The following is part of my correspondence with a scam artist on Ebay. He
was supposedly selling a TR250 in good condition for a "Buy it Now" price of
$4,500.
We all really need to be careful.
The vehicle is currently located in Boxford but unfortunately I am in Tucson
AZ, planning to open a business here and I don't think I can come sooner
then next month. So if you are interested in purchasing this triumph from me
please let me know your full name and your ebay user id and I will make all
the necessary arrangements with ebay motors.
Thank you

1. I don't have more pictures available at this time.
2. The paint is original.
3. I have the car from my father since 1990.
4. OD.
5. The car is in great condition inside, outside and mechanically. No
problems.
6. I will sell it for such a low price because I lost my wife 4 months ago
and I need money very fast to pay a bank loan.
7. yes the buy it now price is $4,800.

Lee,
I assume the scammer also did something similar to the "Ask Seller a
Question" button, seeing as Oliver got a response from him. I also asked a
question but I never got any response.

I took a look at this and see that it's *REALLY* scary. Ebay may have
already removed this, but I grabbed the page and took a careful look. I made
some screen shots and have put an analysis of the scam here. Take a look:
