BEWARE!! Scam Alert! Donna Newman and Citi Auto Brokers

[twobjshelbys]

Info about this was posted in the Ford GT forum and Shelby (his real name), one of the highest volume Ford GT and other exotic dealers, has asked to post info everywhere. She seems to focus on high end cars, and it seems inevitable that she will eventually find her way into the higher end Shelby and Mustangs (e.g., KR, GT350, Cobra). She is claiming to be doing business out of the Chicago area.

She is making forum rounds and has already been evicted from the Ford GT forum and SAAC forum.

I'm quoting a portion of his post here:

Just a quick, friendly warning to all my FORD GT friends out there. A person going by the name DONNA NEWMAN with CITI AUTO BROKERS has targeted Ford GTs, FORD GT owners and FORD GT dealers. She is a FRAUD. She has scammed several people I know, including some dealers, out of thousands of dollars. Donna Newman is not even her real name. If you have been, or are ever contacted by this person, BEWARE. She is a scam artist. This is a fact. I personally have not been scammed by her, but she took me on a wild goose chase a year or so ago and I figured her out and steered clear of her, BUT as of late, she has scammed some people I know out of thousands of dollars and I know that she is still contacting people. AGAIN, BEWARE.

The entire thread can be found here:

She is apparently very slick. At least one very knowledgeable dealer was sucked into her web so be very careful.

If anyone has been contacted by her, and wants to help put an end to it, go to the Ford GT forum and contact Shelby or give me your contact info and I will pass it on. With the right location (Illinois, apparently) some enforcement by local law enforcement might be possible.
