Latest SCAM on Ebay

I swear I have seen that car for sale someplace else. Aren't those Colorado plates on the car?

Ebay's getting better, already gone!

I sent him an email and this is his response. Notice most scams cross international boundries... Hello,


First of all let me tell you that I am pleased that are interested in my
eBay auction.
The 'pre-approved buyer' feature has been added to prevent non serious
buyers from ending the auction early, I hope you have no problem with that.

You have to know that this car is in excelent condition, no flaws or dents,
no scratches or any kind of damage, no flood or wrecked, the interior looks
like new.

I am it's second owner, the first owner was my father. Just to realize that
this car is as described, you have to know that my father never even let me
touch it, when I was a kid.

I'm selling the car, because I just moved to Netherlands; my wife is from
Amsterdam and she wanted to be closer to her parents. They are old and very
ill...

We are expecting a baby in a few weeks and I really want to improve the old
house we bought when we moved in time for the baby. I have bought and
registered the car back in the United States, but unfortunately I wasn't
able to register it here in Europe. For that I have pay a very big fee and I
will also have to start an individual procedure for the vehicle through the
Government and I really can't afford those expenses right now with the baby
on the way.
Those are the reasons why the price I want for it is just $6,100.00 USD
including the shipping and insurance charges.

Shipping will be done by airfreight and the car will arrive within 1 week.
The car will be inssured at the shipping company for the transport.
All documents, including owner's manual in english, clear title and bill of
sale will be provided along with the car.
The transaction will be made under eBay's buyer protection plan called
Square Trade.
I'm a serious seller and a honest trader and I prefer to deal only with a
serious buyer. If you consider yourself one please e-mail me back so we can
start our deal.


Regards,

This guy is still using the same verbage except that he's not soldier now! What a Slock!

He forgot to start the Email with "Once upon a time" and to end it with "happily ever after"

Wasn't this one up just last week?

Perfect, I e-mailed him and asked where in Scottsdale can I pick the car up since I live in the area...

Lets go for two:

There are a lot of scams centered around the Pantera lately.
Someone has got better software then Ebay does.
The software is so good that they can steal your pics and post them with an earlier starting date then you can.
This makes it look like you stole thier pictures from thier auction.
Ebay doesn't know what to do about any of this.Be very cautious of anything that seems to be to good of a deal. Look out for private auctions as well.
If it is to good to be true , it probably is.
This auction is back. Maybe it's the Devil?

Different seller, different location, same response.

I've stumbled onto a number of these lately - I'm looking for a clean E36 BMW 325i with a 5-speed. The scammers seem to like posting on craigslist a lot too. For a while, I would tell them I'm interested, exchange a couple emails with them about what I have to do to send my money and get the car, then send them one of those email viruses and tell them it's the transaciton/wire confirmation from my bank. Hahaha...

Cheers!
