I intended to purchase a used car and received the following emails in response to my inquiry about a particular car (clearly a scam because I received the exact same email in response to another inquiry I made….literally the exact same email):

Hi again,

Thank you very much…The car is stored with all the paperwork at shipping company,in Montgomery, Alabama headquarters in container,sealed and ready for delivery.I chose to deal with eBay because we are traveling frequently and the time needed to handle this appropriately is limited. As my husband (A pilot for American Airline) and I travel for work. 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, (bill of sale, invoice, title transfer papers)

Hi Wendy,
Thanks for the quick reply and I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your son.

Where are you located? I am out of town at the moment, but I can have someone come and look at it and handle the purchase for me. What types of payment options do you accept?

Hi,

We have a low price on our 2004 Acura TL because we want to sell the car asap. The price is $1,700 including delivery to your home address. The car is in perfect condition, no electric problems, no accidents/liens/loans. The odometer shows 112000 miles. Never been repainted. We have all the car manuals, title, documents. 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 $1,700. 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 3.2L V6 engine , Automatic Transmission, Cruise Control, Power Locks, Power Windows and much more.

I intended to purchase a used car and inquired with many sellers. I received the exact same email from multiple sellers, obviously a scam. I posted the other sellers responses in a different post so that all their information would be posted. Below is one of the emails:

This scammer’s name is apparently Martha Pollard selling a 2006 Dodge Charger,

Thanks for replying to my ad. 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: 2006 Dodge Charger SRT-8 with only 38,406 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 are interested, it’s still available for sale and the price, as stated in the ad, is $2,000.00, so if you have the money ready to buy it email me back.

Some details of the car:
Vehicle title – Clean
Mileage – 38,406
Transmission – Automatic
Fuel type – Gasoline
Hi again,

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 August 25 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 1-2 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 10 days testing period after delivery. During that 10 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 interested please include in your next email your contact info for eBay (full name, shipping address and phone number), so we can move forward with this transaction.

Thank you!!

So I found a Craigslist ad for a Jeep Cherokee and I inquired about it thru their phone number. They asked for my email to send info and pics so I did. Here is the conversation back and forth.
Hello there,

My 1999 Jeep Cherokee Classic, is still for sale.This SUV is in great shape. I’m the original owner. It has no damage, no scratches, dents or hidden defects. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn’t been involved in any accident…Has only 77,785 miles, its automatic, with an 4.0L 6 cylinders engine,4×4, red exterior and gray interior.
I have a clear title, without liens or loans on it, under my name. I am selling it at this final price of $1,500 because my husband died 1 month ago (he had a heart attack) and it brings me bad memories and that’s the reason I want to sell it a.s.a.p. I want to use eBay services for the safety of both of us so if you’re interested in purchasing this vehicle, I can notify eBay that you are selected as my possible buyer and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure.

Thank you,

My brother and I responded with this:
Hi Allison,

Thank you for your email regarding some additional info on your Jeep and my condolences regarding your husband. We are very interested, but would need to see and test drive it before committing to purchase. We also may have some additional questions, but we want 1st crack at it. We are available sometime Saturday or Sunday to come see it and would be happy to purchase at that time. You mentioned wanting to use Ebay, but what was your plan on how to do that? Do you have the Jeep listed there? For test driving and seeing it, my suggestion would be to meet at a Police station parking lot to see the it and drive it as that’s where I prefer to meet clients when I sell on Craigslist. Where is this Jeep located? We are in Bristol. We would like you to kindly hold this until we can make an appointment with you to see it and then we will probably buy it right then and there. For quicker communication my cell is xxx xxx xxxx and my name is Jeremy. You may text or call me or my sister Jessica to set something up. If all goes well, we’d like to own this by Sunday at the latest.

