Help Needed Verifying Italian Address

[StanAE86]

My friend and I are dicking around with a scammer ($23k for a 2003 M3 - send a deposit and I'll come back from Italy to complete the transaction). Can someone tell me what this address is? I think this is the same scammer that I dicked with during summer time, but I can't remember...

Via del Medici 24
Milano,
Italy

Thanks.

Well.... how do we know what the first persons address was???

Oh, and even if he is an asshole... posting sensitive information about somebody on the net isn't cool

I say remove this post/thread

I don't rememeber the first one.

My hunch is that this address is a phony one. He supposedly is living in Italy with a car in Chicago, but posted the ad in a Bay Area Classified. He's asking for a deposit without any further proofof ownership of the car. An address is hardly sensitive. Everyone has one. It becomes sensitive when you have a name to match it with...which I haven't given out...even though I think this guy is fake.

how about, if you think he's fake you just forget about it and go do something more constructive

right
do you really think you could buy a 2003 M3 for 23,000, be realistic. unless it is a salvage car

who cares, although I have no idea of the going rate for cars in the us of a, but I'm certainly not stupid enough to pay anyone a deposit with no proof..

anyway, that is besides the point, which is you have no proof but suspect the guy is a con artist, yep it sounds iffy as hell but sounding iffy and definitely being a con are 2 different things.. so why not just leave it the hell alone

I can only stand to look at so much porn before my eyes get blurry.

I suppose I should do something more constructive...but, don't you feel a responsibility to try to have these guys caught or something? I suppose I could just report it immediately, but nothing will really ever happen.

You can say what you want about buyer beware and just forget about it, but how is it any different than not doing something when you see someone breaking into a car, trying to steal a radio. I've had my car broken into before and I just feel that these guys that try to get something for nothing, at the expense of someone else deserve a little hassle if the odds are they won't be caught...

This guy has more time than I have, but hey, more power to him:

oh ouch lets try to throw in a few insults because we dont like what the other is saying... someone call the waaaaaaaaaaambulance ... with that level of intellect how the hell can you judge whether this guy is really a scammer :roll:

Gee Dan, just chill out a little. That wasn't an insult directed to you...it was my reply to you saying I should do something more constructive with MY time. I was poking fun at myself. I've never been a prick to anyone here before...where did that come from? I'm not going to start insulting people because they don't agree with me. That was quite a fiery reply....

I can see I'm not going to convince you any more than you will me, so I'll let it go. This certainly has turned into something it wasn't meant to be.

I'm still wishing you all a happy holiday and safe new year, even though you put me in the waaaaambulance.

ah lol then forget it, just put it down to 'Dan got out the wrong side of bed a little while ago'
