Argo for sale on BuySell.com in Canada

Here’s the email we got in response to a posting that was on BuySell.com but this time it’s in Canada. Sounds suspiciously the same….

To complete our transaction I propose eBay Motors Vehicle Protection Program.

How it works:
1. You’ll send to eBay Motors VPP the payment.
2. They will secure your money and contact me to start the shipping.
3. I will start the shipping and I will email you the tracking number in the same day.
4. You will receive the argo and you’ll have 15 days to inspect it before take any decision.
5. If you like it you must contact eBay to send me the money. Or if you are not satisfied, just ask eBay for full refund. And the shipping company will pick up the argo from you.
Important: You need to know that you can ask for full refund anytime for any reason. Also if you don’t want it after inspection, no need to pay the ship back fees.
If you agree just send an email with YOUR COMPLETE NAME, SHIPPING ADDRESS AND A PHONE NUMBER .
Thank You

Our response:
According to my research the eBay Motors VPP payment only applies to sales made through eBay

I looked for your listing on eBay and didn’t find it. Could you please send me the link and so we could get started on this purchase. If this legitimate then I will buy this.

To this email “Linda’s” response was:
the argo was listed on ebay and protection is active. you will receive on invoice regarding how this is going to be.
thanks

We still haven’t received this invoice. Gee I wonder why?

We recently found another Argo for sale in Edmonton, the guy is in London after a divorce and refused a cash in hand offer for his full asking price! We said we would even pick it up and he said NO!!!!!! He has a contract through Ebay! Huh!!!

Anyways, for all our fellow Canadians and sportsman out there…it’s not just about cars, not only on Craig’sList, and not just in the USA. Be warned!!!
