Default Fraud anyone?

Here is the craigslist listing and following that is the email that was sent back to me after i inquired:



http://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/ctd/1058369211.html



Hello,
You made the right choice!My 1992 Acura NSX Twin Turbo is in great shape,no
engine problems,damages or hidden defects.My husband and after the divorce i own this car,i don`t
need it and that`s why i`m selling it so cheap.The mileage is 52000
and the price is $3,300.We will use eBay`s protection program for our
safety.I just need your full name and address so i can open a
case.(with no further obligation or fees).Have a nice day!

That's waaaaay too low to be true. Even 20k would be too low for 52k mi good condition NSX without the turbo.

yeah, most ebay protection sellers are scammers. You give them your address/name, it will show up at your door for however much they please (and whatever they want can show up at your door)

I got a similar response from a "US Military Lieutenant" who was heading to the middle-east and needed to sell his car before a certain date. I inquired about his 1962 corvette. It's worth about $60k but was selling for $7000! Anyway, he was in FL, I'm out of CA. He wanted to use that ebay thing but I needed to give him MY information to open an account for ME! HUH??? I don't think so buddy.
Unless you're going to deal face to face and see, drive, and inspect the car it's definitely not worth it.
Fraud alert.
