Was another Mustang for $9500, nearly the same ad. I sent a request and it was deleted the next day.

None of these ads have any phone numbers attached, the only way you can contact them is through the carsales system. $9500 seems to be a very popular amount for the scammers too.

I really feel sorry for anyone who has been a victim of these suckers. I would hope that if anyone comes across anything that resembles one of these scams they report it and notify everyone they know. We need to make it impossible for these to take advantage of anyone.

hahaha coz they know you know about their little business venture.

Think about how many others they have ripped off with this scam. I hope the true extent of the law bites these guys in the butt very soon

As far as I can tell the second pic is actually some kind of model, possibly part of some kind of diorama display, if that was real you wouldn't be able to move it for fear of it turning in to dust.

Oh dear.......if you go back and look at post #25 by wodahs (the original poster of the pics) you'll see that it was never meant to depict a real car.

It... was... sarcasm...!
