Hi Eddie,

Here's a new twist to the e-bay scam that I nearly fell for.  The seller has a friend bid up the car, then he offers you what looks like a legitimate second chance offer, but on your private e-mail account, not as an e-bay message.  The e-mail looks identical to an e-mail message, down to an e-bay address.  Fortunately, I told him that I would only pay cash for the car in person.  He then told me that he moved to a different state, but promised to ship the car as soon as I Western Union him the money.  He assured me that since this was an official second chance offer that e-bay offered me insurance on the transaction that he had already paid for.  I had a brief moment of sobriety and smelled a rat so I walked away.  The he had the balls to send me an e-mail, threatening me if I didn't complete the deal.  I sent the whole thing to e-bay fraud and they closed him down, but who knows how many suckers he swindled?  The good news?  Weeks later I bought a sun-baked, barely running!
  1972 AMX for $3,000.  It's a big project, but I'm already making good progress.  Thanks for providing the service that you do.  

Thanks again,

Dave
