Comedy eBay scammers

[2alexcoo]

Just sent an email to the 'vendor' of this 'car' expressing interest. Should be fun to string him along for a while!

Here's a link in case anyone else fancies a bit of fun 'feeding the troll'

eBay Item #4500217628

Wire transfer.
Non-refundable deposit.
Very "pro-forma" feel to the text.
Reference to "out-of-state" buyers.
Photos don't look like Goole (more like Florida).
"All our auctions" from zero-feedback seller.
etc. etc.

In my email I asked for a phone number, to discuss a 'deal'.

His reply was:

"Please email me from in ebay. I'll send to you full my phone number. When you call me about it?"

Hmm, English not a strong point then. Didn't have the heart to ask why he'd put a one year old car through an MOT...
