Is this the Laguna Blue one on Autotrader? If so, they have a 315 area code. That is what my area code is. I used to live in utica,Ny. Just moved to Virginia. This has to be some kind of scam.

We've tallied the votes and... listen to your fellow s2k enthusiasts....

I am in a line of work where I see this kind of thing every day, ok, almost every day... ok, maybe once or twice a month... this is clearly a variation of a long running scam designed to separate you from your money and, in 99 out of 100 cases, leave the poleeece with no way to track down the bad guys. Simple rule of thumb... if the offer seems to good to be true, it probably is.

I would love to see these people posted up on 4chan or something for a little internet justice.

Tell her you're going through your LAPD credit union and the e-mails will stop quick.
