Dodgy Bastards on Ebay - check this out..
Saw this VY SS on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....076015635&rd=1
no VIN or anything like that... so was a bit suss and for $11,500 even more suss.
Msged the guy and this is the reply i got.. see if it makes sense to you..lol
"Hello,
Thank you for your interest in my car.The car is a Australian model ( still registered in
Australia) in a great history and mechanically without any problems ever safety check and
pre-delivery inspection along with a fresh servicing before I ship or deliver the vehicle.
Price is $ 11,500 AUD if you buy now.
The problem is that in the meanwhile I had to move with my family in Amsterdam,
Netherlands where I got a new job as a construction engineer. I brought the car here with
me with the intention of driving it but when I found out about the very high import duties
and all the restrictions regarding registration and emissions tests here I have made up my
mind and decided to sell the vehicle.
I will take care of all transport arrangements. Usually shipment takes maximum 12 to 15
days depending on your location and will be fully insured against damages,shipped in a
crated container.....on my cost!!
Here's what I suggest: you make a $ 7,000 AUD deposit in an ebay managed trust fund
( they hold the money until you receive the car ), I ship the car over, you can inspect it,
take it to a mechanic to check it out, drive it and then pay the remaining ballance.
Terms: The transaction will be closed only through eBay, so both you (as a buyer) and I (as
a seller) be protected.
If you agree with my above terms, I'm sure that we can close the deal as soon as
possible.
I have reserved the car for you until I will have your final answer.
Regards,"
tsk tsk....

That is suspiciously cheap. Stolen or has a major problem maybe?

There was a car advertised on ebay a while ago that was an insurance buy back or something. The car was a recovered stolen vehicle but had no id plates or rego although it had a plate on it. I reckon someone has taken photos of a car, listed it hoping someone pays the deposit then hacks your ID as well to confirm the transaction. Easiest 7k he'll ever make.

I have had someone offer me a second chance on a set of wheels that I was outbid on on ebay.....sussed him out and he was very dodgy and mentioned that the money would be in some sort of ebay fund that would be released on my sayso if I was happy with them.
Too dodgy so I left it alone ....the prick ended up being from overseas and it was obviously a scam

ABSOLUTE SCAM!!! Two months ago I came across a '66 Mustang. Green, in total mint condition and RHD conversion done all for $6000 on carsales. Out of curiosity I emailed the seller and the reply was that the guy moved to England and took the car with him but couldn't register it due to registration and emission hassles so he offered to ship it back to Australia at his cost and the money would be held by Carsales until the buyer agreed to keep the car and release the money to the seller. The car was gone in less than 24 hours. I hope someone didn't buy it. This scam seems to become more and more frequent.
