I sent an email to a "too good to be true" add on Oodle for an ATV. Here are copies of the emails I recieved back. When I said I would like to buy A) in person B) from an eBay listing or C) using Escrow.com all of the email responses stopped abruptly. Scary to get the exact same email as the PWC person. I did not give this person any info outside of my Email address...

Hi, I'm selling it under the market's value because i need liquidity ASAP in order to finish the house i'm building. Here are some pictures of the atv. The price will be $2500 with shipping included. It is in excellent condition as you can see in the pictures. It has been regularly maintained. It runs like brand new with no issues. Clear title. I'm an Air Force Msgt and i have the atv here with me. I can deliver it to your shipping address (i will pay for the shipping and insurance fees) and i will agree to let you test and inspect it for 5 days just to be sure.in this 5 days you will test the conditions of the atv. If something won't be like you expected to be you can return it without any expense. It will come with all the paper work. The deal will go through eBay Motors Protection Program.in this way both of us will have the required assurance that the deal will take place well. A refund policy will be included. If you agree with these terms please reply me with your full name, shipping address and phone# so that i can forward them to eBay. They will send you a complete list with instructions. I`m waiting for your reply as soon as possible. Thanks
I replyed asking if the machine was avaliable for inspection.

Hi, Yes, It is a fuel injected machine whit reverse gear. I'll explain how eBay protection works: Shipping If we make this transaction through eBay, in the moment you will receive the ATV you will have 5 days to inspect and test It, you will receive the title of the ATV and other documents. Payment You will receive from eBay a notification with payment and shipping details, you will have to wire the payment to a eBay agent, the agent will not release the funds until they will be sure you will take the ATV.in case you don't want the ATV, they will refund your payment back and my ATV to me. So if you agree I'll need your shipping details, to proceed to the next step. Thanks
I again replyed to ask about the location of the machine, and a telephone contact number.

Hi, I m located in Maineville, OH, yes you can come and inspect it but the transaction will go through eBay Motors Protection Program, because i've a signed contract with them. Thanks
I again asked to contact the seller, and where the vehicle was located. No response. After that I searched Google and found the first Elizabeth Parker report regarding the PWC.
Something's not right about this one...
