same thing happened to us...we already gave him the money...wow, can't believe people sleep at night who do this...does anybody have any info on how to find him and get justice?

I just thought you would like to know:

Hello,

Right now I'm in the military base getting ready for Afghanistan. I will ship the car with DAS. I think I can have it at your address in 4-5 working days. I will take care of the shipping charges as I told you in my first email. It will come with a clear title and reg. I am a member of the eBay buyer protection program and using this service you will get a 3 days testing period after delivery. During that 3 days testing period I will not be getting any money. I need to know if you are interested so I can ask eBay to send you the details on this deal. If interested please include in your next email your contact info for eBay (name, address and phone number), so we can get the ball rolling.

Regards,
Andrew S

As I know that my current situation is pretty special I want the deal closed only through eBay's Buyer Protection Program in order for you to be 100% protected. You will make the payment to eBay and they will hold the money until you receive the car. ONLY AFTER you receive the car and you inspect it(for 10 days) eBay will release the payment to me; in this way we are both protected. Anyway i am sure that if you will don`t be satisfied about the car i will surely find another buyer in your area and there will be no need for you to ship the car back.
I am located in London,United Kingdom and I was sent here to improve the military relationships between USA and United Kingdom. One months ago, my wife moved here with me and brought the car with her, but now we have to sell it back in the United States because we can't register it here; it has US specs and everything, and registering it here in Europe will take for ever. My final price on it is US 2,900 $. If you will take it for this price, I am willing to handle the shipping. It will be shipped from here by plane with US Air Military Cargo so it will not cost me anything. You will get it to the nearest airport in your area and then it will be trucked forward to your place. You will receive the car in about 3 days. Please get back to me asap if you decide to buy, and include in your e-mail your full name and address where you want it shipped so I can start the deal with eBay. You will receive all the transaction payment and shipping details from them.

As i told you this is a door to door transaction and from the moment the car will be at your door you will be in contact with the one in charge for shipping. After the 10 days if you won`t be satisfied with the car he will take the car and you will be refunded by eBay. It will be shipped via US Military Cargo and it will take 3 days. It has clear title and you will receive it along with all papers needed for registration. All paper will be signed by me. Everything is taken care of, I forwarded your info to eBay and they should shortly contact you with all the transaction details. I will proceed with shipping immediately after eBay confirms me that you made the payment. You`ll have the chance to test-drive it soon. One more thing: please let me know when you hear from them cause I need to know if this is a done deal and also make sure you check all your mail folders.
Thank you for your time!

1. Buyer and seller agree on the transaction terms and a selling price. Seller contacts eBay with the transaction details;

3. The buyer sends payment to eBay Safe Harbor. After the payment is made , the buyer must notify eBay sending the payment details ONLY to our SafeHarbour Team.

4. Buyer receives the merchandise and has 10 (ten) days to inspect it. If it is as expected and as what agreed over, the buyer should accept the merchandise. If he refuses the merchandise by any valid reason actions for a refund will be taken .

That [***] is trying to scam someone $4,900 for a 2006 IS-350 Lexus..
He uses the same info just switches it around a lil bit. Hes still going by Sgt. Mikell Catt, USAF. Major red flags were " A Lexus for less than 5g's" him being in the UK and the inability to answer specific questions. My brother is in the USAF and I had him look him up in the database and there is no such person by that name. Hes using the email mikell84cat@gmail.com.....

WATCH OUT...this person claimed to be Shawn Oneill USAF SSgt using an email at oneill.d.shawn@gmail.com.  He got us to wire transfer thousands of dollars to a phoney ebay motors account through a supposed vehicle protection program.  The story is exactly the same as all of yours.  YOU ALL NEED TO FILE A REPORT WITH THE FBI.  Go to ic3.gov and file a report, if enough people file they will take action.  If you do not file he will continue to do this to people!

I know that this is probably an old comment but I just found a 2005 Nissan Maxima for 2900 dollars. My husband and I thought that this was way to good to be true! So I emailed this Guy, who says his name is Flood Goodson. It was almost the same exact email. Just different location and names. He is using the name Flood Goodson and his wifes name is Maria Goodson. He said that he is located in London, United Kingdom/ I cant believe this, and I am so gald that I ran across this site. Now I know that this is a scam, and will not purchase the vehicle. Thanks for posting this email up!

Oh my goodness!!! I recieved this exact email this morning. Thanks for posting you email. I mean its the same exact email!!!!!

I CANT BELEIVE THIS!!!! I knew it was to good to be true, especially when I looked up the blue book value and it was a $15000 car. I am so glad that I decided to look this up!
