I bet they're moving overseas and have to sell it immediately.

I get emails with the same verbiage as pic #2 all the time. They'll ask if you still have the car available after just listing it an hr earlier, then jump into the problems with CL processing emails and ask you to contact them directly. The generic 'the car' question is a dead giveaway, along with the hokie story about receiving emails. When I list my cars on multiple CLs, these emails all show up w/in minutes of each other. Can't imagine the nastiness that would rain down on your email addr if you fall for it.

At least they lifted the proper VIN. When I was in CL timeout for advertising on too many cities, the CL admins admonished me for not listing the VIN. I said it was too easy for someone to steal my pics and info and I didn't want to make their ad appear more legit by providing the VIN too. They acted like I was insane. I will always provide the VIN to a real person, but only after I've verified they're real. Had someone ask for the VIN as they're 1st and only question. I said I'd give it if they called me directly. They refused. Sorry, no deal.

I wonder how many ppl actually contact them thinking they've run across the deal of the century? Greed blinds the senses.
