Default Another eBay Scam

Beware of another eBay scam by "deborahlong-cars". I have been in contact with eBay and they have pulled the 1969 Camaro (#4623366565). You can view the car at:

http://www.deborahlong-cars.com/

Stay tuned...

The "seller" goes as far as sending a very official looking page from eBay saying they have $20,000 held by eBay in case I, the "buyer", am not completely satisfied.
I sent this information to eBay and they confirmed it WAS NOT generated by them and they do not hold money in escrow as stated.

FYI: Any correspondence with eBay will show up in your "messages" folder under "MY EBAY". Always compare what you receive via e-mail with what is in your "messages" folder.

Beware ! ! !

Now let's see what kind of response we get to this line of 'bs'.


Perfect timing. My friend who will inspect the car for me is traveling to Italy on business. He said he would bring you cash (euros) and take the car with him (once he has inspected the car). This will save you the expense of shipping to the U.S. He and I ship cars back and forth to Europe so this car will be shipped to me (by him) with the Ferrari I have recently purchased. Please attach your address and phone number so that he can make arrangements to contact you.

Hi,

Thank you for your email.

If you are really interested in purchasing it and you can arrange the
payment asap, I will sell it to you and I will cover all shipping and
insurance charges to your location. If you want to inspect it it's not a problem for me, please let me know.
To get started, please reply with your full name and shipping address and I
will proceed with the shipping and insurance charges right away.

Regards!

I would like to inspect the 1969 Camaro before making the purchase but I understand it is Italy. Can I have someone overseas come and inspect the car for me?

Rich

Same thing, overseas issues, states having large financial security, wanting to be reimbursed with US cash or whatever...I baited a guy like this and agreed to sell him the cycle I had for sale.
I almost begged him to come take it from me and I played along with his price and I even upped him more with his sham and then the emails stopped!
I kept sending him more emails begging him to come and get the cycle; still no replies!

I think this topic has been discussed around here somewhere before; I think it is nearly impossible to get a fraudulent check from someone who is not a US citizen and not having a US bank account to be covered for the losses incurred!



Some people must think we are completely stupid or something!




Couldnt Earthlink be notified of this issue happening?
