A couple of yrs ago I posted wanted ads online looking for a '37 ford club coupe.I still get responses from that ad. today I get an email and said he had a club coupe for sale.and I told I was interested in seeing pics and more information. he responds back with this sad story about he needs to sell real quick because his wife medical bills,blah,blah,blah...and as I get down to the bottom of the email there are 2 pic attachments....the pics are of MY car!!!! this fool is trying to fraud people!! so I guess the moral of the story is...always be weary about buying cars sight unseen! I have the guys yahoo email adress..and had thought about posting it here...but I wanted to post this story with all of you.

Hey 37 ,
Thanks for the heads up.
I would contact my local FBI bureau & give them a full copy of that email you got & give Yahoo a copy of that email .
That guy needs to be drug behind a car for a few miles .......LOL

I agree contact the Law! See what they can do. But don't contact him or his provider until talking to the law! You might get the car for a better price from him than what you paid! The law might even give you a credit card or cash to buy your own car! (Thats how the USA Government works YA'KNOW!)
