Pics from all over the world = scam. In this case, the scam is the $500 viewing fee. I bet you have to pay it in advance.
Exactly what I was thinking, luckily the scammer is a little out of touch on their "package price" so it's not likely to cause the stampede of speculators they are hoping for.
ya, i agree and thats kind of what i was getting at
a scam is a scam, but what is this seller getting at...?
no doubt it reeks of fishy shenanigans, but i was also originally thinking that this seller may have "something", its just not worth posting real pics of it because its all junk, and he/she will get more interest being vague and throwing around some big numbers!
so we do a little digging...the seller has 24 listings on kijiji and 1 add is of a bay window middle seat...
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?adId=1029455362the pics of the bay window middle seat have "thesamba.com" watermark on them like when you place an add on that site. so we go to thesamba.com and search the bay window parts section for "middle seat" and we find this...
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2184385the seats look different. the one in the kijiji add is cleaner, has painted legs & has seat belts. but the white stuffing underneath the left side of both seats is very similar. i think they may be the same seats.
also if we look at thesamba.com sellers other adds we see an add for 4 westys...

plus, the grammar/spelling/text in the adds is very similar.
so, i think this is the same guy/seller. rob (ROCKET), hopefully his health issues aren't too serious, he's been a member on thesamba.com for almost 13 years, he's got 24 adds on kijiji and he's got westy's and vw stuff. and i think we can all agree that he'll never get anywhere remotely close to 350k for 55 westy's. and the chances of him getting anyone to pay $500 for a viewing are slim to none, and slim just got banned from the asf...
...but...will we ever know how many westy's he actually has?
