Warning about white 997 Turbo listing fraud

I had helped my uncle sell his car in the past, and it has sold to an out of country buyer. The price is suspiciously low, and he copied my exact verbiage and pictures.. so dont waste any time calling on it.
.
DO NOT BUY this car.

RUN!!!! Obviously its way below market value. I thought I saw this car on ebay a few weeks back and it sold for around 100k, but I'm not sure.

saw this on autotrader too, emailed the guy, never got a response.

I def knew it was fraud, and just wanted to see what his response would be. If he was going to ask for money or some scam like that, I was going to suggest seeing the car then, then I would see what he would say.
