I reported that one earlier and it's been canned. I finally realized why there were so many 1st gen Firebird scams and the reason is a little embarassing. Nobody was reporting them! Now I report them and the are gone in an hour. I've got a quick method of reporting that is effective and only takes me a few seconds. If anyone wants to help, all you do is click on the 'report item' at the bottom of the auction page. Then pick 'eBay Motors item'. Then pick 'multiple listing of same vehical' Then email it and you are done. It must be enough to get their attention because it works. It's like a community watch.
Jim , just got an answer from "unsuspecting" scammer...here: ________________________________________ From: fred s [mailto:fredds343@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, November 13, 2006 6:49 PM To: Bjorn Sefeldt Subject: Re: FBird
Hello, I'm glad that you're interested in my Supra. The car is street legal and accurate. It comes with all the documents needed for registration, it has a clear title and it can be registred into your name at any time. I am willing to sell it for $2900 This buy now price does include the shipping and insurance fees. I'm located in Baytown TX and the car is here as well and so this is where the car will be shipped from. I've done some research and the best and fastest way I can ship it is using Hemisphere cargo Shipping Ltd which takes between 4 to 6 days to arrive at your door (door to door handling and shipping insurance fee included). I am affiliated with Yahoo! Finance where I have a purchase protection account for $ 10,000.00. This service allows us to complete this transaction in a manner that is quick and safe for both of us. It acts as a third party between seller and buyer to insure that both parties comply to transaction requirements and provides dispute resolution and mediation between parties. Yahoo! Finance is responsible to insure that both parties comply to transaction requirements. If this is ok with you please reply with your complete name, address and shipping address in your next email and let me know if you are interested in knowing more details about this purchase so that I can open a transaction case at Yahoo! Finance and move forward with this deal. Thank you, Mary Pearce
+++++++++ Interesting is Baytown is 25 minutes away...LOL I`m going to see if this "Supra" (was advertised as Firebird!!) can be seen....LOL
