Hi Heuer fans,

This message is meant as a warning against a person, or group of people, trying to cheat Ebayers that have unsuccesfully bid on vintage Monacos.
It happened to me 1,5 week ago and I lost 1700 USD.
I will try to explain what happened. After I ended second offering for a 1970 Monaco I was contacted by a person under the name Amanda Krugger from Brussels, Belgium. She wrote that she had the same Monaco that she wanted to sell me for USD 1700,-. The referred to the fact that she had excellent Ebay credentials under the E-bay name Jason675. I checked this and was satisfied with what I saw.
To do the transaction safely she suggested Escrow-Agent.net. I logged into this website ( extremely professional looking) and registered as a customer.Little later I got an e-mail from Escrow-agent.net saying that A. Krugger had opened a transaction with me. I was asked to pay Escrow-agent through Western-Union refering to the transaction number that I had received.I did this to the agent indicated ( a Mr. Fontana Baldese in Rome, Italy).

After some days I got suspicious. Krugger did not answer my e-mails anymore, the Escrow-agent.net website was on and off the web.I started investigating and found out through Escrow.com that Escrow-agent.net was considered a fraudulous company.
I also found out that the seller used a "stolen E-bay identity". I contacted the owner of Jason675 who wrote me that his E-bay identity had been abused several times now. In some way they had been able to change the "location" of Jason675 to Belgium ( the real Jason675 is from Michigan).

Anyhow, I am absolutely pissed off by this. I have lost my hopes to retrieve my money, but will not let these people get away with it. I pressed charges against this Mr Baldese ( have his address)and informed Escrow.com.

So please be aware if you get e-mails from people offering a 1970's Monaco ( Blue-white) with original papers and box.
Important names to remember: Amanda Krugger- Fontana Baldese- Jasson675@aol.com (website Krugger), Escrow-Agent.net

Question: I would like to add one of the photographs that I received from the seller ( maybe somebody recognizes the photo) but do not know how to add this in as an URL file. Can anybody give me the tip?
