Then I got this email from the seller. remember, this was a autotrader listing in st. louis, Note the location of the truck.....not an ebay listing.

They will take care of the shipping and all the small details. You will get the truck and you will have 5 days of inspection in which you can decide if you buy the truck or not. If you won`t like my truck (not your case) you notify eBay and you send the truck back on my cost,if you want to keep it you announce eBay to send me the money (payment method and all the details will be set up by eBay) and you keep the truck.

eBay will send you an invoice at your email in which you will see how to start this transaction and in which you can see that this transaction is legit. Please get back to me with your full name and full address so i can forward your details to eBay in order for you to receive the invoice.

It means that I located the exact geographical location of the computer that send the email, and If I had the guts too, I would call the local police and have them arrested.

I didn't, it was 3am on a sunday morning. I was tired, pissed off and went to bed

Broken English = not typing very coherent sentences, words missplaced, bad grammar, etc.

and the whole " i dont have it in my possession" seems to be a theme as well. the deal my FIL got hooked with was similar..."i am away (out of the country) on business but i have left it with so-and-so to handle the transaction and shipping"

Sir,
Why are you so suspicious about me?
I never fooled someone in any way.
I won't risk my career, my freedom and my future for anything in the world!!!
I would rather close this deal with other person than to know that you'll be very stressed hoping that I am a honest person, untill you receive your vehicle. Your peace of mind is a lot more important than this deal!!!
If you decide not to go through with it there is no problem. I got quite a few offers left.
Thank you for your time and interest.
Whatever you decide I wish you good luck.

Sincerely,
Maria

<TT>i have reason to suspect this is a scam.if you can send a picture of you with the truck and anything else that proves this is legit then we can continue. I gave you the wrong address anyway and will NOT pay a cent for anything.DO NOT register with E-bay and do NOT use that address for anything until you can prove to me that this deal is legitimate.</TT></PRE>
