Smell 99.9999999% chance of a scam....don't lose your money

Yes he uses my name, spelling is correct, info about the car matches the pics, gives his phone number but I could swear it is a different phone number then in the ad.

I said I have a buddy in MD that is willing to come see it and I will pay CASH in person if all checks out. Lets see if he comes back....now I just need a buddy in Rockville, MD lol

almost guarantee he will make up a excuse that hes leaving or something...

LOL yeah... the radio station in one of the pics is a Washington, DC station; did you notice that?

Lots of red flags. I'm interested to hear if he gets back to you

Jagerday · 10-21-2011, 08:37 AM

Are you kidding? This is absolutely a scam. Ill tell you what...you buy it from him for 18K and I will buy it from you the next day for 23K. You will make a quick 5 grand if its the real deal.

Moorepheus · 10-21-2011, 08:38 AM

so, your fellow Camaro5 members have spoke and it's 100% a SCAM

PAUL SS · 10-21-2011, 08:38 AM

You know what they say, If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Beware!

Mblock66 · 10-21-2011, 08:39 AM

Yeah im no idiot. And I was 99.9999% there myself but if I could juuuust find that pic that I know I saw on here with Incubus on the radio it would have solidified it.

I am going to call the newspaper and report it

PsychoZL1 · 10-21-2011, 08:39 AM

My experience is this:

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is a scam!

Mblock66 · 10-21-2011, 08:40 AM

The sad thing is, I have been wanting to get back in a camaro and I just don't think my wife is going to go for it @ $35k (ss or nothing for me). But for $18k with every option she couldn't stop me lol!

PM Designs · 10-21-2011, 08:46 AM

Good thing you were smart about it and didn't get scammed.
