1998 eclipse Scam

Here are the emails i received from scamer.

My name is Carolina Soba, I am emailing you regarding the 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GS-T that I have for sale. The car is in perfect condition, with no need for additional repairs, no scratches, dings, special marks whatsoever, never been involved in any accidents. The interior looks great (NO SMOKING). Sat most of it’s life in the garage has 70,970 miles ,manual transmission , 4 cylinder, 2,0 Liter Turbo, gasoline, black interior and blue exterior. I have a clear and clean title for it, no liens or loans ready to be signed and notarized on your name.I’m selling my son’s car, who died in Iraq three months ago and I want to get rid of it asap because the sight of it makes me think of him often and often and the pain is too great. Put yourself in my shoes and you’ll do the same (selling the car of your dead son, no offense) !!!
As you probably noticed, the final price that I want is $2,850.00 if you will buy it today or tomorrow.
Here are the pictures with the car (the pics are a bit old but they are the only ones I have)

Thank you! Hello again,

Right now I`m in San Jose, CA (the car is here with me) because I got a new job here. We will use eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection, so we can both be protected and insured. I just need your full name, full address and phone number so eBay can send you the invoice in which you’ll see how to make this transaction. I supposed to ship the car to another buyer, then he told me that he found another vehicle so is no longer interested. He already paid the shipping charges. The shipping is free I will take care of it and I will send you the car for inspection along with all the documents( the title, owner’s manual, 2 sets of keys, service records, and of course the bill of sale notarized and signed by me). You will get a 5 days testing period after delivery. During that 5 days testing period I will not be getting any money. I am just waiting your full name, full address(street, city, state, zip) and phone number to complete the shipping papers and start the delivery process.Thank you,

It had me going with the first email, real convincing She even put a photobuket link to see more pictures of the car. Then I got the 2nd email and googled the ebay thing that she talks about and found this site. Before finding this i emailed that i was going to look into ebay and asked the current miles and she sent the second email again. Maybe trying to keep me from finding this site.  Thanks for makeing such a site to help stop these people.
