[BaadAssGremlins] bidding war continued

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since I whizzed away several hours yesterday toying with ebay's "live chat" 
which is worthless, figured some of you might like to see how these scams 
are popping up really quickly. I mentioned this earlier but it is worth 
mentioning again. Someone has figured out how to write script into their 
auctions. That is, you click on something you see you might be interested 
in, then a real looking ebay screen pops up asking for your user ID and 
password. you figure hey, I'm on ebay so put it in. Guess what? you just 
gave away your information to scammers, who then quickly turn around and 
start these auctions!

I have bid over $100 million in the last several days on some fine iron 
including a Pierce Arrow, Javelin and well a BBG AMX today for $9 mil. But 
it was the Mopar that intrigued me. So I used Paige's email account. you 
will note that all these scammers want you to email them first before 
bidding. That is to capture your email address, as once ebay shuts them 
down, you will get something like I did on this 69 hemi Charger.

Note I DID "follow the scammers instructions" and email them directly off 
ebay so "I could be pre approved" to bid! This is what I got back.....AFTER 
Ebay shut down the auction:

Hello and sorry for the delay,

  The 69' Charger is in perfect working condition. My experienced Dodge tech 
has fully checked out this car and gives it a special high rating has a 
CLEAR and CLEAN TITLE a great history and mechanically without any problems 
ever safety check and pre-delivery inspection along with a fresh servicing 
before I ship or deliver the vehicle. The problem is that in the meanwhile I 
had to move with my family in Croatia where I got a new job as a 
construction engineer. I brought the car here with me with the intention of 
driving it but when I found out about the very high import duties and all 
the restrictions regarding registration and emissions tests here I have made 
up my mind and decided to sell the vehicle.

The amount you will have to pay for this vehicle is $6,000.I can deliver the 
car but that you will cost you a little bit more depending on your location!
  Let me know if you are still interested.

Regards,
 Sean
=================================
Looks innocent enough, however a $80,000 car for $6000. I may not be the 
smartest stck of hammers at Home Depot but something fishy. So I decicded to 
email them back again off Paige's email acting interested. I'll let ya'll 
know how it comes out.

In the meantime, I think I will go bid on this Balwin Motion Camaro, aw 
heck, he only wants $6800 for it anyhows:
