I just googled "1962 porsche 356" and hit the video button. It's the fourth item down.

I think that the scammers are getting wise to the ease of image searches, even for cropped photos and are resorting to screen shots of videos to evade them.

This is very possible, especially since Chrome allows the user to right-click on photos and do a Google Image Search.

He texted me from (323) 873-0827. Same number others have reported in this thread!

He said, "Im showing porsche today at 6pm 3420 _____ st Tacoma wa 98407"

I'm playing along...

He must follow this thread, right? His name is in the title.

Hmm, apparently he's also selling his half-million dollar digs along with his 356:

http://www.windermere.com/listing/22111075

You might ask him if he'll throw in the 356 if you buy his house. Smile

You can string him along for a bit but it's sure that he isn't going anywhere near that address. He's probably sitting in an apartment in SoCal hustling deposits from all of his scam ads. Not going near the people he rips off keeps him healthy.

You would have to be deaf, dumb and stupid to believe that price for that car, specially for someone who is posting ONLINE.

Bummer that my first post here has to be about this guy.
He's active in San Diego. There's an ad for a 69 912 for $8500 that's his (thus far unconfirmed) and I've had a txt exchange with him about a '60 bus ($4k) at the 0827 number. Thanks for listing that number, I was considering taking time off work to drive up to Ramona but a quick google search turned up this thread.

Sorry, I don't have the links to the ads. CL is blocked at work. Easy enough to spot.

Looks like he has a new email address...

Saw a post for a 57 camper in Oakland today with his usual style.

Dang, he's prolific. Too bad CL doesn't automatically check for scammers using the same picture in widespread locations. Like this guy is going to be selling "his" bus in both Washington DC and Hawaii!

Flag 'em:

Allen just posted a picture of his new car today on his Facebook page. I'm personally trying to track down his brother Asislo who used a stolen credit card to purchase thousands of dollars in merchandise from my business. Yep, a whole family of criminals. Nice, huh.
