Yeah Right! Blatant E-bay Scam!
Check out this Supercharged 2005 GTlisting. It's obviously a scam! Bad thing is that there's already a bidder!

Weird, Car is in Chicago....what's with all the Palm trees and tropical plants in the back ground???...I just heard of some stupid kid get taken for 2800.00 on a similar scam on a motorcycle. What's with people...do their brains freeze when they see what they think is a great deal...

RE: Yeah Right! Blatant E-bay Scam!
A few things are obvious red flags.
The guy is not a registered e-bay member. He has zero feedback. I guess he doesn't even know his own VIN number??? Starting bid at $200 with no reserve? Contact member through e-bay not working?
His terms are probably some scam involving wiring money to someone overseas and they'll deliver the car. Pretty common scam actually.
A supercharged GT for $6000. Come on now! At least make the price believable if you're trying to scam someone!

RE: Yeah Right! Blatant E-bay Scam!
Attention anyone who is considering placing a bid on this car:
It just so happens that I am the sole owner of a very famous bridge in NYC (rhymes with "crooklyn"), and am now accepting offers from interested buyers.
My minimum price is $1000 with no reserve, and I would like to be paid by money order sent to my p.o. box in Nigeria.
This is not a "scam", I am as honest as the day is long, so please trust me and make a generous offer because I will be donating half the proceeds to orphan homes and the other half to cancer research!
P.S. If your generous offer exceeds $5000, I will throw in my ' 07 Shelby GT 500 for FREE...!
Sorry I don't have any pics, but that's only because my camera is broken.........

RE: Yeah Right! Blatant E-bay Scam!
LOL.... for that $6000, you will probably get a matchbox car delivered in his Saleen Supercharger box that he stole from a friends neighbor. And yes, after you wire payment to his offshore account. Come on guys, nobody, besides the retard that already bid, wants to jump on this bargain??
