Here is one of the 239 scams on eBay :-

%2B239%2BListings%2BHYUNDAI%2Bi30%2BWhite%2B2012%2BeBay%2Bscam.PNG)

And here is the same car on the LG Car Sales website - at a much higher price

The fraudsters have used current LG stock as well as what is presumably old LG stock to give the (convincing) impression that these really are cars being sold by LG Car Sales.
All of these 239 listings were posted at the same time :
Any email enquiry sent in via the internal mail system within eBay will be intercepted by the fraudsters - this is how contact is made
The fraudsters will then switch to an external email method (e.g. gmail) to continue communicating with potential victims, who will be offered free delivery but no opportunity to inspect the vehicle
This is a relatively new method and requires high volume to stand much chance of any success for the fraudsters, hence the exceptionally high number of vehicles (239) in this one scam
