Scam???

[1BAD68]

Yesterday I saw an ad on craigslist for a 69 camaro SS for 6 grand, I emailed the guy for a phone number being that supposedly its a local car.
This morning I checked my email and got a response...
"Hi,
    The car is still for sale.It is in perfect shape.It has no scratches,dents and it was never involved in an accident or something like that.The VIN is 124379L513697.It has 62000 miles. The title is clear and on my name.I am forced by a bank loan to sell it so I need the money and I must do that.Dont worry,the loan does not involve the car.
    My final price is 6000.I already have tons of emails so I hope you understand that I need to sort them out.I will take in consideration only those buyers who are really interested in buying the car, to be sure that I don't waste my time with endless discussions. This way, I shall be assured of the serious intentions.

Thank you.
P.S.If you are decided to buy it,i will make a private auction just for you on eBay so you can purchase it there.That way you will receive assistance for the purchase,paperwork,title transfer and an extended warranty.They also are guaranteeing purchases up to 50.000 so we will both be protected."
He still doesn't give a contact number. I'm thinking that now he has my email, so when he does the "private Ebay auction" he will then have my Ebay username and maybe somehow hack my ebay account. What do you think?

Sounds like you nailed it with the scam. Tell him you must have a phone number and ask him for an address where you can see the car before you commit to a private auction.

I doubt you'll hear from him again.

I told him "just give me a phone number and I'll stop by with cash today"

here's what the nigerian had to say...

Hi,
The car is already at a shipping company in Mitchell-SD. I took the car to them to be able to ship it to a potential buyer whilst I'm out of town.My brother in law works there,and he promised me that it will cost me nothing to ship it in the Continental US. I also have the car listed on eBay and that lets me use their secured system. I'm very busy with my job and I'm sorry I can't meet you in person. According to eBay you have 5 days from the time you receive the car to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not.
So please let me know if you are interested so i can give you the directions to the ebay site so you can check the auction.
Thank you

Sincerely

Purporting that a Chebbie driver has the word "whilst" in his vocabulary is proof enough of a scam for me.

Besides, how many Nigerians have you ever seen driving a '69 Camaro SS? Or any car half as nice, for that matter?

A goat, maybe, and I don't mean GTO; I mean a goat.

Take Ponch's acvice and fook with him.