Thank you for your time Allison,

And here’s her response:

Hi again,
Thank you for your kind words and support, I appreciate as I have been through a difficult period in my life after my husband passed away.As I have told you in previous email my husband died recently. I had to move out and now I am living with my parents in Omaha, Nebraska. At the moment they are the only ones I can rely on. The vehicle is at the shipping company sealed and ready for the shipping. The deal includes free delivery and it will arrive at your address in 2-4 days. Once you will get the vehicle you will have 5 days to try it out prior to making any purchase. In the case that you feel that the vehicle is not suitable,you can just return it all fees being on my expense. When receiving it you will have as well all the documents including title, sale bill , 2 sets of keys, full service records and more. The title and the bill of sale will be notarized and signed by me. If you are interested in knowing more info about how it works, I can ask eBay to send you an email with more information on how to purchase it. Please reply with your whole name, a delivery address including (street, city,state, zip code) and ph# and they will contact you right away. As soon as I hear that from you I will initiate the transaction through them.
Have a great day,
Sincerely,
Allison Estrada,

My brother responded with this:

Hi Allison,

You must have an Ebay listing specifying exactly how this works? I’ve been doing Ebay transactions for 10 years and have never heard of such a method. Please have Ebay email me with some additional details or provide me your Ebay name and listing number. We are very interested in doing this deal, but I can’t see with shipping costs and Ebay fees how you are going to make much profit selling this Jeep. I would only do this transaction providing what you say is in an Ebay listing we can see on their site. I’m sure you can appreciate my hesitation.

And my brother also sent this:

Hello,

Something doesn’t add up here. Unless you can provide me an Ebay listing I think we’ll pass. When a listing expires all you need to do is hit the relist button. I’d be happy to view the details of the transaction there.

Thanks,

And then she wouldn’t give us a listing and kept emailing back with these responses. The last one will be our last message back to her:

And yes Jeremy , I have had the Jeep listed for sale on eBay as well but the ad has expired there a couple of days ago and you cannot find it online anymore but if you need further info on how this works I will need your full name full address and phone # to send them over to their representatives and register you to this sale.Then they will process our request and will send us more details on how this entire process will be handled and what we have to do to complete it.As for the shipping fees I am using a gift voucher for shipping and none of us would have to pay for shipping a penny.

Jessica or Jeremy,
I don`t know is that you can`t add up but I don`t want to pay again for a service that I already own just because you want to.If you wish to purchase my Jeep I have provided you a way to do it , if you don`t want it you can just say no.
sincerely,
Allison

Hi Allison,

Since you haven’t provided any info we have asked for we will pass at this time.

Thanks,

Please take a few moments and read my email carefully, I know it’s quite long, but I think it’s important that you understand everything before you commit to purchase.
The vehicle is at Google’s shipping center in Oklahoma City, OK and from there it will be shipped to my buyer’s address. I have registered the vehicle with Google Wallet Protection Program so a local pick-up is not an option.This transaction is covered by Google Wallet’s purchase protection program up to $20,000 and if something goes wrong in this transaction you will be fully refunded. In the invoice you will have the details on how to make a refundable payment and shipping back the vehicle will be my concern. I strongly assure you it will not be the case for a refund. I have used Google Wallet in the past and all my transactions ended successfully. You pay to Google Wallet and they will transfer the funds to me only after you receive the vehicle at your address.
The financial part of our transaction is going through Google Wallet and here are the steps:
– I need your full name, shipping address and phone#;
– I will forward this information to Google Wallet purchase protection department and they will start our transaction;
– Google Wallet sends you the invoice with payment details for our transaction;
– after they secure the payment, they will notify me and I will start shipping. Shipping will take no more than 5 days (2 days to prepare the shipping and 3 days for the shipping depending on your location).
– after you receive the vehicle you will have another 5 days to inspect it.
– when the inspection period ends, Google Wallet contacts you and if there are any issues with the vehicle, they will fully refund you within 3 business days and the vehicle will be shipped back at my expense. If all is good with the vehicle which I’m sure it will be, they will assist you with the title transfer and release the payment to me.
I apologize if it seems like I’m pushing on this deal but I really want to be sure that everything is clarified before any further steps. I’m a serious seller and I prefer to deal with a serious buyer.
If you agree with these terms, please send me your full name, shipping address and phone numbers (both cell number and home number), in order to start the transaction! Google Wallet will send you important guidelines and instructions regarding the protection program and payment instructions.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.

