The FBI thinks most of this is done from Africa and Russia and both are very good with computers. Might also be Chinese. I have heard that lots of the computers coming from China have a back door for China to access it when you have it. Is there any built in U.S.?
On the IP address. If you use a VPN does that not go away. When we did business in China I was using a VPN and it made me look like I was in California. I was sitting in my office one day listening to Pink Floyd off youtube and guy came by and wanted to know who it was. I told him Floyd and he had never heard of them. Using the VPN I could go to any web site I wanted. I made purchases off ebay and craigslist while in China.
If the FBI was unable to get any funds back from the $25,000,000 stolen last year there must be a way to hide for sure. Might do a search of my emails all 23,547 of them and see if I can find it. Takes too long to erase them so they just pile up.
Only deal face to face and go to a bank to close the deal. Always do an inspection of the car yourself, trust nobody else.
I think I told about the 1965 GT-350 that was brought to my friends shop to look at doing some work. It had been verified by the Shelby American group to be real and correct.
When Clay, my friend that restores cars, walked around the car he told the guy something did not look right about the top. He asked if he could pull the back seat out, was not and R model. With the seat out and rear panels you could see the car started life as a coupe and was made into a fastback.
When they looked under the inner fender well they had cut the VIN# out of a crashed Shelby and welded into the inner fender of the coupe and had never bothered to grind the welds on the bottom side.
The Shelby people just want your money they care nothing about helping you. BTW the engine in the car blew on his way home. No recourse Sold as is Where is. You should always include that in any BOS you do car, home anything.
