This is long, but I was checking this 65 GTO out for my Dad on ebay. I emailed the guy and this is what I got. Its that scam I read about on one fo the threads here. Its long, but check it out. Im gonna string him along for a while, and then tell him what a dirt bag he is. Does anyone know how to get this guy in real trouble??

Hello and thank you for contacting me
I will tell you a few words about the car..
First of all the car is fully restored and looks just like in the
pictures.It is in imaculate condition and has no schrach on and hasn't
been involved in any accident.
The motor runs very well. This is a clasic car that has a lot of the
original parts and thr tires are almost new.
The title is clear ,it is not a salvage one.
The car belongs to my brother. He died two weeks ago in a bike
accident.
The car is now in Portugal as my brother lived there.I am now here as i
took care of the funerals.
Because i can't carry all his things back home i am selling them.
I am willing to sell it and shipp it to any of the UE countries or to
US.I will not ship to any African,Asian or Eastern European countries.
I know that the price is low but i have no use for the car and I want
to get back home as soon as i sell it.
I want to sell the car asap so I am willing to pay the shipping
fees nomatter of the location.
I require a deposit of 3000USD, with the balance when the car arrive at your shipping door.
The total price i hope to sell this car is 7,300 USD
I will shipp using KLM 3-5 days, by plane to the nearest airport. From there a truck will bring the car at your door.
The money is a reservation for the car.
First one who makes the deposit will be the buyer.I need the deposit to be
sure that you want the car and in order to proceed with shipping and all
the aditional export taxes.
I wait your further questions and i will provide any infos you need.
Thank you
Regards
James

This sounds very interesting to me. Thats a great price. Can you send me more pics of the car? Of course we would have to use the ebay escrow service, so you would receive your money when the car has arrived. Let me know what the next steps are and we can do this deal.
Thanks,
Sean

Hello again,
thank you emailed me and for your wilignes to continue our deall for the price 7,300 USD.
I have researched and tested different payment methods and the
cheapest ones are the
slowest. I have found one that it is the fastest,to make the
deposit.
Their fees are high, but since
I want to make this deal as soon as possible and I believe you are
too, I will beprepared to cover 50% of the Western Union wire transfer fee.
I will choose to use this service as I will have access to the funds
very fast and I will ship you the car with the delivery career
in max 12-14 hours after I receive the deposit payment confirmation from you.
As mentioned in my previous emails, I prefer to use KLM 5-7 days air
insured for shipping and I will cover shipping and insurance charges.
I have told you from the beginning that you will cover 50% of the
Western Union wire transfer fee so, please do not consider it a "hidden
charge".
In total, you will need to pay the buy now the deposit price which is 3,000 USD plus the
Western Union fee (about 150 USD). Once the car arrive you will have to pay the balance.
For the Western Union wire transfer, you will need my name and
address:
James Wood
Rua Del Flores 12
Lisabo 21541
Portugal
Please email me your full name and shipping address before complete the payment.
If you can arrange the payment with Western Union wire transfer in a few hrs,
I will ship you he car with KLM 5-7 days air insured in max 10-12 hrs.
They will shipp to the nearest airport and from there a person will bring the car at your
door.
Thank you and I will wait your email.
James,
I really like the sound of the 50/50 deal. I have a problem though. If I wire you 3000 dollars, I have no way of knowing that I will ever get the GTO. I am not saying youre a thief, but you gotta see it from my view. You could be a low life coward that preys on other less unfortunate, less intelligent people, trying to scam them for a few bucks. There are actually people out there that would do this! They should be shot for it, but thats another story. I may never actually see the car, and for all I know, you dont even have a 65 GTO. Anyways, thats the beauty of the escrow service! I pay the WHOLE amount to ebay and then they send you the money when I have satisfactorily taken delivery of the car. Its a great system!
Well, I am real excited about this car and I hope youre ready to seal the deal. Let me know ASAP!
-Sean
Thats al I got so far. Who can I turn this guy in to??
