Something shady there.

I saw the same thing and I have emailed him, but two days and still no response...

yeah.. its hokie.. i questioned a 2007 BMW m5 seller on ebay once.. he had no legit pics.. never got a response.. probably hoping some idiot would paypal the full amount so they can take the money and run..

looks like a scam to me, but the reserve isnt met so its not like its going for that price

You missed the Buy it now price...($28,000) so his reserve has got to be near there. Still incredibly low.

I looked at other auctions where he was the seller and his Locations are different.

Remember that email address? moldo77@gmail.com?

Well there is a member (from Israel ) with that same screen name.
Look here http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...edbackAsSeller

He's obviously logged into someone elses ebay account and set up this fake auction.

I'm reporting it to Ebay security now so check it out

he should've considered an enthusiast coming across his posting ;)

Ok, I've done a little investigating.

If you right-click the main picture in the description and go to the properties it comes up as http://the-new-times.net/pic/tinex.jpg

So I googled just the domain, http://the-new-times.net and it came up on a bunch of fraudulent website lists. See Here

I see these foreigners try to pull this crap all the time on eBay.

I'd like to know what possesses them to think that Americans are as dumb and gullable as they are?

You can't shit a bunch of bullshitters, son!:p

This scam has been going on for a long time with the internet and Ebay. I have first hand personal knowledge. I was selling my 2001 Audi A6 4.2 on autotrader back in 2003 or so. To make the long story short someone that had pretended to want to buy my car had asked me for pictures a copy of the title (to verify I was the original owner etc.) had taken the info. I gave to them and posed as the owner of my car and put it up for sale on Ebay for a much lower price that what it was worth.

Here's how I found out about this. I got a call one Friday from some guy asking me "so where's the car?" I replied with "are you calling about the car I have for sale?" He kept "asking where's the car?". Needless to say the conversation was very odd to me as this person was irritated. Well it turns out he was the guy who bought my car from the phony ebay seller and wired the full amount to the "supposed seller". He was then given my information as the person to contact to pick up the vehicle. I ended up calling the local police because the guy kept calling me thinking that I had scammed him even though I knew nothing about him or the Ebay scam until all of this unfolded.

He was scammed out of 28K and never got a thing. I talked to the officer about it and he said they discovered the person who pretended to sell my car had money wired to some Romanian Escro account. The guy who got scammed never got his money back.

That's why I don't trust Ebay....so what happened to the guy pretend to sell your car?

If I had to guess, I'd say he made an easy 28 G's :rolleyes:

Sounds like im taking the wrong career path!

I don't think he ever got caught as the officer said it's very difficult to trace the original source. Now whether the guy who got scammed pursued chasing his money with an inverstigator I'm not sure of. The guy who got scammed did end up calling me a few days after his initial calls to me to apologize. The police officer I had called had callled him to let him know he got scammed by someone else and that I had nothing to do with it. The officer or course did some investigation first before calling the guy who got scammed.

When i was selling my a4 I had someone interested in buying the car. I was selling it for $9200 and the idot sent me a check for $12k and wanted me to take $10k and send him the difference, of course the check was fake. There are people that get scammed, Thats why I don't accept checks unless it's certified and before I give the vehicle i need to verify thats it's legit. Also you will notice these A holes usually can't spell or their sentences don't have proper contex or grammar.

That's terrible! I guess we all have different types of luck - I am extremely lucky, as I just inherited four million dollars from the Nigerian prince...I just sent him my banking information today, so I'm sure it's just a matter of time before I'm driving a brand new R8! I'm so excited!!!! LoL

Funniest shit I heard all day!:D

That's funny as I've gotten that same email in the past. It's amazing what some people will do to avoid having to work for their money.
