If someone stole pictures of your car that you were trying to sell would you like to be banned? Think about it for a second, A Robinson is not trying to scam anyone. Someone stole his pictures and used them on Ebay.

Calm down there chief. A Robinson is selling the car for $24,900.00 and there is no link to the phony eBay auction anywhere on the post.

I'm pretty sure A Robinson is the one getting screwed on this deal, not the one doing the screwing.

^ even the email address is different from robinson.

When i usually recieve bullsh!t replies from overseas and the car is somewhere else, i just bullsh!t with them. For example, "Egypt!? Great! Iam from Egypt, where do you want to meet me in Egypt."

Haha! That's too funny.

And I reported it to eBay as well. Hopefully they'll pull it.

lol, these ads are so popular on ebay motors, especially with supras and hayabusas. A while back a guy started putting up ads trying to rally people together to try and stop it from happening or at least make people more aware of the problem...ebay eventually stopped him.

-Any one who e-mails the people will have one of two things happen.
-1. They will send money to the person and to make a long story short, will not get it back.
-2. In time they will get multiple fake e-mails that are seemingly from paypal or ebay which ask them for their account information.

-Just remember, never give information via e-mail or to links from e-mail, no matter how genuine the e-mail or the webpage linked from the e-mail seems.

I got an E- mail from the guy back. Here it is....

Its in order form what I sent to what he sent. Bottom to top I believe.



Hi again,

As I said in my first email the car is currently located in Amsterdam,Netherlands and it will be shipped from here by water.You will get the car to the nearest port in your area and then it will be trucked forward to your place.Usually shipment takes maximum 8 days depending on your location.

You will receive and all the papers and receipts that you needs to register the car.The delivery agent will take care of all the papers.He will let you have the TITLE, keys,owner manual, manufacturer's certificate of origin.Everything will be sent along with the car.

Payment will be done by cash money transfer and will be supervised by SafePay Solutions.The most important thing in all my activity is that I am affiliated at SafePay and I have a purchase protection account for $10,000.This money is for refunding my customers in case they are not satisfied with my selling activity.The financial part of this deal will be manage by them.They are acting like a third party in this deal.They will keep the payment until you receive and test the car.You will send the money to a SafePay agent.They will verify the payment and if is OK,if the money exist and are available they will notify me to proceed with the shipping.After you receive and see that the car is the one you want,you just notify SafePay to give me the money.If you will not receive the car as i described to you,although this is not the case,SafePay will refund you with 100% from the whole amount which you paid me.
Your total including delivery fees and insurance to your door is $7,000
Please take into consideration that I will get paid only after you receive the car.

If you agree with these terms and you have the money, send me your full name and the address where you want the car to be shipped and i will initiate the transaction trough SafePay.

I have reserved the car for you and I will appreciate a fast answer.
Thank you,
Brent

PS: the car was a gift for my brother in law ,i did not pay for it.
i am selling the car so cheap because i can't register it in Netherlands and i need money fast to buy a new one from here

Well I just donr understand. Ive seen this same exact car for sale in some Lancer Evolution forums before. SAME car. And it most definately was not listed at 7,000 USD. So whats the catch man? How much did you purchase it for? It just doesnt fall into place. Where and when did you purchase it?

In the first email which i dont think is there I jsut asked him why and where hes form n blah blah
