I sent your details to eBay,you will receive the invoice in a few minutes.I will wait for you to make the payment to eBay so the shipping company can begin the shipping process because the car is already in their custody.When you`ll receive the car you`ll have 5 days of inspection like i told you before and in case you won`t like it you can send it back on my cost and eBay will send all your money back.I will also send all the paperwork and a bill of sale which will be already signed and notarized onto your name.If you decide to keep it all your have to do is to sign the transfer papers and announce eBay to release the funds to me.
 
Hooray, I've bought the car of my dreams!!!
 
For anyone who might be wondering, this is what a fraudulent eBay invoice looks like. (The formatting didn't come out perfect, but it's mostly okay.)
 
Notice where I'm supposed to send the money!
