Default I love ignorant people... Ebay Ad from hell

So i message this guy regarding his http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...AQ:MOTORS:1123"firehawk" from ebay, telling him he might want to correct the title since that car isnt a 97 unless they updated the nose, and this is how the helpful conversation ended up

ME: Unless youhave replaced the entire front clip its not a 97 its a 1998+. #2 its not a firehawk, wrong wheels and hood.

HIM: it is a 97 it says it on the title. And it is a fire hawk run the vin before you talk about something you know nothing about. The fire hawk was always a head of its time. The 98 fire hawk has the ram air hood and came with tuch screen navigation and onstar. This i know cause i work for GM as a mechanic and have a car fax report in my hand. Clean title and title as well says fire hawk. Learn the history!!!

ME: History? i owned 6 of these! No firebird camaro ever came with navigation OR onstar. That body style you have pictured is from a 98+ firebird. Why dont you google 1997 Firehawk and take a peek. And firehawks arent determined by vin number. They have a special SLP door sticker denoting what additions SLP added. Title for all firebirds states Firebird/Trans Am/ firehawk since its the same friggin Chassis/Body style. Congradulations on your GM job. Hope you never work on my Bird.

Anyone else want to **** him off and correct him with me? Thanks! Oh and if anyone has a Firehawk with FACTORY navi and onstar let me know. Ill buy it now!!!

what? you mean yours didn't come with fact. nav. and onstar? boy, you got the stripper model because everyone knows that they all came with it. Just ask the guy on ebay and he will tell you because he is a gm mechanic so he knows everything.















ebay, what do you expect, someone will buy it and believe all his bullshit.

The guy is a 100% scammer. He does not have the car, and he did not take any of those pictures. So you guys sending him messages with 100% correct information will only improve his knowledge on how to screw someone over.
The best thing to do is send him wrong information.

I just did 'Report Item'. The guy just registered in July with no previous sales or feedback. That car is clearly a normal Trans Am, end of story. The thing that did it for me was Joshu's post...Florida plates on a CT car. Also if you check out the Payment option, it says Cashier's Check or Cash(in person), only.

I sent him a message..

Hi,
This is a 1998+ model. It's NOT a Fire Hawk, you do not work for GM, and you have been reported as a scam.
Have a nice day.

Here is my response..


Ha you spelled loser wrong, guess the school in the ghetto there isn't the greatest.

You fail at life, and I highly doubt that car sold..you have nothing to prove to me regardless so I could care less. My car would smoke it's *** and anything you own.

Here, check this out..more people talking about you so you can kick their ***..lol

https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-l...y-ad-hell.html


I'll post up when he responds.


And here it is..

get a ******* life instead of playing on the computer all day wasting my time. Better yet get a girlfriend!!!

His sale was removed by Ebay.

Here was his response to me:

"it is a 97 cause thats what the title says and numbers match i am not a dumb ***. Maybe it had a converson kit put on i don't know and don't care. Please do not waste my time telling me stupid s%^&."

Looks like the little scammer got called out and ran....

His final response....

"go f--- your self!!!! Besides i just sold it for 4,500 thanks to e bay. Guess you couldn't stop anyone from buying it. Dumb *** you were just upset cause you couldn't afford one. Like i said before get a real JOB!!!!"

Odd thing is he never mentioned anything to me before about getting a job; must have got me confused with someone else who called his dumb **** out!
