  • I too was scammed by Roberto Ambrosi except mine was for a 1969 Tribute Camaro. They have a pretty soficistated scam going. Hopefully you didn't sent them the money like i did for $9K. I thought I was buying through EBay motors and it turns out that it wasn't e-bay. They used all of e-bays forms, logo's, wording, guarantee, etc. Also e-bay feels tha they have no responsibility towards this and is doing nothing to prevent scams like this from happening. I got concerned when "e-bays aked for a second deposit!! That's when the red flag went up for me. However, the damage was done, they have my money. Just for the fun of it I called customer service again "1-877-209-7125" and they answered and when I asked about my deposit refund they hung up. I called back again and said I was cut off and when I menting the refund they cut me off again. BTW "Peter who answered th phone forgot his name on the original call. Than hevans he rememberd it on my second call back.
