2 years ago I saw a Corvette 4 sale on Ebay that had a rare color combo. I sent a note via ebay and the "seller" responded with the scam in Europe. When they ask for funds via one of the wire services, usually Western Union,the red flag should go up. I found who the real owner was. It was a retired FBI agent who was now working for an insurance auto theft company. He was mortified. We both reported it to Ebay but nothing further happened. Beware of the scams.

Ummm, would it be rude to ask if you'll sell the boat to a fellow OSO member for the $32,000? jk....

I almost bought a project boat on ebay 2 Thanksgivings ago but lost the bid in the last few seconds. 2 days later I get a second chance offer. So I start emailing for more info and get suspect replies. I then contact the auction winner by phone and he said the boat is in his driveway. So I contact ebay and heard nothing back. I also contacted local police and they said the problem is too big for them to handle and just advised me to watch out in the future.

I would never buy anything substantial over ebay w/o seeing it in person. Zero $$$ would trade hands unless it was in person. Screw the deposits...they can wait until I drive to see the boat/bike/truck/car/atv....

I just emailed him to find out if I could send a deposit and how we could move forward. We'll see what happens.

C'mon guys...all you need is a little common sense here, anybody stupid enough to wire money overseas deserves to lose it.
