Scam? JH4NA1151NT000869

I'm sure there's a Prime member in New York who would check it out for you, if you got so far as to consider buying it after talking with the seller.. just a thought.
 
One of the pictures showes King Acura plate on the front, King is in Alabama. Found the Ebay listing were the pictures were lifted from:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=5337&item=2478354745&rd=1
Just sold for $24,000.


Oh also did a search on the phone # in the autotrader ad and this is what I got.

I emailed the guy through Autotrader and here is the response. Big Time Scam!!!!

Hello,
the car is in perfect condition,it has been recently inspected and it
is allright, no damages,the engine runs great.
First of all I must inform you that I'm in SWITZERLAND and i have to
let you know that I am the first owner of the car; I bought it directly
from an authorized HONDA dealer. To eliminate any concerns you will send
me the payment after you have recived and inspected the car, the car it
has a clear title wich you will receive it with the car.It can be
registerd into your name,so stay cool about this.
I have to tell you that I have other serious offers that I have to
consider and I will make a decision regarding this sale function of time of
payment and price.
The price 10500 USD,includes the shipping and insurance and if you
agree with this price we can start to complete the transaction.
I need a deposit,because i have to pay shipping fees and insurrance.
You will arrange payment through bank wire transfer, a legitimate
transfer. Or you can choose to pay through paypal or cashier's check.
The inspection period for it is 30 days.
As soon as the payment will be confirmed and the money properly sent, i
will IMMEDIATELY proceed with shipping ,i need your shipping info ,
full name and address to whom you want the car to be delivered, I will
ship the car via Lufthansa Cargo Freight insurred and It will take 72
hours until you will have it at the door.
The shipping is free.
The payment is fully refundable if for any reason you do not accept the
car or if the car has scratches, hidden defects, or it is not as
advertised. I will even pay for the shipping back to my location if you
reject the car but since it is a state of the HONDA and works and looks
perfectly I think it would not get to this.
If you agree with these terms,let me know and i will be more than glad
to start to complete the transaction with you.
Thank you and I hope that you will have the pleasure to drive this car
as i did.

Watch out for the Deposit :p
 
Yeah he wants the deposit to pay for shipping


man i wish we can catch these guys while they are doing this i want to see the look of there faces when the cops grab them.
 
it's weird, he says shipping is free, but yet you are putting a deposit to ship the car.

I'm sorry but 10K for this car is WAY too low. I mean if you ARE going to scam someone, make it believable. Superus...you know the saying bud...if it seems too good to be true, you know the rest. we are always out to look for a killer deal...but this one is just too killer, and should make you move on to the next car. plain and simple. Would you buy a house that should sell for say...100K, but is listed at 30K? Either there is something seriously wrong about the house and the seller is not saying anything, or...it doesn't exist. Why is he in switz. and the car is listed as xxx miles from your zip? that doesn't add up either.
