Default 928 CL scam

Found this ad local to me and emailed the seller. Check out this scam reply......

Does anyone really fall for this crap?

http://newjersey.craigslist.org/ctd/1638977758.html

The car is already at the shipping company in Florida sealed and ready for the shipping. I have a contract with eBay and we can handle this transaction with their help.
I'm very busy with my job and I'm left out of the town so I can't meet in person with you so this is the reason why I chose to sell my car over the internet.
According to eBay you have 5 days from the time you receive the car to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not.
Here is how it will work:
1.First of all I will need the following details from you:
- Full Name
- Full Shipping Address
2. After I will receive the details from you, I will forward them to eBay.
3. After they will process your info, they will send us both invoices. The invoice will send you the details on how to make a refundable payment.
4. eBay will contact me and I will ship the car to you. After you receive the car you will have 5 days to test, verify and do whatever you need to the car. If you will buy, then I will receive the payment details from eBay so that I can pick up the money.
5. If you will decide that you will not buy the car, eBay will refund the money and I will have the shipping company come pick up my car. If you wish to make the transaction, please send me the necessary info so that we can proceed. I look forward to hear from you.

This is the same car that has been on New Hampshire CL for $2500, and 2 different times on the Phoenix CL, once for $6995, and more recently for $3600. There may be a real car out there - I'll bet it's in AZ by the looks of the pics....

I thought that looked bad. I recently posted about it on another thread.

Looks like the same scam ring that tried to sell my future MIL a van.
