Perhaps the club's keeper of the records can match the VIN to the real owner of this car. The photos show VIN 8413139742. Anyone recognize the number?

Greetings - There is a very good summary of how these various scams work on the 
ars On Line home page at 
ww.cars-on-line.com  (scroll to the bottom of their home page).  As Anthony 
oints out, the cues are hotmail or gmail email addresses, a sob story or too 
usy to come and see the car, or working offshore etc, and broken English.  
ffering more than the asking price is a frequent come on. Most recently, 
hey've even found a way to run their scam through PayPal, which is also 
xplained on the Cars on Line site. It's a useful 10 minute read before you list 
 car on an internet site. The site may be quite legit, but these scammers still 
ry to exploit them. They seem to originate in Nigeria and Russia because of lax 
aws and/or enforcement, although they use American names and area codes in US 
tates.

> Greetings fellow collectors:
 
 I received this obvious scam offer below to sell a mint 300G for 
 only $12,000  after responding to an ad on www.adpost.com .
 
 First, I doubt the extremely low mileage of 4,850 on a 51 year 
 old car and then the "too good to be true" low price at a 
 fraction of the car's worth.
 Next comes the sympathy story that has been circulated before ( 
 husband killed in Iraq)  and failure to provide any phone 
 number or documents despite several requests.
 The following email offering to ship the car from England (when 
 advertised to be in Lancaster, PA) for FREE confirms this is unreal.
 
 Anyway, the attached photos should be of interest to club 
 members as perhaps it may be of a car you know or own.
 I also wonder if anyone else has received a similar offer to 
 sell this car?
 I welcome your replies and be ware of Nigerian type scams.
 
 I am still looking to buy a real 300 letter car or preferably a 
 Chrysler wagon (1961 or similar) so if anyone knows of any nice 
 ones for sale please reply.
 
 Thanks for your interest.
   
 Anthony T. Ballato

 Hello,
 
 
 Thank you for your interest, the car is in great shape, no 
 engine problems, damages or hidden defects. The car was my 
 husband`s as he loved it very much,  but he did not enjoy 
 it so much, he died in a IRAQ 9 months ago. It brings very bad 
 memories to me, I want to get rid of it. I`m a single mother 
 with 2 children's and now I have some problems with the money 
 because we just moved back to my homeland United Kingdom.
 The mileage is 4,850 and the price is $12,000.
 
 
 Please let me know if you are still interested.
 
 
 Thank you.
 Melissa Coleman
