Ebay scam?

[sonicbloo]

Be careful with this seller http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Alfa-Romeo-/9834/m.html?... I think the genuine autoworld dealer has had their ebay account hijacked. Prices appear to be at least £3k too cheap.

I've sent an email asking for details on a 2013 Giulietta 2 litre diesel veloce (the model I'm hunting for) 10,000 miles for £9k. Hmmm I smell a rat, will report back when I get a reply.

Going to ring the genuine dealer as well tommorow

thought so, here's my reply...........

Hi,

Thank you for your email.

The total price is £8000 including shipping to your address.
Price reduced for a quick cash sale.

Currently i am located in Thurso, with my business.
The payment will be made through eBay and only after you will receive the item, i will receive the payment.

It will take around 3-5 working days until you will receive the item and you will have a 3 days inspection period (so you have 3 days to change your mind and refuse or keep it). Also, I need to know if you have cash in hand because I have a lot buyers interested in the purchase and I don't have time to waste. No offense but if you really want to buy it I will stop communicating with the other interested buyers.

If you are interested in buying it please provide me your full name and address so i can initiate the deal through eBay. You must know that eBay will contact you without any obligation to buy it or fees.

I will wait your answer (if you are interested to buy) very soon.

Thanks

Oh what a shame EBay have already removed the ad... I was hoping to have some fun emailing that one.
