A friend of mine just alerted me to the fact that they had seem my car advertised for sale on an internet site that I have never heard of. The ad says that my car is on consignment. I had an ad running on Craig's List. These scammers hi-jacked that ad word for word including all the pictures I had posted. I get calls all the time from people who want me to send $300 and $400 so they can advertise my cars for me and I politely tell them "not interested". I suppose were going to find out in time what their little game is. The name of this particular site is 'classiccarsaarena.com'. I guess they are not aware that the pictures are my property and in order to use them legally they must have my permission. That's the law~!

It was once a good money making scam by patent trolls to sue everybody and some people got scared and paid the ransom.
The courts have put them out of business .
Google "Patent trolls legislation" and "Copy right trolls legislationLast edited by rkapteyn; 02-02-2017, 04:26 AM.

I'd assume that they find a buyer, then buy yours and "flip" it. Now that may play 2 ways. You might, just might be able to scam the scammers. get a fake buyer with a fake check to buy the car. Sell these folks your real car for real money. Then let them deal with the "Scammer" LMAO!
Scam the Scammer.....
