Hi i was just wondering if this is legit or not?
Hello,

I received your email regarding my car. The car is in perfect condition,with no scratches on it,
no dammage. All the manuals and the original documents are in English.It is made for US market and has US specs on it (speedometer in miles). The buyer will receive this along with all papers and receipts that he needs to register it in his name. He will receive the TITLE,keys,owner manual... It has a Clear Title and it is in Showroom Condition. I need to sell it asap so if you want to make this deal i will need the folowing details from you: Full name and address Shipping address Phone # . After i will have all this details i will forward them to SquareTrade and i will proced the order. After you will be approved to buy the car
from me SquareTrade will contact you with all the detail s that you need to complet this deal.
Square Trade is a affiliated company of Yahoo,Ebay,Kitcars,Carsdirect etc.They develop the program Safe Harbour-Fraud Protection.I am a seal member and that's mean I am backed up for all my adds.I pay them fees for that! Look how they work:

1.I will contact them,and I will tell about this deal.
2.They will send us the instructions ;1 for me about shipment ;1 for you about payment.
3.Those forms must be filled by every part of this deal(me and you) with infos that they required.
4.We must send the information to Square Trade.
5.They will get your payment info and inform me( you will have to send a 4000$ deposit and
the balance after you inspect and test the car).
6.I will come back in US(10-12days) and I will shipp the car to your address
7.Square Trade will send you the shipping infos right after I will submit.
8.After you will receive and inspect it, if you are pleased you will inform Square Trade
will send me the payment.If you don't like the car,you will get a full refound from Square Trade.

Waiting your email with the requested details...

Thanks!!

The silver Supra (#6553) is definately a scam. I've tried talking to this guy, and it's like he doesn't understand english. Now, I knew it was most likely a scam, but I played along anyways.

Problems:
It has NJ plates, but is registered in Kansas
He keeps insisting on using Square Trade for payment, Square Trade is NOT an escrow service. I insist on Escrow.com or a certified check and he just responds with forms.
He won't let my friend or an independent appraiser in Brick New Jersey come see the car.
He won't give a phone number in either Brick or London (where he claims to be right now) so that I could talk to him.

Anyways, stay away from that car. I pity the people that actually fall for these scams. I wish there was a way to track him down and have him put away permanently.

Thanks a lot Edward Petit-Clair, it's been fun. If anyone wants the results of the CarFax from the VIN he gave me, I'd be happy to share. It's all fishy though.

I got the same BS response from that shawn harrison guy with the black supra also, he says this,
Hello,

I am sorry but the pick up and the test drive are not available because i am not in the country i am away with bussines in Czech Republic.Before leaving i had prearranged shipping with SquareTrade so my presence in US isn't necessary.The car is in a warehouse of SquareTrade in US, ready for delivery. In exchange i will offer a 5 day period of testing the car from the moment you receive it from the shipping company.So if you want to make this deal i will need the folowing details from you:

-full name and address
-shipping address
-phone #

After I will have all this details I will forward them to SquareTrade and I will proced the order.
SquareTrade will contact you with all the details that you need to complete this deal and also to see that i am covered by them and that i am legit seller.


Regards!!
This is all a huge scam and there ads should be removed

I saw a scam on the home page last week for a Cobra kit for only $8000. I knew it was too good to be true, but out of curiosity I emailed them and got an almost identical response. I quickly emailed the webmaster and the ad was removed. I would say, if you uncover a scam ad, let the site know about it. I'm sure they would like to keep thier site an honest one rather than a repository for lame scams.

Well I went and got the carfax it says that it is beign sold somewhere in Pennsylvania not in Virginia also the email adress that he uses on the Square trade transaction is the email from the silver supra from this same site!!!!!!! The square trade says Western union cash transfer only!!!! and the worse part is that the address that the payment is going and the car is beign shipped from is somewhere in the Czech Republic!!! not Virginia like it says in this guys ad.
I didnt trust any of this and I think neither should anyone else.

This is a scam!!!! this guy is using the Email adress of the silver supra to sell the black supra that are on this site. I notice that because he is using it in this Square Trade third party money holder. Also he says that he will only accept payment through western union. Western Union on their site says not to send money to someone you dont know because a western union transaction is almost impossible to know who the money goes to. This guys address is from The Czech Republic!!!!!! including the shipping address of the car which is definitely false because in his ad it says it is beign sold in Virginia. I also checked the carfax this car is beign sold in Pennsylvania not in Virginia, I also saw the silver supra on this site beign sold on ebay with the exact same pics but the car was beign sold in another state than it says on this site. I think both supras beign sold here are A scam

