| So I thought it was just me. And decided to go look 
at some other auctions, guess, maybe Dodge. Wow! Here is a beautiful hemi 69 
Charger with a buy it now price of $6700. So I rush out to my 72 Ambassador SST 
station wagon to see how much toll booth change I have dropped on the floor. 
Hell I pissed away $9 million on a Big Bad Green AMX earlier, but was outbid by 
Jim Webb's son. Business must be good! So decided to see if more scams, and boy, 
it is out of control, check out this scammers set of auctions before they are 
quickly shut down: I have always wanted a Shelby fastback for $100. 
Let's see I am up to $3.89 cents fromt he floor of the Ambassador.....I am 
getting there......

  Thanks for the tips Eddie. I to have been "subject" to evilbays (thanks 
  Bart) ways. I have purchased "shit" from others there and gotten just that 
  "shit". SO, I send it back and now I cant seem to get all of my money back. I 
  even paid the shipping back to them A-HOLES!  They want a "comprimise" 
  and give me a ten dollars back on twenty?? B.S. I WANT ALL MY MONEY BACK 
  BASTARDS!! SCREW YOUR CHARGES! TAKE IT FROM THE MORON WHO SENT ME SHIT! BLAH! 
  BLAH! BLAH! I am kind of upset over it so I am very carefull at what I 
  purchase and I hide my email from whoever I ask a question to. If I feel that 
  they are "ligit" and are straight forward, after I recieve my "item". Thats 
  when I will leave feed back, and I will do straight buisness with 
  them. BUT NOT UNTILL I GET WHAT THEY SAID THE ITEM IS SAPPOSED TO DO. 
  WHAT IT WAS INTENDED TO DO. AND WHAT THE ITEM IS SAID THEY SAID IT WAS. I also 
  ask them to email me when the said item has been shipped. That way there is 
  some proof that it has been mailed. That just makes me feel better that it is 
  on its way. And some of the shipping charges are REDICULOUS!! That is another 
  way that I make my purchases off of EVILBAY! If they want 20 bucks to send a 
  10 buck item??!! NOT!! Just another few tips to the ones who dont 
  know. Learned from experience!! LOL!! But, I would like to bid a 
  trillion bucks for a car, just to f*ck with them A-HOLES!! Thanks again Eddie.

 Todd asked how I know these are scam auctions. One is 
    that people are
 calling and emailing me when they see something too good 
    to be true. That
 black AMX was sold a few months ago on ebay. The blue 
    AMX earlier tonight
 was sold only three days ago and jixxa-mixer was the 
    high bidder and won the
 car at $13K. The dumbass scammers I guess 
    figured no one, much less AMCers
 would notice.
 
 Ironically those 
    scam auctions were all shut down earlier tonight....and as
 the scammer 
    used someone else's ID, hijacked it (more on this later) and
 quickly 
    shoved those samed damned auctions back up. So since I asked, and
 got, a 
    increase in my bidding limit from ebay :~P I decided to smack these
 auctions also, but not for $99 million, but under a million each. Only 
    in
 strip clubs do I normally throw that type of money around you 
    know.
 
 Here is the black AMX I earlier paid $99 million for, this time 
    was bargain.

 Always 
    have had a real soft spot for these old 1930s Cords, never thought I
 would actually own one either. I might have paid too 
    much.

 Always 
    have liked these too, and used to hang with a fellow in Corpus
 Christi 
    who had one and it was painted Red. Only one I have ever seen
 painted, 
    not sure how they got the paint to stick, but sure could get the
 girls 
    with this baby. And those girls had all their teeth.
 
 Back to how you 
    can spot these. Usually they have a ridiculous 'buy it now'
 price, but 
    usually not in the auction, but in description. Look at the Cord,
 $9000 
    BIN price. give me a break, $9000 is in the paint alone that is
 probably 
    a $100K car. Check out the AMX since ya'll are AMCers. (providing
 these 
    auctions have not been shut down yet) but that AMX has quite a mill,
 but 
    a BIN price of $5400 which would cover the paint job, or a good engine
 build and if you look at that engine the 'real' sellers had some bucks 
    in
 it.
 
 The big kicker is the sellers wanting potential bidders to 
    email them first.
 Once you email them they have your email address and 
    drop the bomb like "ok,
 I'll take your high offer on it, you can paypal 
    me (or VISA, Amex, Discover,
 MC ect) the funds, I will hold the car but 
    send title" or other line of
 crap. You also see this in rare parts 
    auctions.
 
 And it is not anything new, I can recall a Hemmings Motor 
    News warning about
 a seller in their pages who was contacting people 
    looking for rare Mopar
 parts in the 1990s. Very knowledgeable, knew 
    descriptions, part numbers.
 They also ripped people off for over $100K 
    out of Reno, NV. And I don't
 think they were ever caught 
    either.
 
 No, I ain't ebay police! Yes, I enjoy running up scammers 
    auctions in
 between changing daipers, cooking and watching those fools 
    on Celebrity
 Dancing or whatever Paige was watching in there.
 
 So 
    since I started this email, this is one of six TKO's that just came 
    in:
 The following is a notice from eBay Trust & Safety 
    regarding:
 
 Item Number - 4617392712
 
 Item Title - 
    DeLorean
 
 Our records show that you placed a bid on this item. We 
    removed this item
 from the Site and cancelled your bid because it 
    appears that the seller's
 account has been compromised and used by an 
    unauthorized third party. The
 seller's privileges to trade on eBay may 
    be temporarily suspended while we
 investigate this matter further. Due 
    to privacy concerns we will not be able
 to share further details related 
    to this seller.
 
 If the seller asks you to complete this transaction 
    outside of eBay, we
 strongly recommend that you do not proceed with the 
    transaction and do not
 respond to the seller. Transactions for items 
    listed on eBay but then
 completed off of the eBay platform are not 
    covered by buyer protection
 programs offered by eBay and can be highly 
    indicative of fraud. For more
 information on Offers to Buy or Sell 
    Outside of eBay, copy and past the

 If 
    you have already paid for this item but have not received it, you should
 take all possible steps to receive reimbursement.
 
 1. Stop payment 
    with your bank if you paid by check.
 2. Contact the Security Department 
    of your credit card company to file a
 chargeback if you paid via credit 
    card.
 3. If you paid via Western Union or MoneyGram, contact the company

 Our goal is to ensure that your eBay experience is 
    safe so that you can buy
 confidently. It is rare that something goes 
    wrong with a transaction on
 eBay.  However, in the event it does, 
    we would like to provide as much
 assistance as possible to help resolve 
    the issue.
 
 Regardless, it don't matter. On the six auctions the 
    scammer listed, there
 was 41 'bidders' and chances are all of them, 
    except me, got a 'direct
 email' from the scammers seeing if they would 
    send them the money for the
 ficticious vehicle in the auction. Remember, 
    all it takes is ONE person to
 send the money not knowing and they lose 
    their asses for thousands of
 dollars.
