rider Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 There is a listing for a 2jz-GTE complete engine and V161 gearbox running on Fleabay that is a fraudulent listing. Pictures ripped from a USA sale so best avoided. Dodgy seller account also has ripped listings for other engine/gearbox combinations running. I've reported the sale item to Fleabay but they aren't the quickest in the World at pulling this kind of fraud attempt listing. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JDM-TOYOTA-SUPRA-2JZGTE-6-SPEED-ENGINE-SUPRA-GETRAG-TRANSMISSION-V161-SARD-ECU-/112219672411?hash=item1a20d04f5b:g:tSgAAOSwB09YOJF8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackyBoi Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 That's disgusting. Every November/December the fraudsters go mental in order to get cash for Christmas, it pisses me right off. What's worse is so many people see a 'bargain', don't think it through, pay for it, then never get their bloody money back! The protocol to get money back from a scam is utterly useless too. I try to avoid eBay over winter, for this reason [emoji23] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraLEDrears Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 That's been on there for years. Guy is apparently in Wiltshire but give you a scottish number. They give you a fake paypal address and then say do a transfer instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassbones Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Anyone stupid enough to PayPal someone thousands of pounds deserves to be scammed!!! I would be turning up at his doorstep with a van and cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam27 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 In the pictures there is a North American phone number on the sign, and the cars parked have no front number plates! After a bit of digging i found the original advert from a company in Canada called Osaka Jdm auto, same spelling errors and all. Messaged the seller to call him out saying i want to see the engine and he said it's in Austria! Total scumbag, i hope nobody is gullable enough to actually send him money.

rider Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 His last 2 feedbacks were very positive... but received the item very quickly, oddly both bought the same engine! Same mileage too. Identical item, identical price and both delivered for £5 postage. I'd like to know that courier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 People are actually bidding on it too, so someone is in line to get ripped off unfortunately. How people keep falling for these I'll never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 There was a thread on here from somebody not 2 weeks ago that actually sent the money for this engine. It does the round every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
