[qwigybo]

go stampy go u can do it :
sorry cam but it's amusing in a way

[max^power]

i guess there is a benefit to having a crap car! nobody in their right mind would do this with a car like mine! hope you get some leads, very interesting read though. i'd be guessing nothing will happen if they person is caught anyway. lets hope these car sales sites wise up a bit. sydney numbers and vic addresses are the biggest dead give away of them all. not to mention people that are reluctant to show you the car... i have no sympathy for people that fall for it.

[camc88]

Dunno about the leaky LHR brake calipers though. Only joking, hope you are succesful in its return.

It looks like a car wash place or a detailers. Looks like pegs on the wall for the car mats.
Place looks pretty clean aswell.

[Polyal]

whats that sign on the machine in the background say? this is insane...we are so going to get this mofo..its going to be great!

keep the good work up guys!

Is it worth anyone else sending the guy some "genuine" emails?

Its a proper car wash bay with a water recycler and oil separator. Note the broom hose in the corner, the grate in the floor and the also the hooks on the wall for brooms and cleaning guns etc.

Look closely at the no plate, it looks photoshopped, as in the top of the plate looks wrong, it should be obscured by the no plate light.

nah mate plates are legit...

cam can you think of any times when you have left your car with anyone?

is oak ford the only place you get work done?

Is it possible that these pics have had the car photoshopped into another background?

[Polyal]

Ive got another idea...the car is very clean..and look at the street in the refection...notice it?

edit: has anyone asked for his bank details to make a deposit? surely that would help

[kooky]

Cam I know its a long shot but is that the original exhaust tip? also knowing how you used to drive it, is that the original tyre tread pattern?

[XKALBR]

I think this is him look in the refection

I've asked for bank detailes. I've told him that i'd like to buy the car and i've arranged finance.

Also, none of the photos are photoshopped. The photos are taken with the car in that location.

[Aeron]

Also, the photos were taken on a Sony Cybershot on Date 24/02/2005 at 16:14

So, where was the car at this time??

EDIT: If you open the photos in a program like Nikon View it gives this info (Exif Data).

Cam had a Sony Cybershot camera as his still digital camera.

But the date is very useful.

24th of Feb 2005 was the FPV openday wasn't it ?
So maybe someone tooks pics of it when Cam was cleaning it for the show. The time is out, but maybe the time was not set correctly on the camera.

[Tornado]

Oh hang on the 24th was a Thursday. The FPV open day was on the 27th(Saturday) so did you get the car detailed on the Thursday before the FPV openday ?

[XF Falcon]

THE PLOT THICKENS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

this is so cool - yet its so scary, and i find it unbelievable that it happens so easily...

So dude does that date ring a bell at all???

[AMT]

You blokes should be working for the cops, i bet the guy's on here get him before the police do....good luck lads....!!! If you need somewhere to dump his body pm me I'll get rid of it for ya....never to be recovered.!!

[Lukeyson]

SORRY
The car you are looking for is no longer available.

[BOOSTDEF]

guys, i can guarentee you he will want to work through something called ebay square trade or something where the deposits and money transactions are done through a third party. I have tried to get a scammers bank details by doing the same thing, but they would only go through ebay square trade.

However, this is very different to the scams ive seen(im sure a lot of you remember the GT for 9k shipped from america), so maybe he is even dumber than what he looks. I dont see how the police by now would not have the authority to get the IP from carsales?? Sounds a crock of ИИИИ to me. I mean, you have a fair bit to worry about atm and i feel for you.

Also to keep in mind, ive worked as an apprentice for a car dealer and taking the car for a spin and a detail was part of the job. Those pics could of been snapped up anywhere.

[qwigybo]

it's cam trying to get us all rowled up he made the fake posting on carpoint to begin with

[Aeron]

I just got these emails

Hi Aeron,

OK, lets get the ball rolling then. As I already told you, before I start the shipping I need to see a $4000 deposit. You will deposit the $4000 into Carpoint trust account. When I get the payment confirmation from Carpoint I'll start the shipping arrangements. After you receive and inspect the vehicle(30 days inspection period) they will release the 4K to me. After that you'll send me the balance($14500) by certified cheque(bank cheque). You'll just mail it to my address and I'll cash it here.

So first things first; we need to start the Carpoint transaction, so I need your full name and address to get this process started. After that, Carpoint will contact you with further details and they will send you an invoice and you'll have more details about the transaction.

Looking forward to hear from you!
Cheers,

Cameron.

And this one....

It would take max 5 days for the car to be shipped to Aussie. I will use Lufthansa Air Cargo, door to door delivery service so the guys will come with the car to your address.

Cameron.

Yeh right, bullsh1t.

Just wondering... Do Carpoint have a trust account? I don't think so! Cant wait for you (Aeron) to post to the thread "his invoice" and "more details about the transaction"....

This thread is great reading.... I hope it works out like in the movies and bad guy gets it!

Do you feel violated Cam? I don't think I would if I saw my baby(gt) on ebay/carpoint etc... I think it would be a great car conversation for years to come... The only thing he has stolen at the moment is the pix.

In saying that, these people need to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, because someone will think this is all for real and will part with there hard earned cash for a car that was never for sale.

[banarcus]

Not wanting to get involved in this at all but surely there is a haxor that could find his ip addy and try and locate him.

Do you guys remember that fool on a american forum giving those guys hell for driving ricers(hondas from memory) and they tracked him down, even posted his school photos on the forums and all. This fella got eaten for breakfast.

Actually, there is one other thing that has been "stolen" to some extent and that is Cam's identity.
