Here is another low profile collector car scam on eBay Motors. 1936 LaSalle coupe. It looks like the same car that we captured back in December 2009.
Scammers are now trying to maintain a low profile to stay in business on eBay Motors. They list a car like this one with a single photo, and start the bidding low. They hope you will contact them and request more photos and information about the car. If the bids get too high the scammers simply cancel them.
The whole idea of this low profile scam is to try and fly under eBay's radar. If you swallow their bait hook line and sinker, they will be sending you fake eBay vehicle protection program emails that look like they came from eBay - but they are sent by the scammers! eBay VPP does not cover off site scams like this one! So Don't Feed The Scammers!

Any bets on whether it comes back? (or how many times) I've seen a few of them come back so many times it's not funny. Also remember when you would see things like 100 identical 1959 Corvettes all listed for 100 bucks each?

I'm sure it probably has been back already. I don't have the time to look.
It's a whole new game now. No more screaming BUY ME and multiple listing of the same car.
The scam cars are there but the scammers are being very low key about them. It's simple to act like some idiot that has a perfect car, but only has one photo and lack of description. Keep the bids low and the suckers will email for more info.. Then BAM right into the trap they go!
