It's a scam, That exact TA is for sale in my craigslist. There is a lot of people doing it, you can tell its a scam if you ask to meet up and look at it, and they will never write you back. so next time you see one, report it to craigslist

If someone (maybe the OP) has time, please go to http://www.ic3.gov to inform the FBI and Federal Government of the scam. Hopefully then they can shut it down and perhaps catch that piece of $hit scammer.

I'm wondering about the whole Ebay affiliation thing, Whats up with that? Wouldn't you be able to pursue them legally then?

Its also advertised as a WS6 but has the non-WS6 airbox, as well as no decal on the bumper that I can see. Def a scam.

I clicked on the link and it said flagged for removal, so apparently somebody has already reported it. At least nobody will get caught into that trick, hate those scammers. Go get an f-n real job instead of trying to trick people out of their hard earned money.

Defiantly a scam, and the same thing happened to my friend about a year ago. he bought a 300zx from ebay, he paid about $ 4000 and never got the car. And the car was never even real. And he lost his 4000 dollars.

You mean this email

Hello,
First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my Trans Am. I sell at this price ($2,900) because I just finished the divorce with my husband. When the divorce was finished I became the owner of this car. Now as a women I don't need it. This car is in excellent working conditions, no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage, slightly used in 100% working and looking conditions and comes with a clear title, 3 months transferable warranty.
From the begining you have to know that for the payment I request only secure pay, I prefer the payment to be done using eBay's services.
We will use a safe payment method because I am affiliated at eBay and I have a purchase protection account of $20.000. The final price that I want for this car is $2,900 including shipping and handling.
I will wait your answer (if you are interested to buy) very soon!
Thank you,
Johanna


Side note, long before I saw this thread. Who wouldnt jump on a 10k car for 3k?

Hey I was just looking through this thread and I have a 98 car and my leather seats do have the cargo nets on both driver and pass sides. I have a 98 ws6 so unless the seats were swapped I know mine for sure have the cargo nets
