I saw this one posted on ebay... Noticed the Texas Tags and seller is from Columbus Ohio... This threw up the red flag right away.

 

wow, you should def notify ebay.

 

Notified them just now. We'll see how long they take to pull it.

 

Response from the ebay member:

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT - HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING SINCE YESTERDAY NOT MY CAR - DO NOT WHO OR HOW GOT PUT IN MY EBAY ACCT - REPORTED YESTERDAY & EARLIER THIS MORNING TO REPORT EBAY "POSSIBLE" SCAM

Looks like someone got his account information.

 

The guy trying to rip people off didn't read my e-mail correctly and responded with the following thinking I was wanting to buy it. Here is what he wrote:

Hello,
I'm letting this beauty go for $ 21,500 US only because i have serious financial problems and my family needs the money asap.
The car has a clean title, very well maintained, always garage kept, no rust, excellent condition, runs and sounds 100% perfect with no leaks or noises. All power and optional equipments are working perfect
For the moment i'm deployed to Hawaii (Hickam Air Force Base) and the car is in kept in garage back in US but you don't have to worry because i can arrange shipping for free within US.
I will give you the chance to receive and inspect the car before giving me the money by using eBay Vehicle Protection Program.As you can read on eBay they offer maximum $50,000 protection and since the price for my car is much lower we can use this program.They act like a third party so we can both be protected.
If you are interested to buy my car just provide me your ebay user name ,full name and shipping address so i can setup the transaction on eBay Vehicle Protection Program and they will contact you with all necessary details.
Thanks

Would there be anything else that I can help you with today?

We'll see if they follow through.

 

glad you are getting this straightened out....glws...beautiful car

 

Ebay still hasn't pulled it. I don't know what is wrong with them.

 

Reply to the scammer telling him you want to buy the car and have the money in hand! You just need his bank account number and his birthdate or SSN to proceed with sending him the money using the ebay vehicle protection program.

 

Ttt
