[BaadAssGremlins] re: warning craigslist amx scam Great Deal**1968 AMC 3904-SPEED - $4500

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What was it... 2-3 years ago? Someone collected deposits from three different people on an 
AMX, one may have paid in full, then found out it was a scam when they went to pick it up. 
Scammers actually put the owners address in the ad and took pics of the car in front of 
his house! Someone looked up the owners phone number and called him, that's how they 
discovered the scam after the fellow stopped replying to e-mail regarding a pick-up time 
and place... after collecting money...

and:

$4500 seems to be the price every spammer sets on ads like these. It's
become so widespread, especially on CL, that I now automatically ignore
any car for sale classifieds with an asking price of $4500.

I believe it was about 5-7 years ago on the above. For awhile there seems there was ebay 
scammer amx of the week award! One of the most 'momorable' (unfortunately, my words) was a 
Bittersweet Orange 69 AMX that popped up and hidden in the text of the auction on ebay was 
'getting divorced, want $4500' for it, while auction was live and was quickly approaching 
$4500. They had email and phone number in auction in case 'anyone wanted to ask them about 
the car' of course, several AMCers, 4 in all, 'bought' the car, for $4500. I decided to 
call the number and a guy answered, rather angry, as he had already had numerous calls. He 
told me he never like AMC and could not tell difference between Gremlin or AMX and he was 
livid someone had give out his wofe's phone number in NM, he didn't have a AMC, and I 
mentioned to hi the auction of which he didn't know about, even with the calls, seems the 
ones calling were trying to arrainge transportation for the truck to pick up!

Ebay shut it down, but too late. The scammer had already made $18,000 total off four 
people who jumped the gun, and thought they were getting deal of lifetime. Too bad.

To Dan who mentions the $4500 figure, it is usually between $4500 and $6500 and not sure 
why. Have seen Mopars, Mustangs, Camaros you name it with same scam, photos lifted from 
legit site, many times text also, same price range!
====================
Now if you excuse me this just came in and this $21.5 million dollars my humble, honorable 
friend wishes to share with me is waiting, so I can buy all 6 1970 AMX/3s! I just wished 
THEY WOULD USE ALL CAPS LIKE THIS as most rich people do! Sigh.
