Attached is the email that guy sent
Hello ,
Oh OK. Here are the pics so I can be sure we talk about the same one.
The unit is a C2 Procharger supercharger with a Spearco intercooler.
Unorthodox Racing made the brackets and tubing. The pullies are from
Gates and Procharger.
2002 CLK 55 ran 12.62 with 5.1 lbs of boost and 13.09 with 2.8 lbs of
boost in the 1/4 mile.
The kit includes the supercharger, brackets, intake and charge tubes,
all silicone fittings, blow-off valve, custom air-to-air intercooler,
custom pullies, 12:1 fuel regulator, and vacuum lines to back of
vehicle.
All tubes and brackets are powercoated silver. This will work with
CLK 430 or 55. I have no dyno numbers from this kit.
Let me know about the price, how about $2200 ?
Thanks !

Subject: Re[2]: Question about shipping for item - Mercedes CLK 430 or 55 intercooled Supercharger system
Hello ,
The unit can only be shipped because we are distributors and we have
contracts with the street stores in our area. So we cannot allow
pickups at our location UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, or else we could go
to court and lose money if we don't follow the rules in the contracts.
However, you can receive and check the kit before we got your payment.
For payment, we would use eBay purchase protection system. eBay
will act like a secure third party between us. We don't know each
other yet, so we need a safe way to complete our first business
together.
IF YOU WANT TO USE PURCHASE PROTECTION UNDER EBAY, PLEASE CONFIRM.
eBay will give you exact instructions on what you need to do so you
can stay safe in this transaction. I will need your name and shipping
address. If you want to give me these details after the transaction
was approved, this works too. By the way, my name is Paul Jackson.
Please be patient while I set up the transaction under eBay's system.
eBay will contact you when everything is ready and you got the
purchase protection for our business deal.
Just to let you know, these are the usual steps to follow (I quote
from eBay's instructions of previously completed transactions):
1. Buyer and seller agree on the transaction terms and the selling
price. Seller contacts eBay with the transaction details;
2. eBay analyzes the transaction and accepts or declines it. If the
transaction is approved, eBay offers full purchase protection to the
buyer. If the transaction is declined, no further action is required
from either the buyer or the seller;
3. The buyer sends the payment according to the instructions from
eBay. The seller then has three business days to ship the merchandise.
If the delivery doesn't take place within this time frame, the amount
insured is sent back to the buyer within 3 business days;
4. Buyer receives the merchandise and inspects it. If it is as
previously described by the seller, the buyer has to accept the
merchandise and the seller is paid by eBay within 3 business days. If
it is not as described, the buyer can either cancel the transaction or
negotiate a lower price with the seller. If the transaction is
cancelled, the amount insured is sent back to the buyer within 3
business days.
Let me know ASAP, thanks !!

I found another person who almost got scammed by the same tool.
Hello all,
I am now in the process of trying to purchase an outboard motor that I had seen on e-bay from ahotmotoring. I had asked the seller a few questions, and then the auction ended. A few days later, the seller tried to strike up a deal with me via e-mail. Well things were going along smoothly until he started talking about this escrow thing and I started getting worried. I kept fishing him along and finally he sent me instructions on how to send my payment to his ebay agent in london (Jack Stanley). Well, why would I send money to london for a motor that is in the US??? He looks ligit right down to the ebay logos on his e-mail, but I called the only escrow company I found on the e-bay site and they told me stay away. I am still stringing him along, trying to get more info, but I will not do this deal at all. Stay away from ahotmotoring.

Hello ,
Sorry for the delay, I have a family member in the devastated area of
New Orleans so the last days were a hell for me.
I have set up the escrow transaction through eBay. Let me know if you
got their email explaining what you must do to complete this
transaction. If you didn't, I will ask them to send it once again.
In short, you have to send the money to eBay and they will pay us
after you decided to keep the item. First pay eBay, then notify me you
did so I can complete my part of this transaction.
If you need more help with this, just let me know. I will help you
as much as I can.
Thanks for buying from us !

New name same scam
Heres an Email I received about a month ago from "motoringline".com. I got suspicous when s/he couldn't provide photos of the system off the vehicle.
Looks to be the same exact scam you talked about.
Hello ,
This is about the Mercedes CLK 430 or 55 intercooled Supercharger
system
we had for sale on eBay. We have ended the item on eBay because we
didn't set a reserve price on it and we can't afford losing money
letting it go for whatever the bid was at.
We also have it listed in our online store www.motoringline.com and
the price is negotiable.
Check the pictures attached to this email. Also let me know what is
the maximum you can afford to pay.
You may check our items before paying them for 5 days. We do offer a
safe transaction, so we get paid after you inspected and approved the
item(s). Otherwise you ship them back on our cost. We use a trusted
third party who will hold the payment for us. If you don't keep the
item(s), ask your money back at the end of inspection period or
sooner.
Also, we do guarantee your satisfaction after the sale. Every item we
sell is backed with a complete 30 day money back warranty, no strings
attached. However when you return it after the 5th day, you will pay
for shipping it back.
More about the item:
The unit is a C2 Procharger supercharger with a Spearco intercooler.
Unorthodox Racing made the brackets and tubing. The pullies are from
Gates and Procharger. We don't offer a kit for the 320 yet.
2002 CLK 55 ran 12.62 with 5.1 lbs of boost and 13.09 with 2.8 lbs of
boost in the 1/4 mile.
The kit includes the supercharger, brackets, intake and charge tubes,
all silicone fittings, blow-off valve, custom air-to-air intercooler,
custom pullies, 12:1 fuel regulator, and vacuum lines to back of
vehicle.
All tubes and brackets are powercoated silver. This will work with CLK
430 or 55. Will give about 40% more HP to the wheels with 5.1 lbs of
boost.
Check the pictures. How about $2200 with shipping included for this
kit?
Thanks and let me know if you're interested!

I noticed your photos
And after searching the forums for the owner before you I came across this thread. The pictures motoringline sent me show the intake manifold painted red but everything else looks just like the photos you posted.

No., the red intake manifold car was oringially from another member..his car was black clk55. he was the guy who did the actual modding and frabractions for the system.
I bought it used.. and did some more modification to it...
if you dig it up a bit you will still find some posts between him and other members.,., like grec c , etc etc.
