Same/similar ad/scam was selling SS454 Chevelle last year...Someone ought to
call and say is that a mistake, did you mean 45K, get them over excited ..then
find them and put em [back] in prison
There is no service associated with Yahoo finance that lets people buy and sell
anything.
The price is probably 4500 so they can offer to save the car for you after you
make a small deposit (under an amount considered grand theft - 400?)...
Trace the IP address in the email, probably from other than US...

Has anyone else seen this scam in your local paper ? A '69 Z28 Camaro w/ 85K
mi. and a good pic advertised for $4500. Obviously under priced. I googled the
# and the add shows up in at least 6 or 8 papers from across the country.
Included is an email address that sends back a generic reply that goes as
follows;
I'm glad that you're interested in my car. The car is street legal and
accurate. It comes with all the documents needed for registration, it has a
clear title and it can be registered into your name at any time. I am willing
to sell it for $4500 .This buy now price does include the shipping and
insurance fees. I'm located in Portland, OR and the car is here as well and so
this is where the car will be shipped from. I've done some research and the
best and fastest way I can ship it is using Hemisphere cargo Shipping Ltd which
takes between 4 to 6 days to arrive at your door (door to door handling and
shipping insurance fee included). I am affiliated with Yahoo! Finance where I
have a purchase protection account for $ 10,000.00. This service allows us to
complete this transaction in a manner that is quick and safe for both of us. It
acts as a third party between seller and buyer to insure that both parties
comply to transaction requirements and provides
dispute resolution and mediation between parties. Yahoo! Finance is
responsible to insure that both parties comply to transaction requirements. If
this is ok with you please reply with your complete name, address and shipping
address in your next email and let me know if you are interested in knowing
more details about this purchase so that I can open a transaction case at
Yahoo! Finance and move forward with this deal.
Thank you, Dianna Carey