Hey guys. About the supra, ive talked to him endless times as well. I pulled the carfax report also. It says the car was oringinally sold in florida, than sold again to someone in kansas. When i talked to Ed he said that he moved to NJ from Kansas. Seems a little odd to me that you wouldnt change your plates when you moved to a new state. He told me he was in London due to personal reasons or something like that, and that he needed me to send him 4k to square trade in order for him to fly back so that he wouldnt be wasting his time. He gave me an address in Brick, NJ since a friend of mine, his father lives in Brick and i wanted him to go see the car. Ed never responded to my question as to whether or not he could inspect the car first. Its common sense guys. He wants us to send 4k overseas via western union where he can get the cash, than have no way of getting the money back. Secondly, why in the HELL WOULD YOU SELL A CAR for 1/3 of what its worth. I wanted to buy it so that i could drive it back to florida than sell it immediately and make 20k on it. Simple saying fellas, if it sounds to good to be true, it is. Here is the car fax report:

check this one out, i played along and heres what i got.. i think its funny when the pics he had of his 1995 toyota supra are found on google when you type in "Toyota Supra"...
this is the email i recieved from him:

E-Mail Adress: cbrbike@verizonmail.com
Apparant Name: "albert carter"

-----------------------------------------------------------------

First you have to know that the car is 100% working and looking
AMAZING, no flaws or dents, no scratches or any kind of damage,no flood
or wrecked
and it has a US clear title,no engine problems,the interior looks
great.
I am in London ,UNITED KINGDOM and the car is here as
well.Unfortunately I
wasn't able to register the car here because the 1995 Toyota Supra
is not equiped with EUR 3 so I decided to sell it to someone back in
the states.If I want to have it registered I must to start an
individual
procedure for the vehicle through the Government, pass several
technical tests and make a lot of changes to the car which are expensive they
told me.This is why I am selling the car so cheap
The car is already at the shipping company

I have to let you know that I want the payment prior shipping since I
will shipp it in the same day or next day the payment is complete .Also
you have nothing to worry about because this deal will be done ONLY VIA
SECURE WAY .The most important thing in all my activity here is that I
am affiliated at eBay Square Trade, I have a a purchase protection
account for US$10000 and i assume you know what this means.In case we
will
close this deal,you are protected by Square Trade. How you are
protected by Autotrader Square Trade?, well ,in case you will not
receive the car as i described to you, Square Trade will refund you with
100% from the whole
amount which you paid me. But this won't be the case.In conclusion,
you are protected. Let me know if you want to buy it, so we can close
the deal asap with square protection for your money. If you decide to
go further let me know asap and When i have all the information
provided
by you(full name and shipping address), i will contact Square Trade and
they will gonna handle the financial transaction for me.
Sincerely
Please email me back asap so i we can close this deal.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I responded:

Will you pay for the shipping to Rochester, New York? How much was it again? $5,000 american dollars? And do you still want the 50% down payment or all of it? I am interested, most deffinatly, how far from road legal is it in NY? I don't know if you would actually know, but im sure there are some modifications that make it illegal to drive.. keep me posted..
Thanks,

Again, i am DEFFINATLY interested in purchasing this car!!
And I have the money ready, so dont hesitate to let me know!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Not too long after i got this in reply:

hello again

Yes the price is $5000 USD with shipping taxes included.If you want to buy it you must make a deposit of half of the amount and after you receive it and test it you will send me the rest

The car is street legal and you will receive with the package all the pappers that you need to register it in your name

Please let me know if we have a deal

---------------------------------------------------------------------
I responded

Alright can you send me a picture of the car one last time.. I just want to make sure its the car im thinking of -- the orange one with the custom vynal on the sides... thanks again -- im pretty sure we might have a deal
(go on google in the images and type in toyota supra, look for the orange on in the top row.. thats the one he was "selling" for $5,000.. yea bull**** haha)
sent him something sayin "yea sure man!" and i got this back..
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey for the payment you must find a western union office and make the deposit and after you receive the car and test it you will wire me the rest

Please let me know if you agree because i want to prepare the shipping


--dont believe this junk for a second

Dear Customer,


I must apologize for the error in the ad.The car is located in Hamilton,NY it is Quicksilver FX over beautiful Black leather interior. There were only 24 in this color made and the Quicksilver was only made in 1998 as well .You don't worry about the shipping because the car will be shipped to your location without any extra costs because the shipping fees are included in the final price. First of all, I like to inform you that the car is in excellent running and body condition never had an accident and there are no flaws on it or any other mechanical problems. There is no lien against the car and the car has not been salvaged. It has a clear title and it will be signed and notarized in your name as soon as the payment will be completed. The buy it now price is $7,400 including shipping costs anywhere in the continental US. There are no other costs regarding this transaction. I recently moved with my family and now we are in Birmingham,United Kingdom. Since I lost my job and I didn't found one here yet,I have to sell this car as soon as possible and due to the fact that this car is an US model the price to register it here is very high,also the shipping to this place, so I've decided to sell it in US at a price that will find a buyer in a few days.This is the vin# jt2de82a5w1002989 . Have manual transmission, 6 speed,twin turbo.

If you are still interested please let me know.

