RE: IML: This can't be for real

["Ken Lang" <ken@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been in contact with one of the eBay administrators who sent a query to
the seller posing as a potential buyer.  The response was "word-for-word"
what you just received.  The "father deceased/bad memories" line is pretty
standard with scammers too.

Someone here on the list (I forgot who) sent an email to the seller asking
to go and see the car in person.  I'd be willing to bet there has been no
response.

This whole thing stinks like 5 day old un-refrigerated fish.

I asked the seller to be added as an "approved bidder"...a couple of days
later,
this is what I just received:

I'm really sorry for this late reply but I've been very busy lately and away
from a computer. The car is located in Turlock, CA. It has all the
papers(complete). This was my father's car who passed away 4 months ago, it
only brings me bad memories. I want this transaction to be smooth as I am
caught in the middle of some very important events and I don't have much
time at my disposal. The car is in perfect condition, no scratches, no
special marks, no need for additional repairs what so ever, no leaks, rust
free. A great car ready to be yours. It has no accident or any engine
problem.
The price is $5,000 including shipping costs anywhere in the continental US.
There are no other costs regarding this transaction. I require a deposit for
$2,500 before the car is delivered. Regarding payment I am aware of the
eBay's rules and we will use Vehicle Purchase Protection Program which will
hold the deposit until you receive the car.
If you are interested please provide me the
following informations necessary to take a decision:
-your eBay ID
-any negative feedback and if so .... for what reason .
If I receive the requested information you will be informed by eBay during
the next hours with details about your purchase.
Thank you,
Diane Lane.
