I have an e-mail account that I use as my SPAM bait account. You provide the wording and I'll e-mail it to him :)

Subject: ...interesting...marketplace fraud(Admin to remove ad?)

We have an answer to a question we all pretty much knew...the guy is almost
certainly a fraud.

Given all the stuff we talked about on list about the car being located in
SA, the VIN provided being a Dorf, etc, and this last email responding to some
innocent questions...we know where the guy stands.

I'm tempted to email him back and throw all the facts in his face, but...for
some reason I'd think that I'd get ALOT of retributive spam etc... Brett did
you get an actual location where the email was sent from from the headers I
sent you?

The guy certainly isnt the slickets of scam artists...either that or he
thinks that Americans are some pretty dumb people.  Kinda amusing that he'd rather
discuss shipping and price (paid by credit card!) than answer any question I
threw at him. I dont think he likes it that there are people actually near the
place he claims the car to be. or don't I believe him. sheeeesh. the attitude
on this guy :)

I'm also tempted to pretend to go along with the guy, just to find out where
to send payment...then report that info to the proper people, maybe we can
take the fool down.

Any ideas?

Well, I would like to take a look at the car, I live just outside of NYC and

Before I meet with you however, I'd like some more pictures so I can get a
better sense of the car.

Might I ask how your friend came to sell the car to you?

lastly is the car US spec?

Thanks,
Ian
