found that on ebay. Definitely a scam. BIN for 4800! gimme a break. He doesnt even list any specs other than those required by ebay.

Also, gotta love the part where it list the number of doors: 2 doors or more. What car other than the stever erkel cas has less than 2 doors?

Seller has great feed back so I'm pretty sure this is a hacked account. I have emailed the user via ebay to try and warn them just in case. Figured it was the nice thing to do.

Scams on ebay are so easy to find...I've bought 3 cars online now and had no problems...its all about communication and research.

on a side note that Z is pretty sweet

It's sad that if he was able to hack this account, he is unable to make a credible ebay auction. If it were me, I could make it so believeable that you'd never know the difference. Eh, but I guess with so many n00b hack programs being developed out there nowadays, anyone could get into someone elses account. I feel for the general public whos computer knowledge is limited enough to fall into these traps.

You are look at a fool that will possibly be imprisoned as soon as the authorities get ahold of this. You are look at some big black mans future wife...

The trap is conducting business off-eBay. eBay warns against it, but a fool is born every minute.

Dude ebay accounts are getting hacked a lot lately. I was in the market for a Ducati Monster and i saw one in my area Buy it Now $3100, i was about to pull the trigger but emailed first asking about the condition. Turns out the guy said his account was hacked and he didn't know what i was talking about with a $3100 BIN. I was hit with a hack email recently on a listed item too. What they do is look for users who list their actual email address in their listing (IE: "For further questions e-mail me at idiot@retarded.com). I was stupid enough to list my email in an auction and i got an email that looked EXACTLY like an ebay question from a user and when i went to respond it told me to sign in. I was smart enough to check the URL up top and i noticed there were a couple extra letters in odd places and then realized the scam. I know there are a TON of people out there that do not know enough about computer stuff to fall for this, my older sister would fall for that in 2 seconds.

Wait a minute....I dont even have an ebay account! I HATE THAT STUFF Stop min my email and filling it with junk, cant we all just get along and not try to rip each other of in the world?
