Does anyone know of a Dariusz Sielewitz who recently advertised a blue 65 356c for sale and who just moved to WA from Woodbridge VA. I cant get an address to inspect the car for a PPI but he is pretty insistant on me paying up front. Lovely pictures of the car but no engine or chassis numbers supplied despite requests. Just smells very fishy to me. Maybe a warning to all out there. Thanks

These are my three rules for smelling out a scam, looks like your guy already failed one.

Couple of easy things to do to prove a scam.
1. Can't talk to the seller on the phone. The BIG RED FLAG.
2. Ask for more pics of something that would be hard to do if you didn't have the car, like the inner upper closing panel, or the side of the battery box, tell him you are worried about accident damage. If the seller can't produce these pics, red flag.
3. Ask him about doing a PPI, pre-purchase inspection, triple red flag if the guy is un-willing.

Thanks Adam, this guy is deaf so cant talk on phone!!!! You answered my query .thank you

And because he's deaf, he can't provide a chassis number.
Makes sense to me.

I normally tell these guys where they can find their money but it will take some steps to follow, and some astronomy.
1. Find a flashlight.
2. Find a dark place, like a basement or a bathroom.
3. Find your money, using the flashlight, on the dark side of Ur-Anus.

Even the deaf guys hear that one loud and clear...

It's hard to hear the numbers from the car if you can't hear well....
