[Shotimes] SHO Scams still around..FUNNY!

[Donald Mallinson]

Got this from a person advertising on the SHO Classifieds.

Since one person got taken by a scammer a year or more ago, 
I think the word is out that SHO folk are an easy mark. 
Either one person is doing all of this, or they compare 
marks like hobo's do!

Personally, I have lost track of the number of Anglican 
Priests that have coveted our SHO's and will pay a premium 
to get a worn out FWD four-door sedan to England (or Africa 
or South America...etc).    NOT!  :)

Enjoy the irony of owning an orphan car that is coveted by 
scammers!

I have protected the SHO owners identity some, but left the 
e-mail for the scammer just in case anyone wants to take him 
up on his offer!  Pray you get a good deal!  ;)
