Yep, that's what I was getting at. I think there should be a rule here like on some other car forums where any seller is required to put a piece of paper with their forum name and date and include in the photos to prove it's in their possession.

Yeah I agree. It's a shame we have to go through procedures like that to prove legitness but with posts like this you have to . This is for Craigslist not Porsche forums.

As a former professional graphic artist - I can say with authority that the second photo is only half fake. The right side of it had amateur use of the 'clone' tool, probably to hide something to the right of the car. (Domestic minivan, fat neighbor, whatever...)
That's not to say the rest of the ad doesn't scream FAKE - but there you have it.

Great - my first post, and I'm (half) defending a scammer.
Smooth move....