P.S.: Here you have more picture attached.

Saw an AD in craiglist for a car sale. I texted the person and then she told me to send her an email. She then sent me some pictures of the car with this following email:Thanks for asking, my 2010 Honda CRV EX-L is still for sale. is automatic, FWD, 2row seats, and great shape, the maintenance done on proper time intervals (my mechanic look over it before i post the ad). also has 68,555K miles, clear title, 2.4L I4 engine! I’m selling it because my boy of only 25 died 3 months ago in a car accident, a drunk driver hit him and his fiancee. He was with fiancee’s car, coming to our home at his little brother birthday. The car belonged to my son and brings me bad memories, that’s the reason i sell it so low ($2,000).
Me and my husband travel a lot with our job so we decide to make the deal thru’ eBay Protection Program because they protect both of us and also offer you 5 days inspection period. All documents, title and bill of sale on your name will come along with the car (we had another deal with eBay and everything went smoothly)

More pics: http://www.use.com/ImE8U

If you are interested let me know, Sarah
THEN: she sent me this after asking her when it was possible to go see the car:

Hi again ,the car is located at eBay warehouse in Saint Louis, MO. It’s already sealed and waiting to be delivered anywhere (i will pay the shipping so all you have to pay is just $2,000). Like i said, we will use eBay Protection Program so we can both be protected and insured. the car will arrive at your address in 3 days and you will have 5 days to inspect it. Once you inspected it and decided to keep it, you will confirm your decision to eBay and only then eBay will re-route the money in to my account. But, if by any reason, you won’t be satisfied you will ship it back on my expense and they will give you a full refund. In this way you will be able to inspect the vehicle before committing to buy and as you see I WON’T GET ANY MONEY UNTIL YOU WILL SEE AND TEST THE CAR!
If you want to start the transaction with eBay just reply here your full name and delivery address then eBay will contact you by e-mail with an invoice and explain better the whole process…thanks!

P.S. please let me know if you want to know more about the steps of transactio.

I replied to the text and stupidly sent them an email before realizing this made no sense. Why would they text me and ask me to email them when they could have emailed me from Craigslist. I searched for the number and email address and found it attached to MANY scams, from Craigslist job listings, to replying to classified listings for other items, etc. I have since updated all my security and blocked them.

Hi again, as I’ve told you, at this moment I am in Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage, AK 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 I don’t have time for negotiations and I need money before August 30 for my next house in Anchorage. Before leaving I had pre-arranged the deal with eBay so my presence is not necessary. They can protects both buyer and seller and it’s the right way to do this. The car is in their possession at eBay storage warehouse in Richmond, VA, crated and ready to be delivered. eBay will handle this transaction and the total amount that you will pay is $2,000 (NO hidden or shipping fees). After the payment is confirmed and secured by eBay I will start the shipping. You will receive the car at your home address within 2-3 working days. It will come with a clear title and reg. I am a member of eBay buyer protection program and using this service you will get a 5 days testing period after delivery and then I will get the payment. SO…ONLY AFTER you receive the car and agree to keep it, eBay will release the payment to me, in this way we are both protected. If by any reason you find something you don’t like about it you can send it back on my expense but I’m sure it won’t be the case because my car is in excellent condition. It will come with all the necessary paperwork (clear title, bill of sale, user’s auto. etc). You will receive all the original documents. I signed all the paperwork and the clear title is ready to be transferred to the new owner.
I need to know if you are still interested, so I can ask eBay to send you the details on this deal. If you are interested, please include in the next email your contact information for eBay (full name, shipping address and phone number), so we can move forward with this transaction.

