[Chrysler300] Removal of Item number 4613124803

[John Spiers <spiers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ebay has a reporting mechanism in place that allows members to report a suspected fraudulent auction - Press the Help button at the top of the mainpage, go to "Security Center" on the left side of the next page, and select "Report Another Problem".  You will have a menu that you select "Fraud Concerns for Buyers" in the upper window, and the lower window, select "Report a Listing that you think is fraudulent (you didn't bid)" and you can enter the auction number and send the message to eBay.
   
  I've done this fraud reporting for several 300 letter car auctions that I've browsed - I'm sure I'm not the only one doing it - and the auction is usually removed within the day.  This and other lowball "buy it now" scams for non-existent vehicles have been very popular with late-model Harley-Davidsons for some time.
   
  If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

  The listing appears to have been removed from eBay already.  Maybe the
scammers(?) realized they were caught.

If anyone is considering bidding or buying this car, I'd be happy to check
it out in person.  Charleston MA is 10 miles down the road from me.

Yes it is.  I did get a reply:  

Hello,
The car is located in Charlestown MA, in excellent running and body
condition, no flaws on it or any other mechanical problems. It has a
clear title and it will be signed and notorized on your name as soon as
the payment will be completed. 
Regarding payment I am aware of the buyer's protection and we will use
eBay's motors vehicle purchase protection program which will hold the
payment until you receive the car. If you are interested you will be
asked to make a deposit of $3,400; the buy it now price is $12,400. 
By sending your deposit to eBay you are not buying the car, is just the
way the program works (and in case you buy the car it will give you a 1
month/1000 miles guarantee). However, it is 100% refundable if the car
is not as described. 
If you are interested please provide me the following informations
necessary to take a decision : 
-your full name and address for shipping 
-your phone # 
-any negative feedback and if so .... for what reason. 
If I receive the requested information you will be informed by eBay
during the next hours with details about your purchase. 
The car will be inspected and evaluated by eBay's team so there is no
need to ask me about it's condition as long it will be a guaranteed
purchase by eBay.

Thank you,  
   Douglas Black

The scammers are at it again.  This car was sold.  I owned it, the new
owner is happy with it.  I see club members bidding on it....it is a
bogus
auction.
