I just emailed that one (http://www.autotrader.ca/a/Porsche/9...a/19_5600984_/):

Your ad says "must see", I would like to see this car, please let me know when I can come by. Thanks.

LOL, let's see how much of this scammers time I can waste.

....all while he/she saves your email address, sells it to a multitude of spam lists, and the internet
begins to waste YOUR time.....

I know. It's just that I didn't have the adress and didn't feel like replying just to get the adress to get nowhere.

It's more fun if he contacts the seller only to be told she's in Canada (because the seller just told me she was in NYC).

This is the response I got:

Subject: Re:1997 Porsche 911 Fully Loaded from AutoTrader



Hi,
* First of all I want to thank you for your interest in my car:1997 Porsche 911 Fully Loaded .The car is still available,I sell it at this price because i just finished the divorce with my husband. When the divorce has finished i took this car,the problem is that i had to move with my children in the United States to start a new life here,i got a new job transfer(i work as a doctor).I know the price is cheaper than normal on the market but i want to sell the car faster then usually and I assume that a lower price will be a good solution. I hope there won't be any arguments for the price as this is my bottom.This car is in excellent working conditions,NO accidents, slightly used ,100% working and looking conditions,ONLY 79,504 km, is always garaged and , is registered in Canada and it has clear title .From the beginning you have to know that for the payment I request ONLY secure pay, I prefer the payment to be done using eBay Motors Shipping Company services so both of us can be protected.The final price that I want for this car is $9,500 CAD( including shipping and handling).
I will wait for your answer(if you are interested to buy) very soon! I wish you good health!
Thank you and have a great day!

Haha, I love this. No university, city or state, just "school of medicine".

I think you can trust her though, she's a doctor!

Classic scam. They always give this story. You would think they'd be smart enough to create a new scenario and at least ask a more reasonable price.

Because of the hundreds of thousands of scams several Nigerian groups run each year - they run out of names and places to use in their emails - so they recycle or use hybrids of names and places they have used before and mix them up for the next scam. A funny thing happens when you use a key word search...
