I know fraud is extremely difficult to prove so I figure law enforcement would love to pounce on an opportunity like this.

the reason why i continued to message this guy, is because I realized the scam, just before I shipped it out. But instead of just letting him go, i decided to keep messaging him, acting like everything was OK. and he was expecting to pickup my evo at the shipping yard. but in the mean time, I did the CSI work, and figured out who he was anyways.

Hope it gets sorted out...Do you have your car back now then? and haven't paid anything? Just your tow company fee's I guess....? |
I got some repairs done to the car, and replacing some parts to accomodate the trade, and the towing yes. Not out much money, just time. Could have been alot worse.
And yes, car safe and sound. And in its best shape its ever been.
