It cant be a scam because I got 4 from him. I emailed him and am waiting back but I would bet its the King of Jordan or Elvis looking to buy a car and they will send a check. I bet they will even overpay and I will send the difference. Im hoping its Elvis buying it for his own birthday present. I will forward the reply to the moderator if it smells anything like a scam so he can delete the name.

Sundevil64 yeah I got the same thing a while back and not like you 2 of my Vettes are for sale at this time so I did send a reply. Just like most that ask I never heard from him again. I figured he was just another window shopper with a champain taste and a beer bill fold. I never thought about it again till you posted this.

Any of you have your Corvettes for sale or did this just come out of left field?



And, yes, any of us need to exercise caution in such encounters to avoid becoming the victim of a scammer.

Default weird pm

My vette is not for sale. The weird thing is it was pm'd to me. It seemed like a "random solicitation" with some objective. Anyway, just thought I would throw it out there. I looked at when he started his enrollment it was 12-10-07. Thus, the reason for suspicion.
