Would be real neat if the high bidder that made the $4000 payment in person was a FBI agent.

I would send that to the FBI...This hobby is no longer a hobby, its full of scumbags and crooks.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif

Re: Might need help checking out a car.
 

I would contact your local FBI office and tell them what you have. Depending upon the local United States Attorney's Office and thier minimum prosecutorial guidelines, it may or may not be something they would devote time to investigate. Mail fraud and wire fraud are two violations that come to mind. Internet-based fraud is a big media coverage item at the moment so they might be interested in the case.

How would I go about contacting the FBI about this douchebag? I have one email with the fake document from the seller that I could forward.
I am really starting to distrust Ebay and wonder where is the best place to find a legitimate musclecar when it comes time to buy?

Re: Might need help checking out a car.
 

here is the reply i got back via e-mail:

Hi,



The car is located in Norwood Young America MN. It has all the papers(complete) as well as the servicebook.

I want this transaction to be smooth enough as I am caught in the middle of some very important events and have very few time at my disposal. The car is in perfect condition, no scratches, no special marks, no need for additional repairs what so ever. 45352 miles onboard, a great car ready to be yours. It has no accident or any engine problem.

The price is $16,000 including shipping costs anywhere in the continental US. There are no other costs regarding this transaction. Now, in order to be able to buy it please let me know if you have any negative feedback and, if this is the case, for what reason. I apologize for asking for such information but I need to be sure.

Please also provide me with the following details necessary to take a decision:

-your full name and address for shipping

-your ph#



Regarding payment I am aware of the buyer's protection and we will use eBay Motors secure payments. I require a deposit for $ 4,000 with eBay Motors which will hold it until the buyer receives the car. Deposit is refundable if you do not accept the car. To complete payment the you must have cash available.

If I receive the requested information you will be informed by eBay during the next 12-24 hours.



Thank you.

Rita Pinto


jurys still out on this one.
