almost scammed !!!

just lost my bid to a 1980 sa22c rhd reg and us street legal. This was on ebay that i lost by 25.00usd no cpu to rebid. 3hrs later i get a second chance offer it asked me for my mailing addy and billing info so i could close the transaction and be the winner. I made reservations for my tow service to pick up the car which is 3 hrs away and emailed the seller he then replied with an email req pymnt via money gram. I'm skeptical on using it so I declined per my final offer I stated cash paid in full in person upon pick up within 7 days. So we email back and fourth 3 hrs later the same email from a different email acct with the same second chance offer in a different lay out. Its a good thing I didn't transfer moneygram not to mention the seller was supposedly local seattle, wa and was req the money to be sent to Las Vegas. I guess my rhd rx7 will be just another dream =(.

Make sure you report this to eBay. We don't want those scammers getting somebody else.
