The old adage is still true - " If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is ".

This looks like the same garbage that's seen on Ebay all the time.  :swear: Although I think Ebay is doing a better job of shutting these scams down!!

I'm a newbee to lots of things in this age of computers but I'll bet you that is a come on to get into your computer or at least to scam you out of your email.  Find someone you know that is computer savvy and see if you need to change your email or just what they might suggest you do to protect yourself

On ebay there are lots of scams for buy it now hot mopars, you can't bid unless you email the seller first.  a perfect 71 Cuda 440 six pack for $7,500 buy it now.  Get the scam?

WOW, she sent me more pictures!!!! Didn't think she would! Car does look nice.....especially for $4800!!!!!! :dunno:

Here is the email she sent.....

In order to have many offers I posted the car in many states !
I must remind you that if we are going to have a transaction I will need your complete name and address to initiate a new transaction case at Yahoo! Finance, please provide me with your purchase & shipping details (name and address "shipping address aswell if different from your address"). After I receive your details I will initiate a new transaction case at Yahoo! Finance and they will contact you with the complete details of this transaction.
Thank you!

I seen the same thing in a ad for a '70 454 4spd. Chevelle SS a few months back. Just for the heck of it I e-mailed her for some photos. The car looked awesome,  dark green with black interior. And it was a jersey newspaper , cell phone was Texas # and she said the car was in Montana. I e-mailed and ask her if the $ was a mistake I would say it's a easy 40k plus car, she said no it's 4k. Well, you know the rest of story....................the end.....

the rest of the story, I sent her the 4k and even though its been several months she swears the shippers just got lost and the car will be here tomorrow. I cant wait. :clapping: :faint:
