I emailed them to take a look at it. They wanted to ship and use an ebay account for payment.

 

Yes, the car is actually for sale on the forum though, and the listings have been mentioned in the thread:

https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-rx-7-1993-2002-vehicles-107/1993-silverstone-metallic-base-only-39k-miles-883918/

Flag it for removal on CL, the scammer has posted it in many cities.

 

That was listed in FT Wayne, IN also. I contacted the seller just for laughs. Got the old scam line about then car being in CA and they will pay for shipping.

"First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my car. I sell it at this price because i have just finished with my divorce . The divorce was finished six months ago and the car is mine now . After the divorce I had to buy a new house .
Following the financial crisis I can not afford to pay the bank and I decided to sell the car.
This car is in excellent working conditions, with no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage. The car comes with a clear title in my name .
The VIN is JM1FD3314P0207022 , you can check it on carfax. The car has 41350 miles.
From the beginning you have to know that for the payment I only request a secure pay method , I prefer the payment to be done using eBay services.
We will use a safe payment method because I am affiliated with eBay and I have a purchase protection account.
The final price that I want for this car is $3950. I will support shipping costs.
If you are interested in buying the car , please give me your full name and address so I can initiate the deal through eBay.
I will wait your answer(if you are interested to buy) very soon.

I told her/him I would pay cash in Ft Wayne I got this:

"The car is already at the shipping company in Santa Ana, CA ready for shipping.
I have a contract with eBay so this deal must go through eBay Vehicle Protection Program.
I'm very busy with my job and I'm out of town ( i am doctor in US Army , deployed in Afghanistan now ) so I can't meet you in person , this is the reason why I chose to sell my car on the Internet. According with the eBay you have 5 days after you receive the car to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not.
Here is how it will work:
1.First of all I will need the following details from you:
- Full Name
- Full Shipping Address
2. After I will receive the details from you, I will forward them to eBay.
3. After they will process your info, they will send us both invoices. You will receive the invoice with the details on how to make a refundable payment.
4. eBay will contact me and I will ship the car to you. After you receive the car you will have 5 days to test, verify and do whatever you need to the car. If you will decide to buy, then I will get money from ebay .
5. If you will decide that you do not buy the car, eBay will refund your payment and I will contact shipping company to pick up my car from your address . If you wish to make the transaction, please send me the necessary info so that we can proceed. I look forward to hearing from you .

Thank you"

 

^^ i did the same thing!!! i love messing with those guys

only difference is im in houston. and i pretended to have twice the asking price...all he had to do was meet me or call me....
Then.......... *No Responce*

lol

 

Yeah... these guys really bug me. I usually email them my spiel about finding Christ and they will one day be accountable for their actions.... I actually had one guy break down in an email and told me to pray for him.....

 

that sounds like pure win please post!

 

+1 ^^^^^
yes sounds awesome

 

^^^ Banzai that sounds just like the email I got when i was looking to purchase one. The asking price being so low is what gives it away. Let me see if I can dig up the old e-mails


Hello,

Sorry for the delayed response, but I'm in Scotland (United Kingdom) right now and I have been very busy. Anyway, thank you for your interest in buying the 1993 Mazda RX-7 .The car is located in Canada right now. Why is the price so low?I am going trough a divorce, and I had to move out of Canada.So all that I want to do now is to sell the car at this price, because I need to sell it fast.The title is clean. The car has 60,000 miles.It is in immaculate condition, rust free, no scratch at all and hasn't been involved in any accident. The motor runs very well. The interior looks great. This car needs nothing. I want this transaction to go smoothly enough as I am caught in the middle of some very important events and have little time to my disposal. I already have tones of emails so I hope you understand that I need to sort them out. The price is C$3,900.00. THIS IS MY LAST PRICE.I will not negotiate the price. Also, I take in consideration only those buyers who are really interested in buying the car, to be sure that I don't waste my time with endless discussions. This way, I shall be assured of the serious intentions.

Thanks!


That was the first one I got, sounds a little sneaky so I followed up.

The price of the car was 4,800 and now was reduced at 3900$ and was posted on autotrader on all the states for a quick sale.Before leaving I had prearranged the deal with eBay Motors so my presence isn't necessary. The car is at the shipping company in Canada, ready to be delivered. The shipping cost is included in the total price of the car! You have 5 days to test it and inspect the car.So if you want to make this deal I need the following details from you:
full name and address,shipping address,phone #
After I will have all this details I will forward them to eBay Motors and I will proceed the order. eBay Motors will contact you with all the details that you need to complete this deal and also to see that I am covered by them and that I am legit seller. Waiting your email with the requested details.

Regards

Hmm really trying to reel a person in here. So I insisted on the VIN and the location in Canada

Hello Anna,


This is Mike here I have been asking about the RX7 you have for sale. Sorry about e-mailing you from another address but I am currently at work. As you can tell I am very interested in your car but I would really like to know where it is in Canada, I know the shipping is covered in the price but I would like to know where it is so that I may arrange a time to go and see it, I know you want this to go smoothly and I apologize for all this I just want to make sure that I am purchasing a legit deal. I am just trying to make sure that I am covered. Please feel free to have E-Bay motors email me and I will pass my information off to them. Also I would like to have the VIN before I give my information out.

Thank you for your understanding

Mike

After this one it took the person over a week to get back to me, must of been thinking really hard of a way to convince me.

I'm still waiting for the requested info...and ebay will contact you

Thanks

VIN JM1FD3317P0200517

the car it's in Vancouver

So for any of you in Cali with a Black 7 and this VIN someone was trying to use your car as bait. I got a hold of auto trader and reported this incident.

Dumb ***** thinking they can sell a nice 7 for 4k CAD

Mike

 

I delt with the same "woman" (Donna Beavers) and went through much of the same thing... We actually sent 7 emails back and forth till "she/he" got mad at me for asking to "many questions" and wanting proof, so I then bitched her out and never heard anything else.

-J

 

we should set up a sting operation.... we'll call it The "seven club head hunters," We should try to contact pay-pal and let them know what's going on and if there's anything we can do for it. How awesome would it be to catch these bastarts in the act and have them do some time for the crime.

 

^could work

 

I've done the same thing. Sometimes I go looking for the scams just so I have something to do in my free time. Haha.

In my search for a seven I came across so many scams on CL. I started emailing them for fun, I even came across this car and Donna Beaver, and that was back around January. I Feel bad for whoever actually owns the car.
