....looks good!!

LOL. This is getting really funny. Ingenious, but funny.
Regards.
guys,
just to let you know that i have tested with the seller and suggested alternatives then just the deposit she requested..hereeeeee is her respond:
I think you missunderstand something. Escrow, COD, Paypal or other things
like this are not accepted. If you didn't read carefuly the terms is your
fault. I thought your bank will give you a faster transfer where I will
indicate, not an Escrow. if you are not ready to accept my terms than you
can find another car. This car is like sold, I have my mailbox full of
offers, people that are offering me over $22,000 without excrow or such
things. As far as I can see you are avoiding to pay in advance and I don't
accept this kind of buyers. I am sorry to tell you this but maybe we shall
close this discussion and each one to deal with other parts. I am sure you
will find a better deal.
Thank you and have a good night.

Use your best judgement guys....

Anyone thought of contacting previous buyers to see if they know some contact info. If she shipped something to them maybe a return address and a name?
I also believe the winning bidder can get this info from ebay.

Anyone who bids can get the address info that the seller has on file with ebay. I'm definitely leaning towards thinking this is a hijacked account - take a look at the username it is "breyernsx" - what are the chances that someone selling cheese-wiz or whatever for 700+ auctions is named breyernsx and just now wants to sell an nsx that they were given as a gift from someone else in the family? I think the hijacker changed the account name (which is probably why the sunglasses are on the account) to make it harder for the real owner to discover the hijacking.
Hi,
I would like to inform you guys that this he/she scammer person has just relisted the NSX with the same pictures. Buyers beware!

Have anyone contacted ebay yet? This NSX have been relisted again. VERY SCARY!! I'm glad the NSX I bought last week fom ebay wasn't a scam. No more shopping on ebay for me!

agree.. btw where in Boston u r at?
Wow, this scam is getting very interesting. There's no question that the account was hacked, but what about the original user? Since the original user has 700+ feedback, wouldn't he/she have found out about it, since he/she is such a frequent eBayer?
Anyways, I hope someone can come up with a clever idea to catch this person.
By the way, can't the winning bidder simply ask for the seller's contact info, such as bank account number, and stuff like that, to pretend that he is planning on sending the money?

Another NSX scam on ebay!! http://www.nsxprime.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/007235.html
Another fine example of why the tightly knit NSX community is such an invaluable resource. I would never consider purchasing a non-locar car without having it checked out by another NSX owner. The scammer would've had a much easier time pulling off this stunt with a car that doesn't have such a close following of enthusiasts.
Good job people!

Why not email that person a link to this thread so he/she will learn that we are all NSX owners ALREADY and keeping a eye on his/her fraud auctions.
ANd I think he/she is the one who can't even type english well and the poor loser who do not have $ but to cheat them over ebay.

Wow, this thread is still alive?!? I guess if we're gonna do it, let's go all the way. Todd let us know what up.
Regards.
how does ebay even stay in business with BS going on like this? good lawyers i guess to help distance themselves from taking part in fraud. it seems as though as soon as someone identifies a fraud they should be required to suspend the auction or face legal action.
Tewillis:
It would be great if you send her $1.50 and then a few days later send her pictures of the actual car at different angles than the ones she had and show the VIN# (with approval from the real owner of course), and say "Wow, what a car, thanks for delivering it early!"
