Looks like he's back in business under the name Andy Alfer:

Thanks, he tried to post that here too but I had the phone #:
(925) 597-3365
already blocked from a previous scam ad so it got auto-deleted. |
Not sure if you have this number he just used: 925-597-3365 |
Thanks. The # you listed is the same # I typed above that I said was already blocked, was that a typo?
If there's another one, let me know.
I think you just emailed me two 707 phone #s too?
I blocked those as well (One was already blocked) |
Yeah, I don’t know why I listed the 925 number, as you already mentioned it. The 707 one is supposedly attached to his Zelle account, as that’s how he requested to be paid a deposit. It is: 707-590-3484. Sorry if that’s repetitive. I don’t know the law, but isn’t that interstate crime?

I emailed The two 707 numbers. He was trying to sell the black oval I posted above. He’s not even asking for a deposit either, he’s making you think multiple people are coming to see the car to trick you into sending a deposit ahead of time to hold the car. He even sent an address, but I didn’t save that, unfortunately. |
Cool, thanks again.
I added all of the #s to the first post here too.

I took the time to read all 24 pages of this thread, and I’m honestly shocked (impressed?) this guy has been able to operate for so long. You have to figure he’s savvy enough to monitor this page, to see if the chatter has increased. Anyway, he posted again, I contacted him, he used the same pressure tactics, yet I didn’t bite. Crazy…🤦♂️

This is correct.
Allen created his ebay acct on Jun 28th. The winning bid happened on Jun 29th. The auction "ended" a couple hours after that. The shortest auction you can do on ebay is 3 days, so it must have been cancelled by ebay.

I'm pretty sure no one got scammed by that ebay listing.
The winning bidder is the one that left the negative feedback: "Scammer"

Congratulations Allen! I've never actually seen anyone on ebay with a negative feedback score.
I sent a whole bunch of info about Allen to ebay. Hopefully they'll kick him off ebay and if we're lucky, ban him for life.
Update: Got this reply from ebay about the report I filed with them about Allen:
