On June 18 I contacted Russell Ayres via email concerning a car he had listed on Ebay. #4556991918 Mazda Miata
He replied with info concerning the car and asked for information to confirm I wanted the car. I responded with my address and telephone. He then replied that ebay would contact me with the payment arrangements.
The next day I recieved a very official looking email suggesting that if I sent the money to an agent in Chicago, Arnaldo J Jimenez, that they would hold the money till I recieved the car.
On Monday morning I recieved a phone call from a man calling himself Henry from Ebay wanting discuss the sale. He was very professional of course. He assured me that all was well and I should go ahead with the transaction.
On Tuesday I wired 4800.00 to Chicago via Western Union. Mtcn 8770860595. I then faxed a copy of the reciept to the fax # they provided. I have not heard from them since.
Again the names.
