We all agree this auction was a scam, but take a look at this auction: http://tinyurl.com/74sgm This was the original auction of the REAL car. Notice the photo of the VIN plate...look familiar? All they did was change a "1" to a "0". I duplicated this effect in Photoshop in about a minute. Really makes you wonder about photos in other auctions. The bottom line: buyer beware! Give them the check when they hand you the keys. Inspect it yourself, or have someone you trust do it. The only question I have now is: if this is clearly a scam, why is the auction still listed on eBay (as of 4PM CST Saturday)?!?
