Default I found a scam.

hello fellow ITR owners, i need your guidance on a dilemma i have. ive recently built me a type r out of my 94 ls integra(shaved moldings,itr lip,jdm itr motor,98+ bumpers etc) and no matter what it still doesnt complete me...BUT...ive been searching to buy a real ITR and i found one the other day...its a black ITR bone stock...stock height,no engine mods,etc..and its a lady named "alyssa lewis" selling it. she says her mom has cancer thats why she's selling it so cheap. cheap...like...$2400 cheap. no typo. i asked her the price and if it was a typo she said "thats the right price $2,400" im thinking to my self..thats a hell of a deal! and id be helping her out. her mom has cancer i donate 2400 and im happy with an ITR. BUT c'mon really? a REAL DEAL ITR for 2400? here the links and the carfax she sent me via email.
"You can see all the pictures, the Carfax and full description here: http://s865.photobucket.com/albums/a...000acuratyper/ http://s865.photobucket.com/albums/a...000acuratyper/
2 Months ago I found out my mother has cancer and for this reason I need sell it at this price. For making this fast and easy for both of us and because I wasted a lot of time on the phone and with appointments with several 'serious buyers' that never arrived, I've decided to use an escrow service. This will allow us to complete the sale in a manner that is quick and safe for both of us. If you want to know more, get back to me and I'll tell you how it works."


notice it doesnt have ITR floor matts, and the vin says its a GSR not a type R

The VIN is of a GSR, not an ITR. Great deal still...be careful not to get scammed.

Escrow service is the key words to a scam. I have seen many of them. The escrow service is probably the girl's friend.

This has SCAM written all over it. General rule of thumb: "If something sounds too good to be true, then it probably is."

I am talking to the same person. I was searching google to find out more about this scam. I found this honda-tech page. I wrote her and told her I was gonna fly out there to pick up the car just to see what she was gonna say. She said she was in Oklahoma City. Here is what she wrote me in an email:

Let me give you more info before to go ahead.


The car’s VIN is as follows JH4DC2398YS001880.



You can see all the pictures, Carfax and full description here: http://s865.photobucket.com/albums/a...000acuratyper/



2 Months ago I found out my mother has cancer and for this reason I need sell it at this price. For making this fast and easy for both of us and because I wasted a lot of time on the phone and with appointments with several 'serious buyers' that never arrived, I've decided to use an escrow service. This will allow us to complete the sale in a manner that is quick and safe for both of us. If you want to know more, get back to me and I'll tell you how it works.


PS: I can ship it for $740. It will be delivered in four days and you will have to pay the shipping fees when you will receive it. Then you will be able to see and test the car before I take any money.



Thanks,

Alyssa Lewis

I also found another post of hers on google that said she was in Atlanta, GA.

I'd like to track down the seller and have my way with them. I hate liers/scamers. Amazing what people will do to screw other people over for a few thousand dollars. This world has gone to ****!
