Another Ebay Scam

Put my 85 Cab on ebay and thought I had it sold. Price was reasonable but buyer had no history. I thought well someone just signed up to buy the car. First communication is they are on a boat in France and can only send paypal. I didn't like that so I called Ebay and Paypal. They both said it appeared safe to continue. So sent an email where to send funds and the next one I get back they want to send extra then have me Western Union the extra to the pick up guy. No friggin way was I going to do that. Got back to ebay and paypal and turned them in.

Offered the car to second place bidder but haven't heard anything yet. Just wanted to remind people to be carefull with online auctions.

Another ebay scam - recent white 74 2.7 US carrera on ebay supposidly in Rhode Island. Sent a note and said I wanted to come see it. I never got a response so I didn't pursue. A week letter I get a note from the "owner" that the deal fell through or he was away blah blah blah with more pictures of the car. when you open the pictures a virus try's to slip in.

Hi there!

I apologize for answering so late. I had to leave urgently on a business trip so I didn't get the chance to reply.

I am emailing to let you know that the 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera is still available. I could not get the deal done because the buyer did not get his loan approved. I am still interested to sell and I am willing to let it go for less as long as we get this done faster. Buy it now price: $8,500.00

I have also attached a few pictures of the car.

Let me know if you are still interested. Thank you!

Dave,
I will not return to USA sooner than 2 weeks. But the car is in Eugene, OR.
However, shipping is already paid, because my buyer changed his mind after I have made the arrangements to ship the car.
The trucking company would not refund me but can ship it to anywhere within continental US, so I've left it at their warehouse and it's ready to ship at anytime.
The car has some minor scratches on the back...have you checked the pics on Kodak? Here is the link again (VIRUS)Link
