Thanks so much for this anti-scam site. It saves so many a lot of money and trouble.

I saw an ad for 2003 Tacoma and asked for more Email. (this was before checking on the Amazon Protection Plan) The reply came promptly and included pictures. Everything sounded perfect, especially the 1500.00 price. Then I checked on the APP and saw all the scam info. Naturally that ended the deal.

From my own experience with this scam ad and all the ones I’ve read it seems so many scammers identify themselves as military members. As a military retiree I find this disgraceful. Believe me, any military member who pulls a scam like this and can be located, would be punished by the military. Of course, few of them probably are military but know this will be a plus to a buyer and will give a reason for the cheap price since they all say they’re going overseas. I did notice a lot of the scammers use the same wording in their ads, changing only the base and rank.

To anyone considering getting a “good deal” BEWARE and check out both the seller and the conditions ie, free delivery from another part of the country.

to me

Hello again Stefan,

Currently I’m stationed in our army base in Tucson AZ. I am working as a medic and we are doing a special training because I will be deployed back to Iraq on 5th. The vehicle is here with me but it can can be transported directly to your home address and you will have it for 7 days to see it’s condition and how it’s working before paying for it. The process is done through Amazon for both our safety so all I need to start the transaction is your full name, address and phone number so that Amazon can send you all the info. I need to get rid of the vehicle before our deployment because I need the funds to pay my house’s mortgage.

Waiting for your reply.

Regards,

Victoria

We found a 2008 F3 50 truck with all mean 89,000 miles on it on offer up. The writer said that her mother was selling it, and we received an email from Anna Morgan and see if she said she lived in Omaha Nebraska and her husband had died And she wanted to sell the truck that he had. When she sent the pictures of the truck it was unbelievable how perfect it was. That was the first red flag. We said that we wanted more proof and they sent back another email saying that they were Christians! And that week they would never do anything on illegal. They sent 25 photos of the beautiful try leather interior in perfect condition and only wanted $5000 The Kelley blue book value is 22k. Of course we wanted to believe that this was real but it just seemed unrealistic. Then we said OK well what do we do and they sent an email saying we will send you the truck with all the paperwork etc. etc. and all we had to do was send $5000 in money orders without anybody in the name and leave that part blank. Boy was that a red Hey:)
My 2008 Ford F-350 CrewCab 4×4. It is still available for sale if interested and the price, as stated in the ad, is $5,000.
The vehicle is in pristine condition, no accident history, clear title, no dents or dings and no scratches, only 89,659 miles, 6.4L Diesel. Always adult driven and garaged, never abused or raced.
I had to move out and now I am living with my parents in Omaha, Nebraska. I am selling it at this final price of $5,000 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 Offer UP services for the safety of both of us so if you’re interested in purchasing this vehicle just email me with your full name, address including the zip code and phone number, so I can notify Offer UP that you are selected as my possible buyer and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure.

Thank you,
Ana Morgan

I was sent an email per my requests for a ford truck being sold on offer up…. the person responded with a sad lost my husband story… I totally bought it till I noticed the story and listing didn’t go hand in hand. I don’t want to give the scammer info on how to tweak his or her scamming however when you state your a sergeant with the U.S Air Force…I would assume grammar is of importance to your reputation being you supposedly are a training sergeant. I was given or sent I should say, a statement with amazons logos on it… read closely into any request for money regardless of if the logo is familiar. Amazon is not going to allow their website to have grammatical error. Within the last 12 hours I’ve seen many similar listings all targeting females in my opinion. All sellers were listed female. Not to mention I had my son respond to one and him being male never received a message tugging at his heart strings about anyone dying. All I can say is to who ever posted the word for word email they received on eBay a few months back I truly thank you. Because without that email I would have never seen this coming.

Craigslist (Fresno, CA) listed with telephone number (559) 201-4254, to which I texted asking for info. I provided my email address and go this reply back:

Thank you for contacting me about my 2008 Keystone Outback 21RS LE. have for sale.
The Camper. is in great shape with clean title.It has no damage, no hidden defects. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn’t been involved in any accident…I do have the title, clear. I am selling it at this final price of $2,000 because my husband died 2 months ago (he had a heart attack) and it brings me bad memories and I, along with my two sons (2 and 4 years old) decided to sell the house and so we moved in Omaha NE, trying to start a new life.
If you’re interested in buying i will wait for your reply THROUGH E MAIL !!!!!!
P.s. Also, you have the pics attached.Length (feet):21. Slide Outs:1 Sleeping Capacity:8
Have a blessed day!

The listing had 24 images of the trailer. (Which I later found to be taken off someone’s vacation photos on his Facebook page!)
A second email from this person linked to an eBay auction.
It reads:
The camper is located in Omaha, NE 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 eBay 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 camper 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 camper . 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 $1,500 to buy it.

