2003 Nissan 350Z, Extremely Clean, 27k miles!! A/C! Good tires!Reduced – $1900
I responded to this ad on Craigslist and emailed the person at

brandiwoods47@gmail.com

I asked, why so cheap? They responded:
“We have a low price on our 2003 Nissan 350Z because we want to sell the car asap. The price is $1,900 including delivery to your home address. The car is in perfect condition, no electric problems, no accidents/liens/loans. The odometer shows 25,954 miles. Never been repainted. We have all the car manuals, title, documents and bill of sale on your name. We’re selling the car because our son died 4 months ago in a car accident. A drunk driver hit him. He was with his fiance’s car coming home. The car belonged to our son and it brings us bad memories and that’s the reason we want to sell it. The last price is $1,900. Me and my husband travel a lot with our business and we want to make this deal through eBay’s Buyer Protection Program. This runs and drives great and it has 3.5L V6 Engine, Automatic Transmission, Power Steering and Power Brakes.
If you need more photos or details feel free to ask.”

As well as sending me to a link of an anonymous users image site with stock photos. I goaded them for more information after already figuring this was a scam and received this email:

“Hi again the car is stored with all the paperwork in eBay warehouse number 28,in Des Moines, Iowa headquarters in container,sealed and ready for delivery. The transaction will be made thru eBay because they can protect both of us and they also offer 10 days inspection period. You’ll have 10 days to test/drive the car before decided to keep it or not. If the vehicle is not like I described you’ll ship it back on my expense and they will give you a full refund. eBay will hold the funds until you receive the car with all the papers work. Only after you confirm them that you wanna keep it they will release me the funds. In this way you will be able to inspect the vehicle before committing to buy it.

If you want to start the transaction with eBay reply me your full name, delivery address and your ph#no,then eBay will contact you with further instructions.

Thank you!”

I reported the email account to google as a sort of phishing scam but not sure what else I can do. They already removed their post from Craigslist. Nice touch with the dead son.

Hi again Chris,

I’ll do my best to walk you through the process.As I told you in my first email, I recently got divorced. I got a new job and moved to Omaha, NE.The motorhome is at the shipping company in Omaha, NE, sealed and ready for shipping. I have a contract with eBay so this deal must go through them.

According with ebay you have 5 days from the time you receive the motorhome to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not.

Here is how it will work:

First of all,I will forward them your info

They will process your info and send both of us invoices. On the invoice you will find all the instructions on how to complete the transaction.

Once the payment is completed the shipping process will be started( on my cost I repeat). After you receive the motorhome you will have 5 days to test and verify it.

If you decide to keep the vehicle, eBay will release the money to me and our transaction is complete.

If, by any reason, you won’t be satisfied with the motorhome ( even though I can assure you that it is exactly as described), you can return it at my expense for a full refund of your money, no questions asked.

If you agree, get back to me with your full name and shipping address and I will get everything started immediately.

All you will need to do is follow through with their guidelines. You will receive along with the vehicle all it’s papers, documents and manuals.

I have a few guys interested so I’ll need a prompt answer from you!

Thank you!

Diane P Roberts,

Yes, I’m selling this beautiful 2002 Honda Accord EX. It is immaculate for its age, non-smoker, meticulously maintained and hasn’t been involved in any accident. I do have the title, clear, under my name and I’m the first owner. Only 47K miles. The engine runs smooth, A/C and everything works great. See the photos below.

Price: $1000. The car is in storage in Omaha, at Offutt Air Force Base, and will be shipped for free anywhere in US.

You can buy it very easy and very safe from eBay. I will list it on eBay Motors with Buy It Now option and I’ll send you the link to the listing or the item number. You buy it directly from there, payment through PayPal, with the full benefit of eBay’s buyer protection. This way, everything is covered, you are guaranteed you get a car with no faults and a clean record and title. I am not interested in other arrangements, negotiations or trades.

eBay doesn’t pay the me until you receive the car and give me a positive feedback so there is absolutely no risk. They also refund you in 30 days if you find anything wrong with the car.

Please don’t ask me to list the car on eBay unless you are 100% sure you are buying it and you have the money ready.

If you click on ,,Accord PHOTOS,, below you’ll find a ton of photos, Autocheck report and a copy of the title:

The car at http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/644546973/overview/ is a scam. The “seller’s” name and email are Lisa Juarez . My interactions with “her” emulate the alert description at http://pages.ebay.com/motors/buy/purchase-protection/index.html

Right now i’m in a military base. We are training, getting ready for leaving the country. The delivery process will be managed by me. I think i can have it there at your home address within 2-3 working days. It will come with a clear title and reg. I am a member of the eBay Buyer Protection Program and using this service you will get a 7 days testing period after delivery. During that 7 days of testing period, i will not be getting any money. I need to know if you are interested so i can ask eBay to send you the details on this deal. If interested please include in your next email your contact info for eBay (complete name and delivery address including zip code, and a phone # where you can be reached) so we can get the ball rolling.

