SCAM ALERT

[2001 GTS]

I almost got scammed and another person I am in contact with really got hit.

eBay Motors: Dodge Viper GTS ACR 5 Point Harnesses 99 2000 2001 2002 (item 250262902990 end time Jun-30-08 20:39:05 PDT)

These ACR belts and other items he is selling are fakes!

Just a heads up.

No Sneaky Pete's on the roundel/buckle should have tipped you off.

When you enlarge the picture you can see where they blacked out the logo in paint or something. Didn't think much of it at the time...

Using a photoshopped photo of an OEM harness is fraud for sure, and he should be reported to eBay, for all that would help.

If he had used the same words and showed an actual photo of the harness he is selling, it wouldn't be a scam since he doesn't say that it is OEM.

Just goes to show how easy it is for even a savvy buyer to be lead into making the wrong assumptions.

Thanks for the heads up !!

The Sneaky Pete is not necessarily an indicator. I've had Two 2000 ACR's and neither had a Sneaky Pete on the buckles. The belts were made by MOMO and had a red anodized quick release. Dodge replacement belts (recall) were really cheesy quality. I refused to install them in my car. It was'nt the webbing that looked bad, rather the hardware. I can upload pic's of both styles if anyone cares.

One of the best clues is the fact that the guy couldn't even spell....T.......H......E.....! "NEW IN TEH BOX"?