Hello,

Thank you for being interested in buying my 2007 Acura MDX SH-AWD, it has only 94,000 miles, extremely well maintained with a full service history, no problems, no damages or hidden defects and never been involved in accidents. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly and the 3.7L engine runs great. The title is legally under my name, clear and free of any liens or loans. The car is located where I worked before at McConnell AFB, Kansas, but i was promoted and transferred to Hickam AFB, Hawaii for a 3 years period. I’m selling it because i don’t have time to drive it and I don’t want to let it ruin in my garage. I’m sorry, but I just want to sell it as soon as possible and I don’t have any preferences to whom. The shipping will be free and in 2-3 days the car will be in front of your door.
As I’m unable to travel in the near future I decided to make this transaction through eBay at a lower price. I believe this protects us both and it’s the right way to do it. The final price is $2,000.00 which include delivery to your home address. If you decide to buy this car send me your Full Name and Shipping Address, so I can inform eBay that I have a buyer! I will forward your details to them and then you will receive an invoice (with no further obligations or fees). Then you will be able to talk with them directly and ask all you want to know. Hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks,

Five easy steps to complete your eBay Motors transactions:

Buyer and seller agree to terms: Both parties agree to terms of the transaction, which includes a description of the item, sale price and number of days for the buyer’s inspection.

Buyer deposit payment to eBay: The Buyer submits a payment, our agency verifies the payment. Processing time for payments is 12 hours.

eBay sends item to Buyer: Upon payment verification we start the shipping and submit tracking information. eBay verifies that the Buyer receives the item.

Buyer receives item: The Buyer has 5 days to verify the item and the option to accept or reject. Return shipping will be at the Seller’s expense.

The Seller is Paid by eBay: The transaction is complete. If the Buyer is not satisfied, he must notify our agency with the item issues, after the inspection period. A solution to most problems can usually be negotiated between the Buyer and Seller. If this is not possible, the buyer will receive the money from our trust account. In case the Buyer refuse to continue the transaction with the Seller from other reasons, our agency will return the funds to the Buyer in maximum 12 hours depending by his location and also the available payment method.
For your purchase you have to buy exactly the same cards as the draft exposed:

How to make the payment?
Payment must be submitted via iTunes – Gift Cards and can be purchased with cash, credit card or debit card at thousands of stores nationwide. First, you purchase a iTunes – Gift Card from a participating retailer. Load cash is onto the pack at checkout. Then you can pay for your Online Shopping on eBay Motors.

iTunes – Gift Cards is an easy and convenient way to send money to where you need it. Through Apple iTunes – Gift Cards Card services we can guarantee you 100% protection and insurance in this transaction. eBay Motors will secure the payment until the buyer receive, inspects and accepts the item. Or, if it will be the case, eBay Motors will refund the payment to the buyer.

You can add only up to $500.00 into iTunes – Gift Card. For your purchase you need to buy 3 iTunes – Gift Cards of $500.00 each

NOTE! In order to avoid any mistakes when buying the iTunes – Gift Cards, you will need to purchase the reloadable version that is available at these stores nationwide:

Once you bought the iTunes – Gift Cards and loaded the debit, confirm your payment by email with the following information:

– iTunes – Gift Card -16 DIGIT NUMBER (scratch-off the portion covering the code).
– Pictures with the back of the iTunes Gift Cards where we can see the PIN Numbers (color pictures & readable, clear).

The funds will not be released under any circumstances. We will hold the payment until you will send us the confirmation that you have received, inspected and you agree to keep the vehicle. When we will have your confirmation we will transfer the funds to your Seller.

For your purchase you have to buy exactly the same cards as the draft exposed:

Why should I use the iTunes – Gift Cards as opposed to other same day money transmitter services?There are many reasons:

Using iTunes – Gift Cards as method of payment you can’t lose your money,practically the buyer make the proof that he has the money and is a serious buyer by providing only the Scratchable codes.

The money will still be in his pocket as vouchers and he can use them anyway he want.

