LOL - ebay is full of dodgy ©unts

Email from seller

Hello there,

Thank you for your interest in my 2003 Ford Falcon BA XR6. The price I want to obtain for it is $9,000 (this price includes shippment and insurance charges).

The car is like new, completely working, low miles, 2003 model - 4 litre. It has always been garage kept. It is an AU model with AU specs on it (RHD) and this car was never crushed, dropped or raced, no scratches, no dents and also it has a CLEAR title and CLEAN and you will just have to register it in your state. It will come with all the papers (warranty, insurance etc. ...). I took care of it like it was my own baby and now is in the same condition as it was when I bought it -- even better!

It will be shipped via air freigth with Lufthansa Air Cargo from Rome, Italy to the nearest international airport from your area and from there with ground freigth to your door. I'm in the Military and Lufthansa will manage me a low price for shipping and if you will pay the money transfer taxes, I will pay for the shipping fees.

The shipping costs and the insurance taxes of the package will be down to me and you will pay the fees for transferring the money (about 5% of the total amount).

The payment will be completed using Ebay security I want to take this opportunity to assure you that this deal is 100% LEGIT because Square Trade will be the third party between us and I think that we can make the deal by using their services. I have a purchase protection account of $20,000 with them. If this is your first time using Square Trade here are their terms: if you will not receive the car exactly as advertised or you won't receive it in 15 days since the payment has been made, Square Trade will refund you from my Square Trade account.

Regards,

Ps. If you have the money ready and you want to buy my baby I will declare you the winner of my auction and I will contact eBay Square Trade to start the deal. If this is OK with you please REPLY WITH YOUR FULL NAME AND SHIPPING ADDRESS IN YOUR NEXT EMAIL so that we can move forward with this deal!

Question about your item

Dear nestorells,

Also, are you still offering the $9000 price for the item. If so, please call me on xxxxxxxxx. Thanks.

Thank you,

a) Why is the Falcon in Italy?
b) Why is it listed as a BA and then described as an AU?
c) So, the buyer is supposed to pay for the transfer fees to transfer the money out of the country and the seller then pays for the imaginary air freight?

Do you reckon anyone could be retarded enough to fall for this "completely 100% legit scam"? No No No
