I almost fell for it. It seemed like such a good deal I was going to buy it just to resale it and make some cash. Its a scam. Here are my emails and his

ME:
Hello, That is one nice crx you are selling. I am curious if the car has had paint or bodywork done to it. Normally there is rust around wheel wells ect. I have some questions if you dont mind answering them for me.

Does the sunroof work?
Is there any rust bubbling on sunroof or the bottom inside edge of doors?
Is the climate control uncracked?
How did you go about lowering the car?
Any water leaks into the interior you are aware of?
Do you have a carfax on it. Clean title?
What is the actual mileage on the car?
Any shift grinds?
What is the condition of the seats?
Any engine running issues like smoking, knocking, or ticking?
Do the brakes squeek?
why are you selling it?
Where are you located and is there a good time to take a look at the vehicle?



SCAMMER:
Hello,
The price is $2800.
This car is a real 'head turner' and it will make you proud, it is in excellent condition,never been involved in accidents, 155,800 miles, VIN:JHMED9367LS012426 ,clean and clear title,no mechanical problems,no scratches,flaws or any kind of damage,all functional and it will need nothing in the near future.
I have the car sealed at DAS terminal in Miami, FL ready to be shipped out will take 4-5 days through DAS and it will be free,my previous buyer(his loan did not get approved)already paid for it and DAS didn't want to refund him the shipping fee. So you will not be charged for shipping!
I cannot meet face2face I have a new job in Tucson, AZ I would like to use Autotrader Vehicle Purchase to take care of this deal, smooth and safe. Let me know if you have any other questions, hope i didn't miss anything.

Thank you, Melvin.

ME:
I will buy it from you no problem. But to be honest the whole deal with the das terminal and arizona job ect sounds pretty FISHY.
So to keep it simple bring me the car and I will pay you. Thanks, Paul

Here is how it works if you have never used Autotrader.
You send me your full name and your shipping address so I can initiate the transaction.Autotrader contacts you with further details regarding the payment and shipping process.You submit the payment to Autotrader, Autotrader confirms the payment and asks me to release the shipment.I ship the car which should be at your door within 5 business days.You have a 3 days inspection period before you confirm the deal and Autotrader forwards the payment to me or you cancel the deal and you get your money back and return the car free of charge.
Basicly Autotrader holds your money safe until you confirm that this car is what you have been expected and you want to buy it. It is not a sight unseen deal.
On the other hand I can ship my car knowing Autotrader has your money and you won't disappear with my crx. We are both covered.Sorry for the long emails I have tried to touch all bases.

Thank you, Melvin.

ME:
Yes I will pay you the $2,800. Dont worry I can pay 500 for shipping too. Just have someone come by my house to pick Up the cash. I will be waiting. I trust you.

 

that's rob's car

 

That cars alllll over craigslist. Ive been looking for a crx for quite some time.. that one pops up in half the counties in florida. =/

 

Its popping up all over Missouri also.

 

whos Rob?

Ohh the link below shows him

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3011400

It would be fun to get him in this thread!
If anyone knows him tell him to come chime in.

I bet his car has been sold more times than any other..LOL

 

you don't want rob in this thread.

 

Sure I do! If I was him I would be flattered that my car was so kick *** that scammers used it.

 

cool story bro

 

he's on honda-tech

yeah that is Robs car. that is pretty funny. I highly doubt he is selling his car and he also lives in Canada not Florida.

 

If it was rob, he'd have pictures of the floor mats.

 

I had the same kind of bullshit story while I was shopping for a gsxr. Some lady gave me some story about a divorce and getting the bike from her ex in the deal. Was for sale for a ridiculous price. Lucky I thought something was fishy before I went through with the deal.

 

And that blue CRX laundry bag thing as well.

 

Hey! My husband took those pictures..... which was definitely Rob's car and most definitely in Canada!

 

haha big truth...
but its a car cover lol

 

Laundry bag ? It's a pillow ! hahaha

If people fall for this scam, they deserve to be scammed...

 

^^^ hey rob i'd pick it up for 2800! so would most i think

 

saw that one on cl in minnesota

 

I saw it on CL all over Texas.

 

Hey Rob, Welcome! Your car is Famous!

But Melvin just kind off danced around my questions.

Does the sunroof work?
Is there any rust bubbling on sunroof or the bottom inside edge of doors?
Is the climate control uncracked?
How did you go about lowering the car?
Any water leaks into the interior you are aware of?
Do you have a carfax on it. Clean title?
What is the actual mileage on the car?

Do the brakes squeek?
why are you selling it?
Where are you located and is there a good time to take a look at the vehicle?

 

Too good to be true...

 

WOW!!!

 

And now the OP is banned, thanks for that nice PM you sent me.
