Ebay auto scammer

A friend sent this. I'll try to get headers later. Thought I'd better throw it up now so it can be known. I haven't seen this name before.

Hello and sorry for my delay,
The 2005 Honda Accord LX 4 Cylinder Engine, Automatic Transmission. What a nice Honda! This Accord has Low Miles, Only 31,314 Original Miles. Is in perfect working condition.This detailed vehicle makes the exterior look like it just came off the assembly line. It was never involved in any accident, not even minor ones. The body and paint are great. The interior is super clean, mechanically, it runs like a cat on carpet.
VIN Number: 1HGCM56455A104401
Year: 2005 Fuel Type: Gasoline
Standard Equipment:
CD Player Driver Airbag Passenger Airbag Air Conditioning
Cruise Control Power Locks Power Windows
Here are the pics of the car :

So if you decide on buying the car, I want the deal closed only through eBay. You will make the payment to eBay and they will hold the money until you receive the car. ONLY AFTER you receive the car and you inspect it, eBay will release the payment to me, in this way we are both protected. I signed up for US military forces and I was sent here with my department to improve the military relations between our country and UK. I am located in London,United Kingdom.1 months ago, my wife moved here, with me and brought the car with her, but now we have to sell it back in the United States, because we can't drive it here because we can't register it here; it has US specs and everything, and registering it here in Europe will take for ever. My final price on it is US 2,800 $. If you will take it for this price, I am willing to handle the shipping .It will be shipped from here by plane with US Air Military Cargo so it will not cost me anything. You will get it to the nearest airport in your area and then it will be trucked forward to your place.From the moment the payment is secured by eBay the shipping process will begin and it will arrive at your address in about 3 max. 4 working days. Please get back to me ASAP if you decide to buy, and include in your e-mail your full name and address where you want it shipped so I can start the deal with eBay. You will receive all the transaction payment and shipping details from them.

Thank you and have a great day,
George Turner

Welcome to Scamwarners, and thanks for posting that.
A quick check on the wording shows very many similar examples.
See here.
Ebay has no such payment system, and you would get an email purporting to come from them. asking for payment.
We look forward to the scammer's email address and headers when you get them.

Looks like a nice little fake site there.
Since they are impersonating ebay, I would recommend forwarding that email to [email protected], as eBay's security department will want to take the domain down.

Just in case they don't, we will have our site killers take a look at it too.
