Re: [AMC-list] scam **AMC AMX 390 4-SPEED 1968 ** - $4500 ebay reply

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since the scammer mentioned 'the transaction had to be done thru ebay' figured ebay might 
want to know, not that it matters, I knew would get the canned reply from autobot anyhows! 
Most of this is common sense stuff, however two stick out like sore thumb below! "- Never 
use a link in an email to log into your eBay account." Well duh! And: "- Be careful about 
buying high-priced items, especially if the price
seems too good to be true. " Brings this fellow to mind!

Hello,

Thanks for telling us about the suspicious message you received.

That message is not a genuine Second Chance Offer, Best Offer, Want It
Now, or Buy It Now message. It's a fraudulent email from someone who's
trying to sell you an item outside of eBay.

You can always tell by checking the My Messages section in My eBay. If
an offer is legitimate, you'll find a copy of it there. Also, genuine
offers never tell you to email the seller at a different email address.

Tips for Staying Safe Online

- Make sure your user ID is completely different from your email
address. Often, the way crooks obtain a member's email address is by
guessing that it's similar to the member's user ID.

- Be suspicious of emails with the subject line "Message from eBay
Member." We don't use that subject line.

- Never use a link in an email to log into your eBay account.

- Don't respond to any email that asks you to complete a purchase
outside of eBay. Off-eBay transactions pose a serious risk of fraud, and
they're not eligible for eBay services such as Feedback, requests for
contact information, or PayPal Buyer Protection. For more information,
go to:

http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/rfe-spam-non-ebay-sale.html

- Be careful about buying high-priced items, especially if the price
seems too good to be true.

- Don't pay for items with cash or cash wire transfers, such as Western
Union or MoneyGram. If something goes wrong, it's hard to get your money
back. For more information on paying confidently, go to:

http://pages.ebay.com/help/pay/methods.html

Thanks again for reporting this email and helping us keep eBay and
PayPal safe.
Sincerely,
eBay Trust & Safety Team

The car is already at the shipping company in Alsip, IL  ready for shipping.
I have a contract with eBay so this deal must go through eBay Vehicle
Protection Program.
I'm very busy with my job and I'm out of town(i`m doctor in US
Army,curently in
Afghanistan) so I can't meet in person ,
with you so this is the reason why I chose to sell my car over the
Internet. According
with  the 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.
Here is how it will work:
1.First of all I will need  the following details from you:
- Full Name
- Full Shipping Address
2. After I will receive the details from you, I will forward them to
eBay.
3. After they will process your info, they will send us both invoices.
The invoice will
send you the details on how to make a refundable payment.
4. eBay will contact me and I will ship the car to you. After you
receive the car you will
have 5 days to test, verify and do whatever you need to the car. If you
will buy, then I
will receive the payment details from eBay so that I can pick up the
money.
5. If you will decide that you will not buy the car,  eBay will refund
the money and I
will have the shipping company come pick up my car. If you wish to make
the transaction,
please send me the necessary info so that we can proceed. I look forward
to hear from you.

Thank you
CarrieAKidd@xxxxxxx
