CHEAP 2005 CLK55 AMG - Can U believe $13K?
I found this car on Autotrader.com:
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...uperSpotlight=
Car in Texas, owner claims to be in U.K. but will not answer why the car is so cheap
. Wouldn't let me see it in person B4 buying. Sounds fishy to me (as in Katrina-fishy). Anybody else inquire on this car?

There is actually a website of people who make it a hobby of "playing" with these scammers. The site is called 419eater.com. Check it out. It's AMAZING what you can do to lead and mess with these scum of the earth

After a few enquiries, he sent me the vin number for this CLK55 in Texas, which a quick google search revealed to be that of a black CLK55 for sale in Washington state. I knew it was a scam, but needed the vin to sic autotrader on him. Which may have worked; the ad has been taken down. Here's his letter:
Hi there,
The deal can be done via eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection program like this :
I must have a assurance that you really want to buy the car, so you will have to make a deposit of $2950 USD at ebay.
The money will stay at ebay Protection Program, and then after the transaction is done
eBay's shipping company (DAS Auto) will ship the car to your address and you will receive the car in max 3 days.
The transport and the car will be insured by DAS auto transport service and the vehicle will be delivered in excellent conditions.
At the pick up of the vehicle an inspection will be made and if for some reason you do not like the car and you dont want to buy it, the shipping agent will refund you in cash.
Or if you want to keep the car then you will pay the rest of the money to ebay.
If you choose personal pickup then after the transaction is done we will setup the meeting date and an agent from ebay will join and assist at the meeting place and if you dont accept the car you will be refunded in cash.
If you choose shipping then you will have to pay the shipping taxes.
Also you will have 3 working days to test the car and if you decide to keep it then i will be paid, if not the car will be shipped back and you will be refunded.
If you want to buy it please email me your full name and address ...I will send you the bill of sale of the vehicle with all the terms of our transaction signed by me and also the notary.
If you agree with these terms you should also sign the bill of sale and e-mail it back to me. This way i will know that you are a serius buyer and will forword your info to Ebay.
They will contact you sending you the invoice with all payment details to complete this deal.
I attach some photos.Here is the VIN. WDBTK76G75T038012 and you should make a carfax report to see theat the car don't have any problem.
Thanks.
Elliott.
