Ummm is cash OK?

If anyone actually falls for this one I'm going to have to say the dumbing down of America is complete:
---
My name is Philip Evans and I am glad you are interested in my 68 Camaro listed on Craigslist.
I want to let you know all the details of the transaction from the beginning
to make everything clear.
Since I'm very busy, travelling a lot in Croatia with business, I have chosen
and paid the eBay program to take care of all the proceedings ,so the
car are now in their inspection team possession in Zagreb,Croatia.
Since I paid all their fees, the total price is $ 5600 (including all the
shipping costs).The transaction will be backed by their program.

Please note that the car were listed on Craigslist and not on eBay! I am
just using the eBay protection program (offered by eBay only to some of
their best customers).

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS: The eBay team has inspected the car and all the
papers and they are ready to ship it (or allow an inspection) ONLY to the
person that makes the payment of the money ($ 5600) to them.
After eBay receives your payment confirmation, they will keep and secure it
until you receive the car and test it for 3 days. If you decide to keep
the car , eBay will send the money to me, if not they will send your
money back. But I assure you it won't be necessary ,as the car is in a
very good condition, runs great, have 93100 miles and no hidden
defects.
Since I want to finish this deal ASAP, I will require to the eBay team for
their fastest payment and shipping method so you can receive the car in 10
days at the most after you make the payment.
So, if you agree with this method, email me back with your full name and
shipping address and I will provide them to eBay ,in order to start the
process,and they will get back to you with more details.

Regards,
Philip Evans
