A friend is trying to buy a ridiculously cheaply price BMW 118 from an address in Scotland owned by a woman who is in Greece at the moment. She is willing to have the car shipped down on some dodgy sounding ebay set up once he has paid the money into her ebay account. he can then test drive the car and reject it if he doesn't like it. Sounds to good to be true and quite a clever scam imo as the car was advertised on ebay on a buy it now.
This is part of what he has received from her, what does NSC reckon? All the stuff below has come through in an ebay logo'd look and lay out.
After verifying the trustworthiness of the seller and the availability of the Vehicle for immediate shipping, we have approved your buy it now transaction and offered you, as the buyer, full purchase protection for the amount you agreed on with the seller.
The seller ******** started the transaction over the eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection Program. eBay require the payment to be done through wire transfer service to a Vehicle Purchase Protection Program verified agent.
You are receiving this e-mail because you are going to buy a vehicle and your seller requested to use eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection Program. The eBay Vehicle Protection Programs offer a set of services that build protection into every step of the vehicle buying process. Some of the elements are automatically included when you buy a vehicle covered by the program element (not all elements are available for all vehicles) while some of the elements are available for a small fee. The eBay vehicle protection program is your safety net in the rare occasion that something goes wrong.
