The Thread listed above is BS. good job on the forum moderator. Props for closing the thread.
The thread is a prank, listed on many forums with similar stories, I was talking about it with a friend and on his forums he had something similar. VW vortex. Everyone is calling it BS and a prank.

heres the same story:
recently had listed my R32 on sale on craigslist in NYC about 2 weeks ago. I got plenty of calls and plently of potential buyers willing to purchase my car. So one potential buyer calls me from Miami that had alot of intrest in my car. So we agreed on a price of 18K that was contingent upon wheter or not he liked my car. He also asked me if I could write the car as a gift by putting $0 on the Bill Of Sale and the Title so he could avoid paying sales taxes in Florida. He said that this is a general legal procedure which people follow when doing a private sale this would help him save money by not paying taxes since he is paying his travel expenses to see my car. I talked to my tax advisor and he said this was fine and I can also deduct this sale off my taxes. So yesterday on thursday the buyer flew into NYC to pick up my car. He gave me a Capital One Auto Loan Check for 18K in which I went to my bank to verify funds. My bank said the funds were good and its basically a Certified Cashiers Check. So I gave the buyer a Bill Of Sale and NY Title with $0 on it, and he drove back to Miami. So I go to my bank today and they tell me the 18K Capital One Auto Loan check had a stop payment issued on it. We called Capital One, and they said they issued a stop payment because the buyer told them he lost the check so they voided the check and issued him a new one. So I call the buyer today and no answer. Am I screwed ? I think I might have to go down to Miami and pay him a visit. It appears that I am out of my money and car since I dont have any funds. Is their anything I can do legally ? I think my car is stolen. Please help.
Dont waste our time this is a legit forum which i found most helpful as many other lexus owners. Ive enjoyed this community so far.