The iTunes – Gift Cards must be handover only after the item is received and tested.

iTunes – Gift Cards can be purchased at locations where you shop for your daily needs

There are no special customer service counters and no forms to fill out
Protection and Refund:
http://i.imgur.com/XOwUf.gif Once the Motor Vehicle is delivered, the Buyer has a 5 (five) days inspection period. After the inspection period is over, the Buyer will contact eBay with the results of the inspection. If, for any reason, the Motor Vehicle does not pass the Buyer’s inspection, it will be eBay returned to, on the eBay’s expense and the funds will be returned to the Buyer.

http://i.imgur.com/XOwUf.gif For safety reasons the payment details will be dealt with the utmost security and will not be handed to any third parties. eBay will be in full control of the funds as soon as it reaches the regional account. Once the funds have been sent to our regional account, no one but the Buyer will have access to it.
http://i.imgur.com/XOwUf.gif eBay will release the funds to the Seller only after the Buyer receives and agrees with the Motor Vehicle. Should the Buyer need a refund for this transaction the amount received will be sent back via bank transfer, check or money order. The account is managed and eBay supervised by Financial Department.

Hi Mike,
Sorry for the delay, my name is Wilma, happy to see you are interested in my 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71. Let me give you a few details about it. Really good shape, never had any problems with it, no scratches or dents, Non-smoker,88kMileage, 2 wheel drive, Automatic, 8 Cylinder, VIN: 1gnec13t66r125332, the title is clear in my name.
Photos available here:http://www.ebayphotogallery.com/zdjecia/2006-chevrolet-tahoe-z71/7343734/1
The price was reduced at $2,000. I’m selling it so low due to the fact that my medical team will deploy back to Afghanistan on August 28th for 1 year contract and it’s not worth keeping insurance and paying storage fees for 1 year, so there’s no use in keeping it, therefore I need a fast and reliable buyer. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Sincerely,
Senior Medic Sgt. Wilma Smith

Always adult driven and garaged, never abused or raced. If you are interested, it’s still available for sale and the price, as stated in the ad, is $2,100.00, so if you have the money ready to buy it email me back.

to me
Hello again,

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 truck way below market value is because don’t have time for negotiations and I need money before August 30 for my next house in Anchorage. The truck 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 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 interested please include in your next email your contact info for eBay (full name, shipping address and phone number), so we can move forward with this transaction.

Thank you!!

Hi again, the car is stored with all the paperwork in eBay warehouse, in Knoxville, TN headquarters in container, sealed and ready for delivery. Like i told you Me and my husband travel a lot with our business and I prepared the sale with eBay.

The transaction will be made thru eBay, all you have to pay for my car is $1500(delivery is already prepared and paid by me). You will have 5 days for inspection. During all this time eBay will keep safe the money into a trust account. So, this is not a blind transaction,you can see the car before decide to buy it. If you are satisfied with the car and decide to keep it you inform eBay about this and they will release the money to me. If the car is not as advertised and decide not to keep it eBay will refund you the money, no questions asked, and shipping back the car will be my concern. But I don’t think that this will be necessary because the car is like in the pictures and how I described it.You will receive the car with all the necessary papers notarized to pass at your name (clear title, bill of sale, user’s manual, insurance etc).

If you want to start the transaction with eBay just reply me with your full name,full delivery address and your phone number and I will get everything started as soon as possible(with no further obligation or fees),then eBay will contact you with further instructions.
Thank you

Subject: Re: hyundai Santa fe – $1500

Hi ,

I have received your email regarding the 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS with only 83,890 miles. The suv is in perfect condition with clear title, no accidents, no liens or loans and it has just been completely servi ced. 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 runs very good and the automatic transmission shifts perfectly. The price for the suv is $1,500(including delivery and handling to your address).
I’m selling this suv 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, 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.

If you are interested let me know and I’ll send you more pictures with suv

Details:
Mileage:83,890
Engine: 2.7L V6
Transmission:Automatic
Title: Clear
Drive Type: FWD

God Bless you and your family!

Example message:
(Began emailing after I sent a text for a Craigslist listing. They said they posted the ad for their aunt and gave me an email address. I use a special email account for CL listings.)

“I’ll do my best to walk you through the process. After my divorce I got a new job and moved to Jackson, MS. The car is at the shipping company in Jackson, MS, 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 car 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 car 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 car ( 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 need a prompt answer from you!
Thank you!”

I provided the name of our police chief and the police station address. I hope they get the invoice, but not sure anything will happen from it.
