    WOW. They have a car that I have listed for sale on Ferrarichat (black 512TR). The car is owned by GMP and I am the sole person allowed to market the car. I work directly for GMP (and a few other collectors) for whom I have sold many cars including quite a few on Ferrarichat. I took the photos that they are using in their SCAM. The owner of the 512TR has since pulled the car off the market in favor of selling something else. The car is located in the San Francisco bay area. See my ad below for the 512TR.

    I'm going to call them about the car...

    If you call them they will play the old, "We are acting as brokers....(but dont have the permission of the legal owners). Ive seen it before, called the bluff and that was the answer. One guy I outed really thought he could get the car for 40% off from the actual seller. ''Ok, get the deal in writing and Ill wire the money to the owner" Click.

    Here is the shack in question. kinda comical as I dont know how they got palm trees to grow in Illinois....you can see them in the background of some of their 'inventory'.

    What's the point of having fake listings? It's not like anyone will wire money without seeing the car in person first. Buyers may even want to test drive and see it in person first.

    Probably a "bait and switch" lure for an actual car they have or represent. Even the ordinary cars might be suspect. Just for the heck of it, I ran the Toyota RAV4 they have advertised thru Edmunds and note that it is about 16% below the retail market and even less than wholesale, unless the clean car in the picture is really a totaled or theft recovery situation.

    Well, on a positive note, according to the banner you can get a car with no credit.

    I know the area.
    They are conveniently located across the street from a tow/auction yard(lots of donated cars there) and a trailer park, both ends of their business.
    Perhaps they figure having expensive cars listed among the "inventory" will lend an air of luxury to that shack.
    It would be interesting to see how long it would take for the car's real owner to get a call from them if somebody feigned interest well enough for them to smell a middleman deal.

    I just got this cream puff from Washington Auto with a signature no money down. They told me I needed to move fast , lots of interest because next year's model was a turbo version. :)
