Last night I checked EBAY for 67 Mustangs and searched by items newly listed. Low and behold there was a 67 Shelby with a BuyItNow for $9000.00 including shipping and a 67 K Code Fastback for $5800. Well I bought both of them knowing full well they are scammers. I ended up getting contacted first by the guy selling the Shelby. His story was his dad just died and he just wanted $9000.00 for it and he would ship it for free from PORTUGAL??? All he wanted me to do was to go ahead and Western Union wire him $3500 for a down payment and I would get the car to my door in 5-7 days.

Hello there!
I have researched and tested different payment methods and the
cheapest ones are the
slowest. I have found one that it is the fastest,to make the
deposit.
Their fees are high, but since
I want to make this deal as soon as possible and I believe you are
too, I will beprepared to cover 50% of the Western Union wire transfer
fee.
I will choose to use this service as I will have access to the funds
very fast and I will ship you the car with the delivery career
in max 12-14 hours after I receive the deposit payment confirmation
from
you.
As mentioned in my previous emails, I prefer to use KLM 5-7 days air
insured for shipping and I will cover shipping and insurance charges.
I have told you from the beginning that you will cover 50% of the
Western Union wire transfer fee so, please do not consider it a "hidden
charge".
In total, you will need to pay the buy now the deposit price which is
3,000
USD plus the
Western Union fee.
For the Western Union wire transfer, you will need my name and
address:
Musa Sarier
Rua Del Flores 12
Lisabo 21541
Portugal
Please email me your full name and shipping address before complete the
payment.
If you can arrange the payment with Western Union wire transfer in a
few
hrs,
I will ship you he car with KLM 5-7 2 days air insured in max 10-12
hrs.
They will shipp to the nearest airport and from there a person will
bring
the car at your
door.
The second scammer really worked hard at his ploy by first highjacking someomes great EBAY ID then really added a lot of Ebay jargon to make him sound legit. And then wanted me to wire him some $$
