Default So How Does This Scam Work????

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Z28-O...QQcmdZViewItem

They have plenty of good feedback. But I've noticed all these scams ask that you email their "personal email" and not use the "ask seller a question" link.

Is this guy just going to take someone's money and take the bad feedback?

Looking to buy a car. There just aren't any around here locally. Scared to death to buy off eBay though.

It was a 69 Z28, super clean, lots of nice pics. "Buy it Now" was $5,900 if I remember correctly.

Hijacked account? Wow...lots of scumbags out there these days.

Hijacked account..

They sucker someone into telling them thier name and password. Often through the use of a "spoofed" fake ebay site.

Very common..

Hey Steve,

Sent you an email yesterday from work. I suspect the filters here caught it. Did you get it?

Thanks,
Dave

Right!!! I'll probably re-send this weekend anyway. Those IT guys are snagging all my personal emails before they go out. They expect me to work around here--ridiculous!
