Beware of GN Police on E-bay

There is a listing for a 1987 Buick GN Police Interceptor on E-Bay with a Buy It Now of $2,900.00. Beware! When you click on the auction link, you can see thesite flashes a couple of times like it's redirecting you and low and behold it send you to:

eBay Motors: Buick : Grand National (item 320223142406 end time Mar-07-08 01:13:10 PST)

Somebody has hijacked the site with this listing. This car was previously on e-bay a few weeks ago and someone has stolen it. Look at the feedback of the seller. Trying to gain creditability?

My first thought was that this auction was set up so that when you signed it, it would steal your id and password? I did not sign in.

a buick much less a v6 do 200mph

I was on lunch break today viewing ebay for buick stuff and I seen that and something said don't click it. Now I am glad I did not. When I see anything turbo regal related and the advertiser has rediculous claims as in GNX, FBI, Twin Turbo, Special Edition, Area 51 top secret gn's, etc. I just get as far away as possible. Seems that these cars are magnets for morons and scams.