Thank you !

Watch out for this scammer: Kellymatt155@gmail.com. He sent me a check for $1,850, directing me to take my commission of $350 off the top, and wire the remainder to him through Western Union Service. I still have the check.

Is this a scam? Hi again,

The trailer is located in Montgomery, AL as I told in my first email but my brother-in-law will use his discount to help me with shipping. He own a business with sewing machines and he is using the shipping company from 3 years. We will use Amazon for this transaction so both of us will be protected and insured by them. If you are not aware of this program, you should know that it will allow you to test drive and inspect the trailer before paying me.

I just need your full name,full shipping address and phone number so I can open a case .(with no further obligation or fees). I think is more then fair that you pay $2,000 as shipping is my responsibility and you will receive the trailer in maximum 2 days.
The inspection period will be set to 5 days and I think is enough for you to make a decision about the trailer. I also want to inform you that I am entertaining another 2 offers for it at this moment so please let me know your decision as soon as possible to know what to do. One of them is waiting for a loan and will get in touch with me tomorrow if he can buy it or not and the other one have only $1,600 to buy it.

Thank you,
Elizabeth Brinda

The shipping is free because I supposed to ship it to another buyer, then he told me that he doesn’t have money anymore to pay for it. He already paid the shipping charges.The payment will be handled by eBay and they will keep the money on hold until the end of the testing period.This way we can both be protected and insured.You will receive it in 48 hours depending on your location and you will have the chance to inspect it for 5 days.During the inspection period you can test the vehicle or go with it at your local mechanic for inspection .The vehicle will be delivered directly to your address as soon as eBay will have the payment confirmation from you.

My husband has a few questions before we decide to finalize this transaction. Could you please give us the address and phone # for the eBay shipping company where the truck is located? Also, we would like the VIN # of the truck and your eBay account #. My husband was also wondering where the picture of your truck was taken.

Hi again ,
Just wanted to let you know that I just received a notification from eBay stating that they already sent you 2 invoices and now are waiting for you to complete and confirm the deposit with them. Please let me know if you have received 2 invoices and when you`ll be able to complete the deposit in order for me to know when to start the shipping process to your location. The truck will be delivered to your address in 2-4 days after the down payment of $2,500 is confirmed to eBay. If you have any other questions regarding this transaction please email me or eBay. Please check your junk/spam folder in case that the 2 invoices are not in your inbox.

Okay, we will go through with it. We just never have done really anything much with eBay. Also, we are trusting you that there will be no issue involved with us purchasing the truck from you (through eBay) in regards to your divorce situation. Sorry, I’m just a pessimist and I guess I watch too much TV and do not want some guy looking us up because we have their truck that their ex-wife sold to us! Please keep our name and number confidential between you and I guess eBay. Below is the shipping information.

I wish it would have been possible that way but due to my job and work schedule and I am not able to handle this in person and I have selected eBay to do it on my behalf so this deal must go through shipping and all stuff related to this type of sale. If you are concerned about the shipping fees you do not have to worry because after completing numerous transactions using eBay I have received a gift voucher and I plan on using it to save the shipping fees so that none of us would have to pay for shipping. If you are interested in moving forward I look forward to your email.

Okay, I talked with my husband and we want to go through with this. I will give you our information, but wanted to check first whether it would be possible for us to drive to Omaha and look at it instead of going through shipping? I know you said you already have a contract with eBay, but what if we would look at it there at the shipping company?

Please let me know as soon as possible if we could just look at it at the shipping company and handle the transaction that way. If that is not possible, I will give your our shipping information.

called phone number listed on classified ads in Minneapolis MN for a truck for sale. Seller asked for email and then stated vehicle was for sale through ebay motors vehicle plan….wants to ship to us. email was sent from lindagrenyer77@gmail.com. Same name given Linda Grenyer.

A woman named Linda Miller had a ad on craigslist for a 2004 Keystone Sprinter for $1,800.  In laws contacted her by e-mail and she sent them pictures of the camper.  Scan0001 Scan0002 Scan0003 Scan0004 Scan0005 Scan0006 Scan0007 Scan0008 Scan0009 Scan0010 Scan0011Scan0012

They were then told that she was selling it cheap because her husband died and it brought up to many memories.  She said she was going to be using Yahoo Finance to handle payment since there was a fall out with a previous possible buyer.  She then stated that my in laws would have to buy Greendot cards and to email pictures of them from Yahoo Finance once we got an invoice.  We received an invoice and it stated a Danielle Newman would be assisting us and we received and order number.Scan0020

We received another invoice said that payment was authenticated but would now need another $1,000 for insurance since the camper is worth more than they paid.

The email addresses we have for her are: millerlinda66@hotmail.com and becketdonna@gmail.com

So watch out for those emails and her name.
