Hi, I have received your email regarding the 2004 Honda Accord with only 92,000 miles. The car is in perfect condition with clear title, no accidents, no liens or loans and it has just been completely serviced. The engine runs very good and the automatic transmission shifts perfectly. The price for the car is $1,500(including delivery and handling to your address).
I’m selling this car because my child of only 26 years died 2 months ago in a bike accident, the car belonged to my son and it brings me bad memories and that’s the reason I want to sell it.
Me and my husband travel a lot with our business and we want to make this deal through eBay’s Buyer Protection Program, so if you’re interested in purchasing the car just reply me your full name, full address and phone number, so I can notify eBay. Once that is done, they will contact you in the next 24 hours to explain the entire procedure.

Camper for sale scam

$
0
0

Glad I researched before I purchased. Camper was posted on ebay for sale. When I contacted her for more info, she told me she was an airline flight attendant for American Airlines and traveled a lot. Told me she got the camper in divorce settlement. Therefore, she would not be doing business in person. Ebay supposedly was holding the camper for shipment. Of course, I had to pay upfront but had 5 days after camper was delivered to request refund and ship camper back at her expense. Researched and found this is a common scam. She is using the name Evelin Thomas. Had 2 different email addresses. When I told her I didn’t feel comfortable with this type of transaction and needed to do some research, coincidentally the post was removed from Craigslist.
I HATE scammers and people who take advantage of others.

The following vehicle/seller on Cars4Sale.com is a scam.

https://www.carsforsale.com/vehicle/details/19862386

My little sister contacted them for more information and this person, Ashley, immediately gave a sob story about family health issues and how ebay would store the item and would still offer protection on the vehicle even though it was NOT being sold on ebay. This, of course, is 100% against ebay policy as seen here:

Hello,

My name is Melissa, and I’m emailing you about 2009 Ford F-150 Lariat 4X4. with an gas engine, automatic transmission and only 112k miles. Never had or need any paint/body work done, garaged keep always, without any mechanical problems, tires and wheels are in great shape as well, electric is working perfectly. The engine 8 Cylinder, 5.4 L, runs very good and the automatic transmission shifts perfectly. Has a clean and clear title in my name and there are no liens or loans on it. This truck was used by my husband who died 3 months ago. The price was reduced at $3000 because I’m in a hurry to find a buyer. I need to sell the truck before the 10th of the next month, when I will be leaving on military duty with my medical team out of the country for a year and do not want to store it. Hate to sell it but its not worth keeping insurance and paying storage fees for a year. Also, the truck is too big for my daughter so there’s no use on keeping it. If you interested, I can send you more pics.

Regards!
Melissa

Cathy Stewart Craigslist scammer using email ctystewart12@gmail.com

The unit has absolutely no mechanical problems, no leaks, it is in perfect condition. I’m selling it for $10,000, shipping included.
I am selling it because my husband died and I don’t need it anymore. He was the one who used it…
The unit is currently with the shipper in Cleveland, OH, ready to be delivered. I want to use the eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection Program and I will list it on eBay if my sale terms are accepted. This way we are both protected by eBay, who works as a third party.
If you are still interested I will explain the transaction.

Hi, my name is “Michelle Stevens”, and I am a scammer.
I post under the email mchlstvs@gmail.com.
I am too lazy to be creative, so you can find similar verbiage used in many of my scams.
Here’s a reply to one of my Craigslist scams. Note the dead husband/son/friend/lover/dog sob story:

Hello ,
The 2003 Harley Davidson Fat Boy is still available. It is in a good condition, no damages, it has never been involved in any kind of accidents, no problems at the engine, runs very well. It has an 1,450 cc Gasoline engine with 5,955 miles, a perfect bike. I’m selling it at this final price $2,000 because my husband died 2 months ago (he had a heart attack) and brings me bad memories and that’s the reason I want to sell it asap. I also got a new job and moved to another city, and many other things have priority now, so, this bike has to go. If you are interested in buying my bike, feel free to email me at any time.

Best regards!

Hi,
I really appreciate your interest in purchasing the motorhome and I would like to clarify some things 1st of all. The thing is I’m selling this motorhome because my husband passed away not long ago (he was very sick) and its brings me bad memories and that’s the reason why I want to sell it asap…I along with my daughter decided to sell the house and we moved to my parents in Topeka, Kansas trying to start a new life. The motorhome is already at the shipping company ready for delivery. The motorhome is there already because someone agreed to buy it, but in the end he never got the loan. For this reason, the shipping is already paid.I will use eBay in this transaction for our protection. If you are not aware of this program, you should know that it will allow you to test drive and inspect the motorhome before paying me. The inspection period will be set to 5 days and I think is enough for you to make a decision about the motorhome. If you won`t like my motorhome, you notify eBay and you send the motorhome back on my expense. But I assure you it won’t be the case.

If you want to continue the purchase, please reply with your full name, delivery address and phone number so I can start the transaction with eBay and ask them to contract with you and send you the terms of this transaction. ( with no further obligation or fees)

Hi,Thanks for replying. I’m selling it because I’m serving in Offutt AFB, Nebraska but I was promoted and transferred to Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage Alaska for a 3 years period, so I don’t need it anymore at this time. Let me give you a few details about it: 1974 Jeep CJ-5 with only 102k miles on it, no accident history, clear title, no dents or dings and no scratches. Always adult driven and garaged, never abused or raced. If you want it, it’s still available and the price is $3,000, so if you are ready email me back.

Hi again,

VIN: J4M835TA12503
Mileage: 102,184
Transmission: 4 Spd Manual
Engine: INLINE 6
Drivetrain: Four Wheel Drive

As I’ve told you, at this moment I am in Offutt AFB, NE in a military base. I do a special training program each day and I am not allowed to get out of the unit or call whenever I want. The reason I’m selling this car way below market value is because don’t have time for negotiations and I need money before July 30 for my next house in Anchorage. The car is already at our Offutt Air Force Base Library form Offutt AFB, NE crated and ready to go. Like I already said, 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 5 days testing period after delivery. During that 5 days 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 you want to buy it please provide me your details so i can start the case with eBay (full name, shipping address and phone number), so we can move forward with this transaction.

Please accept my apologize…As I told you I’m in military base and I don’t have phone access…We must communicate by email if is not a problem. Call eBay for more details .
