    Scam or not a scam?

    Hi,

    been searching for a D3 and came across this advert. Not seen this scam before..so is it a scam or not?

    Link to advert....

    4WD Wagons (SUVs) For Sale: LAND ROVER DISCOVERY on Trading Post Online

    Email reply from owner......

    First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my car. I sell at this price(AU$11000) because i just finished the divorce with my husband. When the divorce has finished i own this car. Now as a women i don't need. This car is in excellent working conditions, no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage, slightly used in 100% working and looking conditions and comes with a clear title, 3 months transferable warranty. From the begining you have to know that for the payment I request ONLY secure pay, I prefer the payment to be done using eBay services. We will use a safe payment method because I am affiliated at eBay and I have a purchase protection account for $20.000. The final price that I want for this car is AU$11000 including shipping and handling.
    I will wait your answer(if you are interested to buy) very soon!!


    Well Ladies and Gentlemen......what do you think?

    If you have to ask the question, you already should know the answer.

    That link goes to an ad for a Disco II for $26 900. No mention of $11 000 or a Disco 3.

    I guess I do know the answer but not seen this scam.

    seems the ad has been removed. I'll see where this goes. Might be fun.

    Am I missing something here - the ad is for a D2 - seems above board - e-mail seems unrelated to the vehicle - confused.

    A bloke I knew through the Westfield forum in the UK has a page on his web-site dedicated to his email responses to scammers from stuff he's been selling, it's a funny & good read:

    Even if you don't read it all, check out the phoney bank cheques at the bottom of the page (see who he gets them to make them out to):
