GT3 Scam uncoverd!!!!

A few days ago I was looking through the Classifieds on here and noticed a closed post of a 04 Porsche 911 GT3 for sale for $35k, it has/had cosmetic damages done to it.

http://dtmpower.net/forum/showthread.php?t=141423


Well it if you notice this post is closed for some reason. But if you also notice that one lucky individual was able to actually meet this guy and see the car in person. The member's name is "///M" and he said he actually said the guy is legit. So everything thing seems somewhat alright and somewhat reasonable, except the fact the thread is closed down.

Well I was also looking at another thread and ///M was wanting someone with a yellow M3 to call him. The phone number is (401) 741-6280. This is very odd since the guy who is selling the GT3 also has the same phone number.

http://www.dtmpower.net/forum/showth...47#post1316547
Hmmm, I think the math easily adds up, and we can all know that this guy is a scammer and i'm just giving a heads up to everyone, remember if it's too good to be true..........TRY TO SCAM THEM FIRST!!!!

"Problems with the car: Ignition works but needs to be replaced, interior work needed"

Sounds like a stolen car to me...

You got a Spec V past 140? I'm impressed. I test drove one once, and the salesman told me "Alright, fucking slow down man" by the time I hit 105....and it didn't feel like there was much left.

Yeah with a good set of jacks stands, straps, and a 2.73 differential I could probably see 200 mph!!!! J/K! SpecVs are very competitive autox'ers down in my parts.

Good find on the scam. Keep on keepin' on, Encyclopedia Brown.
