    sounds suss az, but weirder stuff can happen

    recieved this email

    First I want to thank you for question about the car. The car is in perfect condition, with no scratches on it, no damage. It have all the papers and document and I am also the first owner. The price is $10,000 including the shipping to your address (only in Australia). The car is registered in Australia on my name and address but currently I am located in London, UK because I just finished the divorce with my husband and i have moved here to my parents home. The payment will be made through eBay and only after you will receive the car, I will receive the payment.

    If you are interested in buying it please provide me your full name and address so I can initiate the deal through eBay.
    I will wait your answer(if you are interested to buy) very soon

    Thank you

    "Payment will be made through Ebay and only after you will receive the car..."

    Translated from Nigerian Jinglish, this says "If you are a real mug, you will pay me through Ebay (because they move money internationally very efficiently via Paypal), and you will never receive the car because I will be untraceable back in Nigeria. Suck eggs, greedy sucker!"

    Haha, any takers?

    ha ha that tops it off, That is exactually what they said to the guy who was looking at our car, just moved to uk and just been divorced, only they told him pick up was from a freight yard somewhere, there is actually a website that tells you all about this scam, i'll try and get it,
