They do this on Craigslist too.
Another give away is when the scammer states they will do it through "eBay escrow service". There is no such thing as eBay escrow service or ebay escrow. A service called escrow(dot)com is approved by eBay, and is the only one..but eBay does not offer any escrow service of their own.
Very savvy of you to pick up that this was a scam. You would be surprised how many people fall for this..and pay by western union. 100% of the time it is a scam and no vehicle is ever delivered, and the money is gone for good, without a trace.
If a vehicle was this good of a deal, there would be no reason to have to ship it anywhere, it would sell locally in a heartbeat.
