Scam Alert: Silver '73 Targa on eBay
I'm almost 100% sure this is a scam. This car has been on Craigslist all over the US with a low price. New seller with 0 feedback. Offers free shipping. The biggest giveaway is the phone number. If you do a reverse search on whitepages.com, it shows up as a VoIP. Scammers use VoIP to trick people into thinking they are legit with a "real" phone number. $20k? Too good to be true.

Reported it - if enough people do the same, eBay will pull it.

NO QUESTION BIG SCAM
These guys always post the cars with free shipping to your door...RUN. It's unreal the amount of scammers on eBay today and they cannot do a thing about it. I listed a nice car on eBay last week and the bidding was going good and a scammer bid on the car. I told eBay of course I got the Phillipines, and eBay cancelled his bid but ruined my auction, he did it 1 hour before closing....so it took a hour calling eBay and it was over then, they offered a free listing, big deal, it's only 6 bucks to list. Then eBay refused to tell me how all this is going on....to me eBay is just turning into a tool to get your car advertised, most wait for he auction to end to deal with the seller. |

I reported as a fraudulent listing... we'll see how quickly eBay acts.