Thanks,
James

First of all, I like to inform you that the car is in excellent running and body condition never had an accident and there are no flaws on it or any other mechanical problems. There is no lien against the car and the car has not been salvaged. It has a clear title and it will be signed and notarized in your name as soon as the payment will be completed. The buy it now price is $7,400 including shipping costs anywhere in the continental US. There are no other costs regarding this transaction. I recently moved with my family and now we are in Birmingham,United Kingdom. Since I lost my job and I didn't found one here yet,I have to sell this car as soon as possible and due to the fact that this car is an US model the price to register it here is very high,also the shipping to this place, so I've decided to sell it in US at a price that will find a buyer in a few days.This is the vin# jt2de82a5w1002989 . Have manual transmission, 6 speed,twin turbo.

If you are still interested please let me know.

Thanks,
James

Sorry for the delayed response, but I'm in Prague, Czech Republic right now and I have been very busy for the last couple of days.Anyway,thank you for your interest in buying the Supra. The car is located in Fredericksburg , VA right now and has US papers. I want this transaction to go smoothly enough as I am caught in the middle of some very important events and have little time at my disposal. I already have tones of emails so I hope you understand that I need to sort them out. The car is like new, in perfect conditions,accident free, no scratches, no special marks,no need for additional repairs what so ever. 6.300 miles onboard, a genuine road runner ready to be yours, but only if you shall understand and you won't make me loose time as it has already happened to me. The price is 10,000 US$ THIS IS MY LAST PRICE.I will not negociate the price. Also, I take in consideration only those buyers who are really interesed in buying the car ,to be sure that I don't waist my time with endless discussions.This way,I shall be assured of the serious intentions.

By the way,if you want to see and buy the car I could come to USA in 10-12 days.
Regards, Edward

he must have 2 different name and same yahoo's email

I'm glad I found this forum. I was looking for a Nissan 350Z and found a 2004 for only $9900. It seemed to good to be true. Naturally I was quite suspicous so I started surfing the web. Below is the reponse I received from the seller about the car. As you can see they are eerily similar to your story about the Supra. The individual claims his name is Zack Alley and he has just moved to Greece.

Hello,
First of all I want to tell you that the car is still available and the
price $9,900 includes all the shipping costs and insurance, so you
wont have to pay any extra charges. The car looks like new, it has never
been scratched or wrecked. It will come with a clear title, bill of
sale signed by me as well and all the papers (including the original manuals and keys)
that you will need to register it under your name.I'm selling it at a low
price because I've just moved to Greece,Athens and I can't drive ithere
because cars from here are with the steering wheel on right ,and this it have
the steering wheel on left so for me this car is useless..they have other standards in europe.
I overlooked the website to see how it can be done securely and I noticed that most sellers accept to close the deal with a third party company secure and safe.So if you are serious interested please email me for more details
Warm regards!

Hello,
sir the only way we could do this deal is like this ..read it good :
PAYMENT : For payment I would like to use Square Trade like a 3rd party.They develop the program Safe Harbour -Fraud Protection. Look how they work :
1.I will contact them , and I will tell them about this deal.
2.They will send us mail forms (the forms will be from customer support team) for you about payment.
3.Those forms must be filled by every part of this deal (me and you) with infos that they required.
4.We must submit the forms.
5.You have to know that the money will be sent in a Square Trade acount and the money will be hold until you receive the car.After you will receive and inspect the car, you will contact Square Trade and tell them that the car is exactly like I told you.After they receive the confirmation from you that the car is OK they will send me the payment infos and I shall pick up the money.So,you have to understand that I can't pick up the money until you receive the car because the money is not in my name. This means a 3rd party
SHIPPING : The car will be shipped from Greece and I will pay the shipping and insurance charges. Shipping will take 4-5 days. This price of the car includes handling, shipping and insurance fees. For shipping I use Lufthansa Air Cargo, service takes 4-5 days air insured with delivery to your home address.This service has shipping warranty if something happend with the car the shipping company will pay the insurance.
INSURANCE : The car will be insured at the delivery service and insured for the transport.
RETURN POLICY : As soon as the car arrive, you will test it and if it does not matches 100% to your expectations, you will return it in max.5 days sience the arrival date. In this case you will receive the full amount back from Square Trade and you will send me the car and you don´t have to pay the return shipping and insurance.
This means a 3rd party.
For I can go and ship the car,you need to make a down payment of $3000 and the rest of the balance you have to send me after you receive and test the car.Please understand that I can't ship the car without any proof that you realy want the car.I need to see that the down payment is available in a Square Trade acount for I can to be sure that you have money ready for the car.You have to understand that this is not a joke and I will pay for shipping and insurance fees until I receive any money from you.
If you want to go on with this deal ,E-mail me asap with your name and shipping address and I will require those forms right now.
As soon as I receive these informations from you I will forward them to Square Trade along with the rest of the details in order for them to open
a case regarding our deal.After you receive the notification from Square Trade please give me an email and confirm me if we have a deal.
Warm regards
