User legendster claims to be an exotic car broker representing an unnamed friend in the USA.

1. legendster makes a claim of having recently sold a car for $36,000 in an "offline sale" (the car is a 911 Porsche turbo with California (US) plates -- user lives in India).
2. legendster offers us a series of photos of exotic cars he is currently offering in this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195234.msg2107280#msg2107280
3. legendster posted a photo of an Aston Martin with visible licence plate here:https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/560832_523780937656648_1588410876_n.jpg, making the match to images here: http://teamspeed.com/forums/automobiles/70436-2006-aston-martin-db9-volante-black-black-scottsdale-az.html irrefutable. The match proves photos presented by legendster are harvested from the web, having no other connection to legendster.

While the scam is absurdly juvenile and obvious on its face, and the odds of legendster successfully scamming anyone are laughable, mere presence of such low-grade cons on the Marketing/goods forum casts a shadow on the legitamacy of Bitcointalk.org as a reasonable place to conduct commerce. User legendster has been accused of scamming by several users within just the thread i've linked to above. User legendster is a Hero Member. Though "Hero Member" does not actually denote trustworthiness, the wording unquestionably implies it to new users. It's time to give legendster a scammer tag.

MODS: Even if you think it's a 13yr-old boy, and i'd say that's more likely than not, don't let these forums become a known hangout where 13yr-old boys can hone their scamming skilz. Without fearing anything, not even a scammer tag, when they're caught.

1. AGENT for a broker in California, I collect contacts & forward it to him, so if I disclose the name the would be 'contacts' would directly contact him instead of me

Please don't pretend to be an idiot or take me for one.
Definition of Broker, from M.W. online dictionary:

1 : one who acts as an intermediary: as
a : an agent who arranges marriages
b : an agent who negotiates contracts of purchase and sale (as of real estate, commodities, or securities)

The title of your thread is "Buying/Selling Exotic Cars (Through Broker)" But you're not the seller. Or the broker. You're a ... broker for a broker? Seems borked to me.

EDIT: English is not my native language either -- don't bother with the race card.

2. I DID NOT SELL THAT CAR. My friend BROKERED IT FOR HIS CLIENT !

You had nothing to do with that car, I get it. Why spam trading boards with pointless graphics?

3. Go back to the post & see the source of the Pic.

I did. What's your connection to Le Cruze Exotics (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Le-Cruze-exotics/132800936743624)?
L.C. Exotics? (a cropped & shopped logo of Le Cruze Exotics, different Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/LC-Exotics/115837658461483)?
Why did you try to blur out the account name in the pic you posted? Why didn't you bother to check if your image could be mined for personal info & leave it in the screencap for me to find?

4. There should probably be a "Troll Accusation Board" so I can post your and some other member's names there.

Perhaps. 'Til that happy time, let's stick to the topic at hand.
