Is this a scam?
First of all I would like to tell you that the car is located in Quebec, Canada as I recently moved here. I received a good job here and along with the job I received a company car a new Range Rover expenses free. I have no use for Silverado anymore and I will not spend a fortune to register it here so I am forced to sell it much below the US market value. The full price is $4,800.00 US dollars with shipping included to your location. I have a clean title ready to be signed. The car has no electrical or mechanical problems, never been involved in any kind of accidents.
For our protection we can use eBay Motors to complete the transaction. The deal will go strictly according to eBay rules and policy. In order to start the official transaction, I need to know your details:
- Full name and Shipping address
As soon as I have them, I'll start the official procedure and eBay service will notify you about this. I'll handle the shipping, so this will be free of charge for you. We will use eBay Motors to manage the payment because it is the safest way for both of us and also you will have 10 days to inspect the car before I receive the money. Also, a refund policy will be included.
2007 Chevrolet Silverado K1500 5WD (still US registred clear title!)
Mileage: 22,500 miles
VIN: 2GCEK13M271504343
CREW PICKUP 5.3L V8 SFI
4 WHEEL DRIVE
Black / Exterion and inside
Automatic, 8 Cylender, Passenger airbag, Air conditioning, Cruise control, Power locks, Power windows, Power seats.
The car is immaculate inside and out! No smokers, no pets!

I would not provide ANY personal information until the vehicle is already posted in eBay. If it's that great a deal, why is he wanting your information BEFORE starting the eBay auction?

Scam!!!!
Ebay/PayPal (Ebay owns PayPal) can't and won't do squat to get your money back if you get scammed on this!
Ebay will not flag unless someone complains! They talk real big about protecting your money but when it comes down to the knitty-gritty they tuck their tail between their legs and slither out the door when you try to get your money from a fraudster!!
Fact, seen it happen to many times.
Been There Done That, as they say! Run away as fast as you can from this deal, it's a SCAM!!!!!!

The seller could easily dispose of the vehicle locally by selling it to a used car dealer for far more than his "asking" price.

This IS a scam. But I was reading on the snowest forum the other day of something similar where the scammers got scammed themselves it was hilarious. It makes for along read but very funny about time someone turned the scam around on the scammer and it cost them some cash. Here is the site if you want to read for yourself Welcome to the 419 Eater. Caution they are addictive when you start reading them. Some of them go on for over 8 months.

That is 100% a scam, and it's the latest version of the same scam that has been running around for years now.
The last one that was really popular was where someone pretended to be in the military and shipped overseas. They had advertised a car in the U.S., and you could only go see it if you put a deposit down so the owner could fly into town and show it to you. Of course, that deposit would be long gone, and you'd never hear from that person again.
So same scam, it's just now on a new version.
