Right. ALL 2003 Vettes had the 50th Anniversary Emblems. So some advertise/think they are one. :nono:

no they were trying to get you to send money (paypal) and they would ship it to you within a few days and you could send it back if you didn't like it! ... It's on again today for $15K this time and I reported it to Kijiji again

Hahaha! That's too funny. I wonder how many times they'll try. I wonder how many people have fallen for their scam? I thought PayPal was supposed to protect against fraud though so I don't see how they'll get your money?

 

[vt65]

now it's listed on Auto Trader for $15K, at least it's the same pictures : 2003 Chevrolet Corvette ? MISSISSAUGA ? For Sale
These swindlers keep trying they gonna get someone, I have notified AT about this being a fraud too bad I would like to have got it for that price!

 

[HLN A55]

I played out a scanner just for fun once. I love wasting their time and hearing the stories they come up with. Then I tell them I'm a cop LOL. What was the scam on this one exactly?

 

[Riley P]

It turns out when you use PayPal, your money is only protected against fraud if it's an ebay purchase. So with these guys, you can send them money through PayPal and they can either disappear or say they sold the car to you and you're out of money!

 

[HLN A55]

Whoomp. Wow. Had no idea. However... One would assume that you could pass the PayPal info on to the authorities... No?

 

[Riley P]

I had no idea about the PayPal thing either! Isn't that nuts? I would assume you could get the authorities involved for sure!
