Yeah and the URLs for the pictures include another ebay user ID. Often if you search back a few months you find the same car for sale from another seller (they steal the ad text and reuse the photos.) The picture links might be from the real auction.

Here's the clincher--Got this email from the "seller":

Hello ,

Please excuse my delay. My name is John C. Filipek. First of all, I
want to
thank you for your interest in my 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet.
Well,
I have to let you know the car is in a perfect condition. The car is in
running and drivable condition needing no repairs and meet all USA
standard
for immediate re-title in your home state.

It will be shipped from England/UK. I will support the shipping taxes,
insurance and handling via Lufthansa Airplane Cargo insured and it will
take
4-6 days until you'll have it at your door step. I must sell it fast
because
I need money for my daughter's heart surgery.

The car will will come with a clear title, bill of sale. I already
puled off
my add because of the high number of demands for my car. I received
many
requests for my awesome porsche and it's more than I expected.

The buy it now price is $12,000.00 US and if you agree will agree my
terms
of payment we can start the transaction. You have to make a deposit of
$3,200.00 US first through western union money transfer so I can
prepare for
shipping. I will send the car in the same day I will receive the
deposit.
The faster you'll send the money the faster you will receive the car.
You
will have to pay the balance COD. The return policy is 30 days.
If you agree with these terms, please let me know and I will be more
than
glad to start the transaction with you.

I am waiting your email.
Regards,

John C. Filipek

Yeah....right!
