You may have been the last bidder, cause it's gone now. I punched the <u>report this</u> button, so they must have agreed it was a scam.

I also reported the scam to OLX and they removed the ad and "black listed" the user...I can think of a few better punishments

from ebay to me;

We're writing to let you know that the listing for the following item you bid on has been removed:

140290225915 - Chevrolet : Nova

We removed the listing and canceled your bid because it appears that the seller's account was used by someone without the seller's permission. The seller's trading privileges might be temporarily suspended while we investigate. Because of privacy concerns, we can't share more details.

What is it, submarine?


from [email protected]

As I told you I will pay for shipping and all the taxes afferent to shipping. As soon as the eBay gives me the OK, I will send you the car. The car will arrive by water in 5 maximum 7 days. As soon as I send it, I will send you a copy from the receipt and all the details of the shipping so you can track the car along the way and know exactly when to expect it. The shipping company will call you with one day before arriving to the nearest office from your location. You will have to go there and pick it up. The car will be at your disposal for 10 days to inspect it. If you decide to buy the car after you have inspected it, only then you will notify eBay that they can release the payment to me. If you do not want to buy it you will ask the agent for full reimbursement after you will return the vehicle to the shipping company. You will not be charged if you will return the vehicle. I will put along with the car: keys, title, all the receipts that I have from it, owner's manual, service manual, and also a sale receipt signed at a legal attorney stating that I'm selling you this car. When it arrives you will have to go there with your id (preferably 2 forms of identification) and sign for pickup. You don't have to pay any taxes duties or so. If you are interested in buying it, please send me your full name and shipping address so I can prepare the car, and also for me to forward them at eBay's so they can open an a case for our transaction.
Regards.

I'm going to cook a reply over dinner, stay tuned...

OK, so after very little thought I replied with a name and street address (of a local agency) to see if this bum could actually be reeled in or traced. I asked him how close he could ship the car to my location also.

Here is his reply this morning;

I am glad that we can move on and I have already forwarded your private info to eBay's buyer and seller protection program and they will contact you in the shortest time with all the details of the payment and shipping. I am hoping that after receiving their notification we'll go to the next step a.s.a.p. Please after receiving their invoice just mail me back and confirm if we have a deal so that I can start the arrangements for the shipping procedure.The car can be delivered directly at your door, but if you will go to pick it up, they will perform a full inspection of the vehicle before you will have to sign the papers. At your door this will not happen. Pleas let me know what is the best option for you. I will have to ask the guys form the shipping what is their nearest office from your location. Regards,Dave.




How many of these is he doing at once? Can I ask him if he could have the car painted red for Christmas? Did he forget I was also moving to Bulgaria?

The same thing is going on at the Corvette Forum for a Convertible BB Vette. The response sounds almost identical to the one for the Nova.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c3s-...vert-ebay.html

"Hello,

Thank you for your email, and sorry for my late reply. First of all the car belonged to my father, he was the first and only owner, and after he passed away 7 moths ago, he left the car to me. I do not now much about this car. I can let you know that it has a clean US title, it has no scratches or dents, it has 33000 miles and it runs perfectly, I've took it for a drive before I left US, and I didn't drove it since then. Anyway I have all the receipts and for all the work that has been made on it. The car is now in Sofia, Bulgaria with me, and it is crated as I received it, when I've moved here 1 moth ago, because I found a better job. I've tried to register it here but the odometer is in miles, and to make it street legal, I'll have to pay around $4000 US money that I cannot afford because I want to buy a house, so I've decided to sell it. The total price that you'll have to pay for this car is $12000 US, price that includes shipping taxes and insurance. All of my transactions until now were made under eBay's protection, and for that I wish that we make this deal also with eBay's protection. If you agree with moving forward with the deal through eBay please email me your full name and shipping address. As soon as I receive these information from you I will forward them to eBay along with the rest of the details in order for them to open a case regarding our deal. I am waiting for your email as soon as possible.

Regards
Cara Hoover"
