Does this sound TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE...?

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.

Hmmm! Didn't he say before that he was in New York? Now hes in London...must be a jetsetter!

So they'll ship it here (about 1k) and if you don't like it, they'll ship it back (1k) and you don't have to pay a cent! lol

sounds like the same person who was scamming with a vx from england a year ago.
I offered to meet him with the car in dover across the channel and of course haven't heard from him since!
What a pathetic guy!

I'm in the UK and e mailed this guy about looking at the car, but just get the seme reply as the start of this post. I have to say this stinks of a scam, A) it is easy ro re-register in the UK, I have done it, B) if it is in London it is easy to visit, but this does not seem to be possible!! STAY WELL CLEAR.

Yes ,Guys this is got scam all over it...i wrote "her" to see if i could actually push her in to a different deal, Told her i would pay 100% cash $6000.00, no need for the deposit. I told her as well i did not even need to see the car cuz i knew it was a good deal even it it was in half the shape it looked. All she had to do was give me her phone # or call me and we could settle the deal..."her reply. here it is "Dear sir,

For the moment my phone line is down, but we can talk via e-mail. Is the same thing.

The transaction will be made only through SquareTrade. They will keep the money untill you receive and inspect the car.

If you are still interested, please send me your full name and shipping address in order for me to start this deal with SquareTrade. They will contact you with all the information you need for starting this deal.