I have the camper listed on ebay so you can use the buy it now option. I think is more than fair that you pay $2,000 as shipping is my responsibility and you will receive the camper in maximum 2-3 days. Here is the link to my listing on ebay: http://ebay-motors.itm142151123545.stonaep.linkin.tw/itm/2008-Keystone-Outback-21RS-LE-/item5d693af428/142151123545.html

I am looking forward to get things started.
God bless you and your family,
Angela

That auction payment required the purchase of One Vanilla gift (VISA) cards. Also provided a number to verify with eBay motors that this was a legit auction and that eBay protection was in place. (Answered by a male voice who mumbled “ebay motors”… uh..no!
I have since found identical ads in RV sales sites and more craigslist sites.

Reading from the bottom correspondence to the top, what appeared to be a really great deal on a concession trailer could have been a huge disaster financially. I like to look twice before jumping and your site and the posts (the wording is like they all took a seminar on committing fraud!) were very helpful. Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for being interested in purchasing my 2006 Concession Food Trailer that I have for sale. Let me give you a few details about it. The trailer is in good condition, 30 gallon Fresh water tank, 40 gallon grey water tank. Really good shape, never had any problems with it, everything is loaded and ready to use. Non smoker Trailer with no paint work. I am selling it for $2,000. Because of my husband passed away not long ago (he was very sick) and this Trailer 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 Fort Lewis, WA, trying to start a new life. I gave the Trailer to eBay shipping company in Fort Lewis, WA who will deliver it to the next owner. The transaction will be made through eBay Payments for our own safety. The best part about this is You are granted a 5 day trial period for inspection and test drive prior to making the purchase and also if for any reason you are not satisfied with the Trailer you can have it shipped back at no expense for you of inspection and shipping for free. If you are ready to buy it and you have the cash available, please reply with your zip code and phone number. I need to verify if I have free shipping in your area.

Hi,

We have a low price on our 2007 Honda Civic because we want to sell the car asap. The price is $1500 including delivery to your home address. The car is in perfect condition, no electric problems, no accidents/liens/loans. The odometer shows 95,500 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 $1500. 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 1.8L i4 Engine , Automatic Transmission, Power Steering and Power Brakes.
If you need more details feel free to ask.

Here are some pictures with the car:http://www.use.com/JljYv

Hi again,
The vehicle is located at eBay Motors storage in Farmington MO,in the container,sealed and ready for shipping.Like i told,I travel a lot and I prepared the sale thru eBay Motors Buyer Protection.All you will have to pay for the vehicle is only my price $1500 no other fees(delivery is already prepared and paid by me).The vehicle will come with all the necessary papers notarized to pass at your name (clear title, bill of sale, user’s manual, insurance etc) and will take no more than 2-3 days.
You will have 5 days for inspection.During all this time eBay Motors will keep safe the money into a trust account.So, this is not a blind transaction,you can see the vehicle before decide to buy it.If you are satisfied with the vehicle and decide to keep it you inform eBay Motors about this and they will release the money to me.If the vehicle is not as advertised and decide not to keep it eBay Motors will refund you the money, no questions asked, and shipping back the vehicle will be my concern. But I don’t think that this will be necessary because the vehicle is like in the pictures and how I described it, i assure that you will love this vehicle.
Thank you for the info Keone ,i will contact eBay Motors and i will proceed the deal.You will receive a notification from them with all the steps you need to follow to complete the deal. E-mail me when you will receive the notification from eBay Motors.

Thank you.

Hi,
First of all I want to thank you for your interest in my car:2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Full Options .This car is in excellent working conditions,NO accidents, slightly used in 100% working and looking conditions,ONLY 115,822 Miles, is always garaged and rarely used and it has clear title ready to be transferred to the new owner.The final price that I want for this car is $3,000(including shipping and handling).I sell the car at this price because I cannot enjoy it due to my job(I work as a Doctor on a cruise ship) and I’m a single woman and I have nobody close who can use it.This car was used by my ex husband who died six month ago. From the beginning you have to know that for the payment I request ONLY secure pay, I prefer the payment to be done using eBay Motors Shipping Company services so both us can be protected. To support my argument regarding the condition of the car, I’ve added a brief photo-presentation.Please visi t the following link for more details: http://jpegbay.com/gallery/005821776-.html#1
I will wait your answer(if you are interested to buy) very soon!
Thank you and have a great day!

Hi again,
The total price for you with shipping included is $3.000(you don’t have to pay any taxes or duties).The car is located at eBay Motors Shipping Company in (Nashville,TN) with all the documents ready to be shipped to the new owner.As I said in the first email I work as a Doctor on a cruise ship and I can’t meet you or bring you the car, so that’s why I am using a shipping company.Since this is an online transaction I wanted the both of us to be safe so for this deal I am using eBay Motors Shipping Company,and that means that you have 7 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 works:
1. First of all I will need the following details from you:
– Full Name
– Full Shipping Address
– Phone Number
2. After I will receive the details from you,i will forward them to eBay Motors Shipping Company
3. After they will process your info, they will send us both invoices.You will need to confirm a safe deposit to eBay Motors Company and the funds will be 100% insured by eBay Motors Company
4. eBay Motors Company will contact me and the shipping process will be started. After you receive the car, you will have 7 days to test,drive, verify and do whatever you need to the car.If you will buy it, then I will receive the payment from eBay Motors Company. Please take into consideration that I will get paid only after you receive the car, and make sure everything is as agreed.
5. If you will decide that you will not buy it, eBay Motors Company will refund you and I will have the shipping company come pick up my car
If you wish to make the transaction,and you have the money cash, please send me the necessary info so that we can proceed.

