this is classic...
got this email from John Miller <miller_j567@msn.com> Hello there and thanks for your interest. I'm very glad that you like my car and I can only say that you have good taste about cars! I want you to know that I closed my auction earlier because someone has offered me the buy it now price, but didn't have all the money available and I cannot accept financing because time is a real issue for me. The price that I want to obtain is $9,000 (this price includes shippment and insurance charges). The car is like new, completely working, low miles, 2004 Falcon GT FPV model. It has always been garage kept. It is an australian model with australian specs on it, clear title still registered in AU and you will have no problem registering there. The car will be shipped via air freigth with TNT-Carrier Air Cargo from Dublin, Ireland and it will take no more then 5 days for the car to arrive at the delivery location. Unfortunately I wasn't able to register the car here because the car has australian specs on it (right hand drive) so I decided to sell it to someone back in AU. This is a overseas purchase and I would like to use a third party for this transaction as I want a smooth and safe transaction. We will use eBay Square Trade, I have completed a lot of successful deals using them. I have a Purchase Protection Account for US $10,000 and I assume you know what this means. If you agree with these terms, please reply with your full name and address so I can register the transaction with eBay Square Trade asap. Regards, classic indeed. what a dick...

This listing (#4605407169) has been removed or is no longer available. Please make sure you entered the right item number.
If the listing was removed by eBay, consider it cancelled. Note: Listings that have ended more than 90 days ago will no longer appear on eBay. Try searching for another item now. Well its gone now. 9k is a scam |

hehe.. . tis good..
After asking if he will settle outside of ebay, i got " Hello, No, I will not deal outside of eBay, but that will not be a problem because you don't have to pay anything, just the price of the car and the money transfer fees to my location and the shipping and insurance fees will be at my expense. So, if this is OK with you then I please let me know your full name and address and we can start. Regards, Miller " So fake name and address anyone lol

Hello,
I bought this car from AU and it was ridded only within AU. It is registered in AU and I had all the services done there. The car was never crushed, drooped or raced. I took care of it like it was my own baby and now is in the same condition as it was when I bought it -- even better! The thing is that almost 5 months ago, I made that step - I got married !!! My wife is from Dublin, Ireland and we decided to move there. My kid was born a week ago here in Dublin and, as a fresh daddy I can't find the time to ride the car anymore. Yes, I took the car here in Ireland. I wanted to register the car here, but when I found out how much paper work I must do to register it here, only to ridded once a month or less ... simply I gave up and decided to sell it and buy a car here (a family wagon is a must now). I even decided to support all the shipping charges in order to make a smooth deal for this car. I will use TNT air cargo for shipping, so you will be able to receive it in 4 working days. The car is already crated with all the papers inside signed by me and ready to go at the shipping company. I want you to know that eBay Square Trade verified all the transaction details and approve me to crate the car. The car will have an insurance and will be delivered at your door without you being charged one penny more. Along with the car, I will send you all the documents that I have for the car. Due the fact that the car's title was issued in AU you will have no problem in registering the car and you won't have to pay any custom fees. So, the car are still available for sale and if you are really interested to buying this baby please let me know if you can offer AU $9000 I will be very honored to make the deal with you. The total price for the car will be AU $9000 and if you will pay for the money transfer fees to my location approx. AU $400 i will pay for the shipping taxes to your door. So, I have a contract with eBay Square Trade and if you are really interested on buying the car please REPLY WITH YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS so i can initiate the transaction at eBay Square Trade and they will manage all the finacial and shipping details. Regards, John Miller I am just thinking on what address I should give, maybe one in St Kilda Road, the the fraudies..... :
