I got another email:

Here is the story about the car and why it is selling. Sound legit to anyone?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting me about my 1969 CHEVROLET CORVETTE STINGRAY L-89 COUPE that I have for sale. This car is in great shape (90471 miles ,Title: Clear). It has no damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects and all numbers matching.

It is in immaculate condition,meticulously maintained and hasn't been involved in any accident. I do have the title, clear, under my name. My husband and I divorced last year,after the divorce I was awarded with the car, I don't need it and that's why I'm selling it so cheap.The total price is $22000 including delivery and handling. I am relocated in Indianapolis, IN and the car is here as well. I recently moved here after I divorced. We can use Amazon FPS protection program. The financial part will be managed by them which means that you will have 10 days inspection period before committing to buy the car, a refund policy is included. The deal will go strictly according to Amazon FPS rules and policy. There are no other costs on thistransaction through Amazon FPS. Let me know if you want to buy it and I will offer you more details about the transaction.

Regards,

XXXXX XXXX

It almost sounds legitimate. If it is, what a bargain!

Instant reply from seller:

Hi again,

As I am in the hospital with my daughter I am not able to speak on the phone, that is why I sent you a late e-mail, so please understand me. You can e mail me back and tell me your questions and I will be more than happy to help you.

The car is already at the delivery company in Indianapolis, IN ready for delivery. I have setup this sale with Amazon FPS so this deal must go through them.

Unfortunately I'm not near you so I can't meet in person with you so this is the reason why I chose to sell my car on internet.

In order to complete this deal the payment must be sent to Amazon FPS. As soon as they receive the payment will notify me to start with delivery. The delivery cost is included in the price.

Amazon FPS will not release the payment to me until you receive and inspect the car (you have 10 days for inspection). If the car is not in same condition as I said you will ship it back on my expense and Amazon FPS will send you a full refund. But I assure you won't be the case. Now, if you are serious about this and want to move forward, just mail me back with:

- Your Full Name - Required by Amazon FPS (You'll receive important guidelines + payment instructions from them.)

- Your Delivery Address and Phone Number

As soon as I will receive the details from you, I will forward them to Amazon FPS and declare you as the buyer. They will contact you with further information regarding payment and delivery.

Thanks, hope to do business with you soon!

PS:The car comes with all the documents ( title, bill of sale, full service records, etc.) It has a clear title in my name. The title will be signed into your name as soon as the payment will be sent to Amazon FPS.

Ebay has no protection against this and they simply do not care enough to instill some. They allow these garbage people to create new accounts, bid on items up to reserve, not only not pay the seller but try to get money out of the seller, and have zero repercussions for it. This has happened to me on Ebay personally and I refuse to use it anymore. I hate Ebay if you couldn't tell because of the scammers they "invite" on.
