I received a scam email via autotrader.com. The email headers are not useful because the message is relayed through AutoTrader. Unfortunately, the IP address of the "buyer" is not provided by AutoTrader.

Here is the initial message from the scammer. It contains the usual red flags (grammar, punctuation, etc), plus the text is the same as was used by Mic Conne here: http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewto ... =6&t=22041. The scammer is using the name Joe.
