Don't know about anyone else, but I personally enjoy your rants Patrick. Although I wonder where you find the time or energy.

I appreciate your intentions of informing others of potential malcontent and if there is a post/topic I think is stupid or overplayed I just skip it.

PS: I think it's really funny that you are stringing the scammer along. I usually try to get as much information from them as possible (address, personal phone number, cell number, fax number, etc) and then forward it all to their local police office once I've 411'd their supposed location.
I wanna go fast.

Thanks Matt. Sometimes I purposely overplay a subject just to make it (hopefully) more entertaining. You know, we're supposed to be having a little fun when not fixing Fieros. I'm afraid some people just have no sense of humour.

Thanks again. Well, it really blows me away (and quite frankly, disappoints me) that someone/anyone would be offended by my attempts to bring to light crooks and con artists, especially ones who are preying on members of the Fiero community.

Heh heh, I've got more to report on that as well. I'm still sending emails back and forth with the scammer and will post them soon.

Mr R Willey has been busy.

Back to the scammer...

When we last reported on this saga, I asked scumbucket "Simone" who the guy mentioned on the invoice, "Clyde Lynch", was. These are the resulting emails...

Hi,
  Mr. Clyde Lynch is the verified agent from eBay,he`s working at their UK department and he`s the one that you have to send the money to.

Simone, I'm just a simple cowboy in Calgary, so I don't know how the business world operates. Could you please explain why I need to send money to the UK when you are in Montreal?
 
I'm sure there's a good reason, just let me know. I plan to go to the Money Gram establishment here in Calgary first thing Monday morning.
 
I sold 1000 head of cattle on Saturday. I've got plenty of money burning a hole in my pocket. I want to be driving that beautiful Fiero GT of yours!
 
-Red Willey
 
PS. I know this sounds kind of silly, but I sort of feel like we're becoming good friends with all this emailing back and forth. Could you possibly send me a picture of yourself? It would be much appreciated. I'll keep it in the Fiero as sort of a momento of our transaction. Thanks.

Why, is there a risk involved with these type of transactions? What could go wrong?

PS. I guess you're kind of shy, eh? Tell you what, send me a cute picture of yourself and I'll send along an extra hundred dollars! Come on, make big ol' Red Willey happy.

I may just be a simple cowboy from Calgary, but I’m not stupid.
 
I finally figured out why the money is supposed to be sent to the UK. It’s because Clyde Lynch is your boyfriend, isn’t it!
 
Man oh man, here you were stringing me along with promises to send me pictures of yourself and getting to know me better. And all along you and Clyde were no doubt laughing behind my back.
 
I’m not surprised you’re divorced. You were probably messing about with Clyde while you were still married. Did your husband discover what you were up to? Shame on you! Have you no morals whatsoever?
 
If you can’t be honest with me Simone, then I don’t want your Fiero, no matter how good it looks.
 
-A very deflated Red Willey

So that's where we now stand. Stay tuned for further developments.

No, but I've asked the Buy&Sell five times since last Friday to remove the bogus ad.

It's still there.

[EDIT] In the actual owner's eBay listing, he mentions he's aware of the fake/scam ads out there using pictures of his car.
