He sent me this when I replied to it

Hi there,

Sorry for the delay. I hope that you are still interested to buy my 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.

I want you to know that I live in New York, and the car is here with me... I've listed the car as been in San Fransisco because I had another customer in this area who said he will buy the car. After I made all the shipping arrangements and paid for it, he changed his mind. The shipping fees are already paid.

As you know, the price of the car is $10,700 and for payment I have 2 options:

1. I request a deposit of $4,700 to be sent via Western Union to my name and address, and as soon as I have the money I'll send you the car. ( the rest of the money after you receive the car )

2. To make the deal via www.escrow.com

The car has a clean title, never been in any accidents, no scratches, no damage, perfect condition. Is very important for you to know that I don't want a C.O.D. deal. I also don't have the time to meet with you in person... I'm sorry... and beside that the car is already crated at the shipping company. I want to sell the car fast... so I can negotiate the price a little.

If you have any more questions, feel free to reply with them.
Thanks and best regards, Scott.

I asked for more info, like parts list or mileage and this is all I got so far. Still no vin number.
Also does New York have Palm trees?

 

Smells fishy, No Vin# No mileage ehh scam.

 

I'm new here but here's a thought for you... "If you have to ask..."

Sounds like the short version of the west african scam. You send money, no car, you out ~$5K.

Looks sick as hell though.

 

Don't do it! It's a SCAM!

 

on second thought i seen the same car on evom here somewhere....cant remember where

 

If you have to ask, thats probably a good indicator. I mean come on now... other than saying in the title of the email "THIS IS A SCAM" I'm not sure what other red flags there could possibly be.

 

If it sounds too good to be true....well you know.
I would stay away man, that has scam written all over it.

 

Total scam. It's from Nigera. They're all over the internet...

anyone that tells you to front the half the money over western union is scamming you. Theres no way in hell that nice of a car would sell that low with no problems.

 

The pictures of the car are obviously from Florida, loooooong way from Russian Hill.

 

i've seen that same ad on ebay and auto trader seller name doesn't match though???

 

I put it here as a conversation starter more or less. I still have one question though, does New York have Palm Trees

Also look at this one
