Ok, here is the deal. I was just perusing the internet looking at late 1920's Packards and others. (it is snowing outside). I ran across a website "TROVIT" that had a significant list of Packards as well as other cars for sale. OK, thought I, I would test the water on one of these bargain priced automobiles.....just to see what the validity of the ad would be. The Yellow car, shown above, at this time was shown to be from Nevada City California, Just over the hump west of Reno. I did get a response, that very quickly directed me on how to make the purchase quick and easy. I am old school, and generally don't just jump in water not knowing how deep, how dirty or what else is floating around in the cesspool, (I suspected a foul scammer). I asked a few very telling questions, none of which were answered but did learn that the car car is now located in a small town in north east Montana, not California, not Florida or any where else the stolen identity of this car has been used in an attempt to scam money from antique automobile enthusiasts. I have probably been cussed in the past for proceeding slowly, the old school way, and it bothers me that our Intenet has almost turned into a cesspool where we have to watch, figuratively,every step we take. No more rant from me on this subject, I just encourage any of us, if we find ourself in a position to to stop this flagrant foul business method of scammers....stand up and do what you can.
