Ebay Ferrari Dino scam

I was surfing Ebay the other day and noticed a 72 Dino for sale. This add asked for people not to bid and required you to email them on an email OTHER than the Ebay email account. I have seen this type pf scam many times with expensive electronics, fitness equipment ect ect. This is the first time I have seen these scammers target Ferrari cars. They will ask you to contact them and not place a bid on the item. Of course the add gives you an outrageously low price to purchase the item. In this case the Dino was $42,000.00. These accounts are legitimate accounts but have been hijacked by someone else. Once you email them the will get you to send them money either by wire or through a fake ebay set up. Here are the follow up emails with this particular scammer. Oh by the way lately they have been using GMAIL and most of the time are in eastern Europe with a connection over here in the USA. The follow are the email transactions between myself and the scammer. Scammer is using the alias Don Buchanon. You will have to read the emails from the BOTTOM UP for them to be in order and make sence. Remember if its seems too good a deal to be true.....IT IS.



Sorry, but I can't wait that long. I have someone else coming on Tuesday to see the car with the cash.

Ok I will be there this week sometime. I will be bringing a friend of mine
who is with the Miami police as I do not like to make these transactions
alone. Could you please give me a phone # of the building office and the
name of the person I will be meeting. Thank you

Hello
If you are interested in the car please read this e-mail carefully!
First of all I must inform you that I'm located in Budapest, Hungary.
I recently moved here with my job and I had the intention to take the
car here with me, but I discovered that it is very hard to register a US car
here and the taxes are very high. Not to mention that here the gasoline is
much more expensive. So, unfortunately, I had to leave the car in the US.
The price is $42,000. The car is in excellent condition. It has no
scratches on and hasn't been involved in an accident. The motor runs very well.
The car was always garaged. The car is still US registered and the title
is clear. The car is in US at the shipping company and it is ready to be
shipped. The delivery will take between 7 and 10 business days (with insurance and 30 days return policy). I will pay for the shipping! If the car does not matches 100&#37; the description, you will return it
in maximum 30 days and I will pay for the return shipping fees. Payment
will be made through eBay so we can be both protected! If you are interested please let me know. I have reserved the car for you, but I will need your answer in the next couple of days.
Thank you, Dan Buchanon
