haha 6k for an evo in that condition? sorry man, that isn't real. Even salvaged title evos go for at least 10k

 

Yeah, since i have been looking for about a week or two now, the lowest i might get for one is like $16,000 in good shape. Im still going to tell him im going to fly out there and look at the car tomorrow to see what he says.

 

Scam

 

Still waiting for the owner to pop in and say "thats my car?"

 

So this the latest message he sent me now I'm pretty sure it is fraud.

My time is limited due to my job in the army, my regiment has been deployed to another base and as much as I'd like to meet you and close the deal in person or sell it locally, this is impossible for me. That's why I have decided to sell the car over the Internet.

The sale will be managed through eBay under their Vehicle Purchase Protection program since they offer the highest rate of safety and reliability during online transactions. They act as a neutral third party. I will briefly describe the Vehicle Purchase Protection Program transaction steps so I can make things clear for both of us:

1. Buyer and seller reach an agreement (price and delivery conditions)
2. Buyer sends money to an eBay Motors Agent.
3. eBay Motors confirm to seller that the amount has been received.
4. Seller performs the required services (shipping, insurance).
5. Buyer accepts delivery and informs eBay Motors about the acceptance.
6. eBay Motors release the money to seller.

They will hold and insure your money until you will receive and test the car.

I need your full name and shipping address so I can reserve the car for you and register the transaction with eBay and they will contact you with all the instructions step by step on how to complete the transaction.

Best regards

 

Something seems odd. I would be very careful. Good luck.

 

If by "be careful" you mean, stop communication with this person right now, then yes.

 

10,000000% its a scam, i have had it happen to me BUT i got sooo pissed that i played along with the scamer until he/she stoped emailing me, and i still kept emailing him unitl i annoyed the hell out of him and he told me to leave him alone lol.

 

After this message i have decided I'm just going to mess with him lol

 

One time I was trying to sell a PSP on craigslist and I got a scammer tellin me they would send me 300 usd and asked for my name and stuff. I told them I would only accept $10000 USD and they said ok thats fine just send me your information!

 

This what i sent him, really curious what he will have to say to this.

Your opening statement makes no sense, I thought you were about to be deployed to Iraq? and i thought you were navy not army, I have friends that get offended when people say they are army when the are actually the Air force, so i imagine it is the same for Navy. From what you said in you other emails the car will be with you and I highly doubt you and the car are moving to a different location everyday. So just tell me where you are this weekend ,I am absolutely positive you know where you are going to be, I will fly there with a cashiers check, you sign over the car (of course if i still want it when i get there), I drive it home, and i will still save about 10k because any other Evo in that condition would sell for 17k or higher.

Looking forward to you next email,
Ethan
