Autotrader scam!

Mods....please don't move this to the forsale section because im not trying to sell my car with this thread.

After Christmas Scam.

Look at this:
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=255833330

Than look in my signature at my car.

Notice anything?
Im speechless right now. Just got back from traveling for the holidays with my family and a youtube member who follows videos of my car emailed me about the sale on autotrader. I was thinking wtf....so I asked him to send me the link. He said....this isn't your car with the above link???

I am speechless right now.

I have emailed autotrader explaining this is a scam. His long beach CA land line is through verizon but it won't tell me his address when I looked it up. Also, his number is a fax machine, I think, because when I called it made the fax noise.

I guess I should be flattered but 10,500....is my car only worth that.

WTF!!!!

I would keep calling the guy and ask if you could come and see it, then show up with the cops for trying to scam people out of their money. This sucks and I would be really pissed if it were me. Sorry this happened but atleast you found out about it. Let us know what happens.

Wow.

Reminds me of the Supra, RX7, Vette, and Viper eBay scams a few years back.


Suprised Autotrader has not removed the ad yet.
