This is such a scam its not funny.. Next time you try to scam some one you better make it more of a story then this one... If you think anyone that knows about GN is going to fall for this you better think Twice. I have found the org. post that list this vehicle for 17,500 and will be contacting the owner which has a phone number, flagging the post and listing it on the Turbo Buick site so this doesnt happen to anyone... Dude get a new job cuz you suck at being a criminal !!!!!!!

Hello,
To speed up the process, I've applied for the services of well known freight company that will handle everything in a hassle free, beneficial and secure manner for both parts regarding shipping. The car is already at the shipping company in KY crated and ready for shipping. It is there because of the non-paying bidder I've told you in my first email.
In order to secure the deal (regarding payment), I've applied to use the eBay's Motors Protection Program services as I have a purchase protection account for $20,000. They will act as a third party between us and they will hold the funds until you receive, inspect and accept the car. Delivery will not take more than 7 working days depending on your exact location.
Here is a step-by-step description on how their service is working :
1.First of all I will need the following details from you:
- Full Name
- Full Shipping Address
2. As soon as I will receive the details from you, I will forward them to eBay.
3. eBay will process your info, they will send us both invoices. All the details regarding shipping, payment, refund and terms will be on the Invoice.
4. Once eBay will have the funds in posession, they will inform me to begin shipping. After you receive the car you will have 5 days to run a full check on the car. During this period your payment will be secured with eBay . The funds will be transferred into my account ONLY when you instruct them to, after delivery and, of course, after your acceptance.
5. Should you dislike the vehicle for any reason, eBay will refund you in FULL. The return of the vehicle will be on my expense.
If you wish to close the deal, please send me the necessary info so that we can proceed. I'm looking forward to hear from you.
VIN# : 1G4GJ1172HP457498
Thank you,
Christine

Hello,
First of all I want to thank you for your interest. I hope I will not bother with this story. Because of my handicap (I am deaf-mute) internet is the only place where I can try to sell the car. I hope I will be able to answer all the questions you might have by email as any other type of communication will be impossible.
Unfortunately my son passed away in Kandahar last year. The Buick was his car. Now as I have no family left, the car will be my gift, my gift in the memory of my son...Money is not a problem! All I want is to find the right person who will love and take care of this car. The price I am after is $3,500 US. You may wonder why I ask this small amount for this car. Well...the truth is that I decided to do this only as form of protest. This is exactly what I have received as compensation after my son died serving his country. Nothing more, nothing less!!!
Please note that 1987 Buick Regal Coupe (Turbo) has only 75,000 actual miles. It is very clean, garaged all the time, some minor power and fuel economy mods. Many extras, have all original parts.
The car is in KY and in case it gets sold I will take care of shipping. This is already arranged as I have had it listed elsewhere, had it prepared for shipping but the highest bidder wasn't able to get the funds together to pay it. Let me know if you are interested, email back.
