Hello there,

Thank you for your interest in my 2001 Plymouth Prowler.(Vin #
1P3EW65G21V701799).
http://2001-plymouth-prowler.biz.ly/2001PlymouthProwler.htm

The price I want to obtain for it is $10,900 US ,the car is like new,
completely working, perfect running condition, with no hidden damages or
accidents,it has always been garage kept,low miles.You will receive the car
with all the necessary papers(clear title, bill of sale,warranty documents,
user's manual,insurance etc).
I am requesting a $3,900 refundable deposit at the begining of the shipping
and the balance to be paid after delivery and inspection.If you are not 100%
content with the car you will ship it back on my expense to get your deposit
back.I am sure this will not happen, because it is a state of the art
vehicle and you will have no reason not to be content with it.
This is a large purchase and I would like to use a third party for this
transaction as I want a smooth and safe transaction.We will use eBay as
third party.
First you will pay the downpayment to eBay and the reminder you can send it
directly to me or trough eBay also.
Please note that eBay will hold your deposit of $3,900 until you will
confirm that you received the car and you transfered the title into your
name.
If you agree with these terms, please send me your full name, home and
shipping address,eBay ID so I can register the transaction with eBay asap.

...waiting for your fast answer
Best Regards,Ronald Johnson

Hi again,
The car is located in Dallas,TX.
The only problem is that i work in the army and right now i`m at duty.The
car is my garage and i don`t have nobody home.My parents live in other
state.
The only way we can close this transaction is : I will deliver the car to
you , directly to your home address.You will have a 15 days inspection
period.In this time you must decide if you want to keep or not the car but
i`m 100 % sure that you will love the car.
The car have only 8000 miles,no damages,never involved in accident,is like
new..I`m selling the car because i`m one step to lose my restaurant and i
need this money urgently.

If you agree with this please email me your full name and address where you
want the car to be shipped.Once i will have those informations i will
register the transaction with ebay and in very short time they will contact
you with all payment details and all the instructions for the deposit.

Best Regards,Ronald

That said, Ebay does offer escrow services, you can read about them here:

Ebay Escrow Services

Regardless, I'm certain that this guy isn't going to work with an approved Ebay escrow service, he's looking for a quick buck. Personally, I wish him all the luck and extended jail sentences he has coming to him...

TUIB at least can blame the lack of timely reporting on that flea bag mutt.

Well said Dave.

It would be nice to play along and try to get enough info to take these guys off the street. Will it happen, probably not. But if everyone just ignores them they will continue to find people to to rip off.

Here you go I just emailed this guy as follows, will keep posted if I get a response:

Ronald,

I'm willing to pay your asking price "up front" and in full in order to not lose out on getting the car, but I've got a little problem..... I won the lottery, and my wife won't let me buy the Prowler until she gets $3,000 for a "boob job".... She owns half of the ticket and won't let me cash it in until she gets her $3,000....Maybe if you could send me $3,000 to accomplish that, I can get my wife to agree, she'll "sign off", I'll cash in my ticket and send you your asking price plus refund the $3000 within 7 days...

Let me know ASAP, I don't want to lose out on your Prowler.

Grant
