E Bay Scam?

A buddy of mine actually fell for one of these. He sent the money to a gal out in Montana I think it was for a Jeep. It was like a ridiculous low price and the gal said she needed to move it and would even pay for shipping it for whomever bought it.

He still fell for it. He was telling me about it the next day and I told him he just got scammed out of 2500 bucks. Sure enough, a couple days later he admitted it. He did get his money back thanks to Ebay, but it took a while.
