{Chrysler 300} Fake ads

["D.C. Mason" <petergriffinforpresident@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello club members,

This topic may have come up prior to my wife and I joining the club a few months ago.  We have recently looked at 60s letter car for sale ads and have seen a LOT of fake ads out there.   One site in particular, usclassifieds4all, seems to be almost entirely fake ads.   Sometimes the same car will be listed in different ads as being in different locations.   I’ve emailed to contact about a couple cars asking for more info and the response is something like “I’m out of the country doing contract work with the military but the car is (in some other location that doesn’t even match the fake ad) crated and ready to ship let’s get a deal done”.   Or “I’m working for an oil company and out of the country on an oil platform” and the rest is similar.   I’ve also emailed about several stating that I am interested in looking at the car in person, to which no reply is received.   

Just a word of caution to folks about these, which are probably designed to have the potential buyer send/wire money for a deposit or the whole amount.    Obviously it’s easy to steal photos of someone else’s car and set up a fake ad, but we didn’t realize it was this bad.  Crooks are really targeting classic car folks, and we don’t want any of us getting in a pickle.   It’s nice that there are trustworthy ads through the club site (Thanks Bob!).

Respectfully,
dave
