RE: [Chrysler300] EBay scammers getting better

["Lee Meyer" <js23rob@xxxxxxx>]

Might not be a scam, perhaps just an ebay newbie. Pretty common for the
newbies to not get back to emails etc. even I don't get back to emails
sometimes and I have been at the ebay thing for years.

Hi Club,

Well the scammers are getting more sophisticated and this one almost got
me.
What appeared to be a completely legitimate sale of a really nice
looking
'57 New Yorker turned out to be a scam. The only identifying factor was
that
the seller had 0 feedback. There was no buy-it-now or goofy email
address
with a demand for contact....it seemed completely legitimate and was
without
reserve. I am forwarding the information I received from Ebay....some of
you
might have seen the ad although it was only up for about 10 hours.

The seller was purportedly from Colorado. the car was no reserve, the
nomenclature and general tone was of someone who knows what they are
talking
about with respect to collector cars (they used the term '10-footer) and
also gave very detailed information as to the restorative work done to
the
car over the last 13 years or so.

They had good imagery as well and were knowledgeable about these cars in
general. I had sent the seller an email asking them to contact me prior
to
the end of the auction because they had zero feedback. I have not heard
from
him/her.
