Our records indicate that you recently interacted with krutic_rules through the

We would encourage you to review the eBay pages related to Fraud Protection at

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...

I am immediatley sus when he asks for my address I tell him to go get f#$4d and hang up. Next day I have an email from Ebay saying they are going to shut down my account as I will not comply with their instructions. I forward the email to Ebay's security department who send back one saying "it was a scam, ignore it". Then next day I get an email from security department again saying "no we made a mistake the call was legitamate and I must supply my details". Well I have ignored all of this so far, changed my passwords, email addresss ect. and nothing has come of it.

Point of the story is ebay is veerryy dodgy and you have to be very careful.

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

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..... :
