ATTN: EBAY SCAM 3000GT VR4 (see I knew it!)
so remember a little while ago when i was askin if they ever did any scams...
i got 2 scam emails from ppl trying to sell a 3000GT VR4....$6,ooo for a mint 1998....yeahhh lol. so I forwarded the emails to ebay and they are def fake. If you are in the market and looking just watch out. They tried to tell me I had already won it, (i never bid on it....or even emailed the guy from my ebay so...) They made it look like it was from ebay, but it had a fake id # and talked about wiring money and all that crap. (the other email was from someone outta the country...so you just know that ones fake) oh and.....2 days ago...or yesterday i cant remember, both listings were removed from ebay as well.
Just thought id let everyone know.

Fvcking d-bags.
This is the problem my brother is having. He is selling this ring. Unfortunatly she is a total bitch so now hes stuck with it. I think its like a 30k ring... and its on ebay lol. Anyways, bottom line he has had about 5 different people contact him and they are ALL scams. Dirty nigerian fvckers lol.

Your brother either has more money than he knows what to do with...or isn't the brightest fellow in the world...

Yeah, I e-mailed that guy and asked him why he was selling a $20,000 car for $6000. He e-mailed me back a couple of days later. That same day, I got an e-mail from Ebay guarantying the purchase, but his e-mail said the terms are "wire transfer". Don't ever pay for anything with a wire transfer. Anything that cost a lot of money should go through PayPal or cashier's check, or use an escrow agent. Get full identification and verify if you use a cashier's check. Money orders and wire transfers are too easy to cover-up a paper trail. I bought my 3000GT VR-4 on Ebay. Made several contacts with the seller first. Paid with a cashier's check. Verified information through PayPal and Ebay, and got purchase guaranty's from both. You can't be too careful.

You can find it yourself on ebay. Or you can get the ebay link from the ForSale section of this forum.
My brother is a pretty smart dude. He did what he thought was the right thing to do at the time, and to be honest i think he made the right choice. However, things have changed. It was somethin he couldnt afford anyway... but thats not the point
