This is your typical rip off artist at work. There was one on Ebay with the same MO. Just send me $3,000 for shipping
(from Italy)(his grandfather died and he was selling it from the estate)and and I will ship it to you. This was for a 1970 Boss 429 Mustang he was 'selling' for $8,800!? He was caught after I went to Ebay about him. Ebay is doing a lot to keep the scammers away. Do not think this is a everyday thing. I buy a lot of parts off Ebay and have had no problems.

Yeah........I found a '69 L-88 for sale for $9,000.  Same story, her brother died & she would ship the car from Portugal.

I have met with several people from E-Bay's fraud dept. and it's amazing how many of these get posted.  They are usually purged from E-Bay in a day or two.

I really hope no one has fallen for this (I'm sure some have), the scam is pretty obvious, but I guess some people can't resist a hidden gem.

I just had to tow the car out from a guy who thought he got a good deal on a '98 Tahoe for $2,500.  When I told him that it was stolen, it finally made sense to him why he never got the title

I have some ocean-front property here in Dallas, and am willing to let this 75 acres go for $29.95. I have no use for it since my horsie, "Ed" died. Please send me your banking info for the transfer of funds, and I will leave the keys under the mat for you. But wait....that's not all..........if you act in the next 15 minutes, I'll double the acreage to 150, and give you free access to the laundry-room.

Which side of the shore line is that ocean front property?  The wet side or dry side?  Wet side gives a new meaning to save the wave!
