Default Did you guys read that thread where the NSX forum counter-scammed the scammer? That was ROFL good

If you haven't read it, its a classic. I think it was the NSX forums but I cant be sure. Let me look in my email real quick -- here it is... yea NSX.

Read the original thread as it is absolutely some of the funniest stuff I have read.<ul><li><a href="http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?t=104987">Link to the original forum thread</a></li></ul>

Default 100% scam. When you ask to see the car they'll say it's already at the shipping company.

I don't honestly think there is an eBay "vehicle protection plan". It's not an eBay transaction anyway, so that should raise some red flags!

Default you know what is really odd...

I had some guy contact me from Mass. a few days ago offering to sell me a full set of RS4 rims and tires for $1200. I replied that I only needed one wheel, no tires. But I have a feeling it was shady, either stolen or some chucklehead trying the whole wire transfer thing. His name was Rob Rubio or something like that, Watch out if this is the same guy. He may be running some scams.