Sorry for delay,my name is Diane,happy to see you are interested in my 2004 Toyota Rav4 .Let me give you a few details about it. Really good shape, never had any problems with it, no scratches or dents, Non-smoker,84k Mileage, automatic transmission,6 Cylinder V6 FWD, the title is clear in my name.
The price was reduced at $1,500.Photos available if you want.
I’m selling it so low due the fact that my medical team will deploy back over sea on December 14th for 1 year contract and its not worth keeping insurance and paying storage fees for 1 year so there’s no use on 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. Diane Howard

….Second email:

Hi again ,

I will do my best to walk you through the process. The deal is handled by eBay. I’m working with eBay and it is the best option for me. The car is in their possession in Carson City, Nevada , ready to be delivered. We placed the ad on several states to find a buyer now, not next week or later.The car will be arrive at your address in 2 to 3 days. It will come with all the necessary paperwork (clear title, bill of sale, user’s manual etc). You will receive all the original documents. Title is clean, insurance and shipping are included in the price. You will have 5 days to try out and if the car is not like described, you can ask for refund and I will pay the shipping back but I know what I’m selling.

If you are ready to buy it, please give me your full name, a full shipping address and phone # so I can register the transaction with eBay and they will contact you with more details and information about this transaction.

Thank you , Sgt. Diane Howard from Nevada Army National Guard

…. after asking to speak with her over the phone I get this:

I have briefly described the eBay transaction steps below:
1. Buyer, seller reach an agreement (price and delivery conditions)
2. Buyer sends money to eBay.
3. eBay confirms to seller that the amount has been received.
4. Seller performs the required services (shipping, insurance).
5. Buyer accepts delivery and informs eBay about the acceptance.
6. eBay releases the money to seller.
As you can see, you will receive the car BEFORE any money is released to me. You will get the chance to inspect it, test drive it and everything you like while your money is still safely held in eBay’s account. ONLY after you confirm to eBay that you agree with the vehicle, they will release the money to me.
If, for some reason, you disagree with the car (I assure you that is NOT going to happen since my car is in IMMACULATE condition inside and out) it will be shipped back to me on MY EXPENSE and eBay will send you your money back.
If you wish to proceed further, I will need your complete name and address so I can start the transaction with eBay’s Vehicle Purchase Protection Program.

….I asked a second time to speak with her, and no response.

Martha Anderson trying to sell a 2006 Dodge Ram for 2,000 through the Ebay buyer protection program and i called eBay and they said it was not legitiment. in her emails she was saying the same things i have seen on this website. SHE IS A SCAM!!!!!!!

Here is a LetGo.com car sale Scam!

The first email contact after sending an email to her gmail accout asking her for the vin # just to see what would happen. So far, I received and replied as shown below. The first email is the Last one.
A True Scam if I ever saw one.
Hope this helps!

Good morning,

Here you have the vin# JNKBV61F58M273406. Well, I talked to my Commanding Officer and he said he can help me out with the delivery. He made a few arrangements with the guys from the loading squadron and he also checked the flights schedule that leaves the base. There are 3 flights on which I can load the car. So it’s going to be one on tomorrow at 10 p.m another one on Saturday there is another one that leaves the base on Monday. I’ll make the arrangements tomorrow morning and I’ll keep you updated if you are interested in buying the car.

We can use Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) as a supervisor for the transaction. Basically they will monitor the entire process. They will secure the payment and they will also supervise the shipping process and of course they will make sure we are both on the same page. The main idea is that Exchange Service provided by the Air Force is a reliable and act as a neutral third party in this transaction. They will be like a judge and also make sure we will end this deal without delays and safely.

If you wish to proceed just shoot me an email with your name (for the bill of sale and the agreement) and a delivery address, a phone # where you can be reached and I will initiate the deal through the Exchange Service (this info I request will also ease and speed up all the paperwork) such as Title.

Thank you,

Hello Kristen,

Before I go any farther with any type of inspection, I need you to email me the Vehical Identification Number.
If you can’t provide me with this information, I will have to refuse going farther with this transaction.

Hope you understand my concerns.

Wayne

Hello,

I am quite busy with work and I barely had the chance to go online as I serve for the Air Force. However, I still got the car and we can schedule for an inspection by having the Infiniti delivered at your nearest Air Force Base or parking lot using the USAF Air Cargo. I can explain you everything step by step but let me know what do you think about the car. Automatic transmission, clean title, is in great shape considering his age, I am asking $2000 on it and as I said we can arrange for an inspection, I am familiar with online sales so we will have to use a service from a business-specialized company.
Here you have more pictures with the car: http://imgur.com/a/ik0bk

Please if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask. I will be more than glad to answer them to the best of my ability. Have full confidence in purchasing this 2008 Infiniti G35x. This car will serve you well.

I will be waiting for your response before I commit to anyone else.

Thank you,
Staff Sgt. Kristen Bonack
