ah, goon bag's old silo.......such a nice car

I personally hate those wheels, 80's corvette rip offs...BBS finned wanna be's from le'mans cars of the 80's

dump them Cara , lots of people want them , cause they get crappy looking easy, clear comes off

plus for a race car ,, they wont work anyhow...lol

agreed on the not working for a race car, but wash your mouth out :blink: ti wheels are probably the best factory wheels ausdel 31s came with imo, except GTS1 wheels of course :D

It's a known scam, friends of friends have been ripped by it.

Can you explain to me how it is a scam? I don't see it. The guy pays you first and picks the car up later. You don't hand over keys until the funds have cleared and are in your account. Where is the scam because I am missing it?

Can't remember exactly what the go was, but they were out of pocket by a few hundred bucks because of some dodgy shit on the 'buyers' behalf. Could dig up the Facebook chat between affected parties but cbf.

I don't know how someone could let their car go without cash or a bank cheque in their hand personally.

Craig: updates are I've gone back to not giving a shit about it. Going to relocate it to my front lawn, chuck it under the car cover and forget about it for a while.

Ok cause I'm real bored I just went and found the convo between my friends on facebook

bit of copy/paste:

trying to sell my car on the net and this guy f**ked me over. Lost $1000 lucky it wasn't more. Should get it back. Its a long story but that is the short of it. Police are looking into it now. Not happy.

was carsales. Lost it through paypal fraud. Like it is really a long story but this guy was good and screwed us over bigtime. Fake paypal emails and money transfers. I was stupid but according to the police its been happening a lot lately. If u look at carsales website there will be a warning on there now about the scam.

f*k not good luke put his on carsale with dads hope it hasnt happend to him too

yeah just warn him that if anyone wants to buy his car via paypal to tell them to f**k off lol.

oh my god u just reminded me someone did say that but keep asking questions so i told them to f*k off it was a chicks name

a chick called Mary is also doing according to the cops. Yeah just watch out for them. All the emails looked legitimate from paypal. This guy was good but not good enough. Dads after him lol.

yep that was her name got it in one i have a email from her

f**k yeah not good. U should tell the cops that she contacted u because it might help them find her. The guys name was Brad Mills. Just in case u get an email from him too and his email addresses are [email protected] or [email protected].

[email protected] this is one of her emails luke has the other one on his email acc

Fair enough she didn't say exactly how they do the sting but I know the people involved and they wouldn't bullshit around, if they say it's dodge then it's a legit scam (excuse oxymoron :blink:). Convo is dated 14th November so it's a somewhat recently active thing too.

Meh like I said, sif you'd sell a car to someone sight unseen via paypal. Reeks of dodgy.

Thanks for digging that up for me because I couldn't see how your friend's friend was scammed. Simple - they didn't transfer funds from PayPal to their own account. They probably never even checked their PayPal balance and just relied upon emails that do look legit (I've had several already). It still sucks and I feel for the people who were scammed but they did make a mistake allowing themselves to be scammed. Unless the money has cleared into your personal bank account it doesn't exist as far as I am concerned. The reason I wanted to dig deeper as I feel safer buying things using PayPal than other methods. And I have bought many things from overseas adding up to over $100,000 (Bentley + 2x GTRs + heaps of car parts etc) unseen and having never met or spoken to the seller. The only times I have been ripped off was on group buys on SAU - and these were a few years ago now. I just wanted you to point out a risk that I may not have been aware of and therefore vulnerable to.

Thanks again.

All good man, now that you mention it if you make sure the funds are in your actual bank account before anything leaves your possession I can't really see how you could get rorted either.

The clincher is both parties in that convo are women so I guess anything could've happened there :)
