Okay I have 5 vehicles on E-bay and they are not even 5 hours old. Here we go again! I just had to copy this question and show everyone. This is from an Ebay person who registered today and is from Nigeria. Of course I have answered this and added it to the bottom of the auction page!<br /><br />
Q: GOODDAY, DEAR SIR/MA WANT TO KNOW THE COST OF THE VEHICLE ,IM HIGHLY INTERESTED,SO PLS GET BACK TO ME WITH MY E MAIL,WILL BE EXPECTING YOUR REPLY. THANKS. doyin115(0)
My response....... :D
A: My prayers have been answered!! A Nigerian buyer!!Let's see.... For you a bargain price how about $10,000,000 in US funds and of course I would fully expect you will pick this vehicle up since I will not ship and not to Nigeria. Since you are such a good E-bayer since June 7, 2005 I will expect the cash before the end of the week. With $10,000,000 we can git er done! Oh, please invite your friends I have 4 other vehicles on e-bay for about the same price! You guys can get the fiends and family group discount! I am sure e-bay will agree. Oh actually that will be $10,000,099 I forgot the documentation fee! Sincerely, Bob
If I get the cash I promise I will share it with all my i-boats family. :D <br /><br />Bob

:D :D :D <br /><br />I found a great way of stopping them even contacting me when I was selling vehicles on there.<br />I copied all the address bar the house number from the Scambaiter site for the fraudsters in the UK into the listing.Then I suggested very nicely that should anyone attempt to defraud me in that manner I'd send immigration a nice note with the full address and name of the scammer.<br /><br />Worked a treat. I didn't even get one trying it on.

I was defrauded the price of a $22K BMW on eBay by a dealer in Chicago. Do we bomb Illinois too?

I'm relaxed, don't worry. My point was, the "Nigerian scam" is global just like every other fraud we encounter on a daily basis. That would be just like America though. Bomb Nigeria when an America doesn't have the facts straight.<br /><br />;-)<br /><br />Cheers.
