Here are some tips on how you can spot the scam.

1. Seller has no feedback on EBAY. Obviously, this is a bogus name.

2. Price is absurd, not even close.

3. No VIN number to check out the car's background on line.

4.No location

5. Free shipping of a car?

6. 3 day listing

This is too bad as I advertise real Porsches on EBAY. This guy is not even a good scam artist. However, it does show how easy it is to attract greedy buyers.

I have sent Jay an email and will make a "bid" on this car. Perhaps I can help EBAY catch him and throw him off the service.
