    Many thank you's!

    I appreciate the offers of assistance, but I just had to raise and post the B.S. flag on this deal and let others know the type of ignorant crappola that is out there!

    THOSE OTHERS IN THE MARKET TAKE HEED!!!

    I am NOT pursuing this deal, but THANK YOU for the offers of assistance!

    I sent an email to the real owner of this vehicle and sent them your link - hopefully they will be able to do something about it. It would be great if one of these low-lifes could be put away for these scams - it makes it tougher for the honest people to sell OR buy over the internet.

    I also sent a request to the Yahoo address to see if I would get a response - here's what they said:

    Hello,
    Sorry for delay.

    First of all thank you for your e-mail regarding my car. It's a great car. My boyfriend is devastated that we have to sell it but we have to pay too much money for register it here in Europe, so we decide to sell it. My company have relations in USA and i worked there for 2 years.
    I purchased the car from there and bring it with me when I come back.
    The car was purchased from US, so it is US standards, so stay cool it's perfect
    compatible to your standards and you will not pay more duty taxes on it.
    And this is an impediment for me to sell it here because, first, we have a different
    standards and second will be very expensive for me to register it here. I have to
    pay an very expensive duty taxes.The price for this car is $6,000.00USD .
    The car it is still register in States.
    What other info. would you like on it?
    It will be shipped from London, United Kingdom and i will pay the shipping and insurance charges.
    I will do the arrangements for shipping from here.

    The payment will be done via secure pay which means that the third party will keep the money until you will receive and inspect the car.
    I will wait for your email to let me know if you are interested in knowing more details
    about the purchase.

    Thank you

    Sure wish I could remember that reverse scam that somebody played before - it would be fun to play with them a while

    In my new detective duties, I deal with car scams almost on a daily basis.. This one is different but It's be leery of anything that says a 3rd party will "Hold" monies.. Especially a 3rd party that they are connected with. If they'd allow you to pick an escrow company, that may be different. Just shows that you should be very cautious when dealing with things online but, be particularly cautious when dealing with large amounts of money and over seas deals.
