. He laid out just how thorough VNKC had been, explaining that he had been in talks with the company for five weeks by the time he put down a $500 deposit on the SUV.
“I have a copy of the title, the bill of lading, the bill of sale, the VIN number,” he said. “It never arrived. After the shipping date, the number I had been calling went dead.”Alarmingly, although the VNKC listing for the vehicle has now vanished, when he looked for it onSimilarly, Diana Kirkpatrick, of Aiken, South Carolina, said she foundon Auto Trader that she was interested in.
The Blazer’s buyer says that he is now working with the FBI, as well as Oklahoma’s attorney general, and that he has been in touch with Maine’s attorney general’s office. Strangely, the latter said it had not received any complaints, but that victims could reach out to its Consumer Protection Division.
Although the people behind this scam have not yet been found, the ISP for VNKC LLC’s website was registered with a Lithuanian internet service provider. Unfortunately for the victims, though, scams like these are easier to perpetrate than they are to investigate, and police suggest that public education and awareness are the keys to preventing them.

Used BMW M1 Factory test car Only 22087 km, Stunning condition throughout! Inka orange color scheme for saleIt is in the late 1970s when BMW starts a collaboration with Lamborghini to produce a homologation model so that it can race in the Group 5 class and compete against rivals such as Porsche. At that time, however, it was not feasible for BMW to build four hundred cars, so contact was made with the Italian sports car manufacturer.

Under the tailgate a 3,453 cc measuring DOHC straight-six engine with Bosch Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection. 277 hp strong and coupled to a five-speed manual ZF gearbox. After the men in Stuttgart have finished, the cars move once more to BMW in Munich to be handed over to the first owners in a specially equipped room. 399 road-going M1s will be built. The M1 you see here is the third example built according to factory production data and the first production car to be delivered to a dealer in Germany.
