I just submitted it to IC3, RECOL and the Edmonton Police Service.
The whole incident has been documented from the start on my forum, along with full email transcripts:
http://phoenixphorum.com/new-saab-proba ... 10180.html

I found a Saab 9-5 Aero listed on CanadaTrader.com for $4400 CAD. I was pretty sure this was too good to be true, but I initiated contact with the seller to feel them out. They gave me a sob story about how their daughter was sick and in the hospital, and that they couldn't meet me in person. I was never given a phone number, address, or any contact information.

The car was apparently with a shipping company, who would ship it to me (at no cost... haha, yeah right), when I purchased it from "eBay". I was sure it was a scam at this point, but I continued to communicate with them in order to get more information.

I had them send me the VIN number of the vehicle, YS3EH55G053529951, which is owned by a company in New York:
Owner(s)
Company Name: FSL MEDIA INC.
Address: 300 PARK AVE S, NEW YORK NY 10010-5313
County: NEW YORK
Title Information

Title Issue Date: 9/6/2005

Lien Holder
Record Type: CURRENT
Company Name: SAAB FINANCIAL SERVICES CORP.
Address: PO BOX 7101, LITTLE ROCK AR 72223-7101
County: PULASKI


I then received emails from "eBay" -- [email protected], detailing how to pay. I was supposed to send a money gram to :
Luis Morales
4585 Beaconsfield Ave. Montreal QC H4A 2H8 Canada
SSN:526-115-614
Birth Date:21.Feb.1978

and then fax the receipt to 1-206-309-0970, which is an unlisted landline in Seattle.

The website, motors-customer-support.com, is registered to
Krijn Ivens
Provinciale baan 44
Buggenhout, Oost-Vlaanderen 9255
Belgium

The email headers contained X-Originating-IP: 205.188.116.131, which is an AOL IP from Virginia.

So we have four possible options... Seattle, Belgium, Montreal or Virginia. I must say they definitely have a diverse spectrum of sources.
