[DML] Suspicious eBay offer

[toscano2@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

re: the "too good to be true" auction I wrote about yesterday...the seller has finally sent me something more than a one-word answer. This thing just gets weirder and weirder...anyone know if this is indeed the same car being offered within the last month or so by a scammer? Obviously I no longer plan to purchase this, I just find it interesting:

Hello,
First, I want you to know that I live in USA,but for the moment I'm in 
England.Two mounths ago my cousin died in a tragic car accident.
My cousin family need money urgently and thatsware i sell this car so 
cheap,becouse i want to help they.
 The car is in excelent condition .It has a title clear wich you will 
recive along with the car and two rows of keys.
The buy it now price is 3500$ and I want a deposit in the same day when 
you will receive the car.
Regarding the payment method i would like to use Square Trade like a 3rd
party for the deposit.Square Trade is a affiliated company of eBay.They (as
you can see on ebay site map) develop the program Safe Harbour -Fraud
Protection.I am a seal member and that's mean I am backed up for all my 
auctions on ebay.I pay them fees for that!
The car is in US and it is allready to Square Trade,they inspected and tested the car to
see if the description on eBay matches with the real condition.
Look how they work:
1.I will contact them , and I will send your shipping information.
2.They will send us mail forms (the forms will be from customer support
team) for you about payment deposit.
3.Those forms must be filled by every part of this deal(me and you)
with infos that they required.
4.We must submit the forms.
5.After you will inspect the car,Square Trade will send me the
payment infos and I shall pick up the money.
This means a 3rd party.
If you want to go on with this deal , mail me asap and I will require
those forms right now also I need your complete name and address.
After all that will be done,the car will be shipped from Square Trade,and
will arrive to your place in max. 10 days.
You will receive a tracking # in the same day that the car will be 
shipped.
I forgot to tell you that the shipping is free if you pay the amount that i
asked.
Best Regards!
