EBAY scam alert

This may not be the right place for this so move as necessary but I'd like to pass this along.  As many know I just had my Coronet R/T put on Ebay and got this email from someone wanting to ask me about a trade.  He sent it to my personal address which I listed in the add with a item number to supposedly his unsold car that was on Ebay. When typed in the ebay search even if your logged into your own account, it comes up briefly a second and then redirects to a fake ebay sight wanting you to log on again to get your account.  The item number is for an expired listing.  Right after the log in page came up my Norton Antivirus blocked it with a warning of being a known fraudulent website and not to go there.  I forwarded it to the Ebay guys and asked the sender to send me his account name so I could search it that way because his item number didn't work and got no responce.  Did a little googling with the item number and it picks up a couple more regular add listing places and does the same thing.  Sooo, if you selling a car and in case you get this email, don't chance it. Not publicly saying he is a scammer or fraudulent but this is what happened to me with that item ok  :rotz: but something smells phishy.  Here's the email and DONT use the number.  Be Smart and Carefull out there ya hear  :yesnod:  
"Hi,
Is the car available for inspection?My son is in your area (within 100 miles) He is willing to travel to your area, test drive the car, review the title & pay you cash at the time of sale.
I also want to ask if you are interested in a trader..Take a minute and check our my car item# 270746853927
Let me know what you think
Thanks"

Maybe he's from Fresno and is looking to steal it.
