Craigs List Scam http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/ctd/4041495123.html
Hi again Nahan,
The reason for this reasonable price is that right now I’m in the army base, stationed at FSH w/ DCDD, San Antonio. We are training, getting ready for Afghanistan and I am only allowed to check my email . This means that I am doing a special training and I am not allowed to get out of the unit. The car is already sealed and ready for the shipping here in the base. They will help me deliver the car to buyers address. They will put the car to one of their military trailers which will head your area and they will deliver the car to your address. That’s why there are no shipping fees. For this transaction I decided to use Amazon Motors as a third party to handle the transaction for me because I don’t have time to handle it personally . My presence won’t be necessary because I prearranged the deal with Amazon Motors. The deal includes free delivery and it will arrive at your address in 3 days. You will have 5 days to test it and inspect the car prior to decide if you want to complete the purchase and if by any reason you find something you don’t like about it you can send it back at my expense and Amazon Motors will totally refund you. Along with the car you will receive all necessary papers to register it into your name including the free clear title which is already back signed by me and notarized for the transfer .

If you are interested in knowing more info about how it works, i can ask Amazon Motos to send you an email with more information on how to purchase it. Amazon Motors will contact you shortly after they have the details with all the information that you need to complete this deal and you will also have proof that I am covered by them and a legitimate seller. If you would like to receive the email from Amazon will all the transaction information please reply with your full name, and address plus ph# and they will contact you right away. Receiving the invoice from Amazon Motors places you under no obligation to purchase the car if you don’t like their terms but they will explain you the entire process better.

1980 Jeep CJ CUSTOM ROCK CRAWLER

Okay, I was dupped, stupidly I let it happen, unfortunately I let need override self control. I seriously needed some cash, was pretty broke, my daughter needed formula and her birthday is coming up and I wanted to do something for her, so out of desperation I sold my wedding dress, or at least thought of did, and like a dummy I fed into the bs of a scammer, got their check, deposited it in my bank, wired the remaining balance to the address they provided and so here I sit tonight 2000 dollars in the hole, can’t feed my daughter and nothing for her 1st birthday.

All thanks to Kevin Robert Fechter Sr of Modesto Ca, his cell number 2094306514. Hell, he is the one who provided his name, address, and the wonderful negative balance on my bank account. Makes me sick, even sicker I overlooked common sense because of desperation, and now I can’t afford to pay bills or feed her later.

Never, and I mean never take a check for any reason when selling something online, always meet in person and have them pay in cash.

Hi,

My name is Annette R. Walsh and I’m emailing you regarding the 2002 Ford F150 Lariat SuperCrew 4×4 that I have for sale. It is in perfect condition, with no need for any additional repairs. Flawless exterior condition, no scratches and no dents. It has never been involved in an accident. The interior is in very good condition, also the exterior. No accidents, clear title, great mileage: 82,226 and automatic transmission. I’m selling the truck because my 22′s years old son died 3 months ago in a car accident. A drunk driver hit him and his fiancé. They were with her car on their way to his little brother’s birthday. It was his car and it brings me bad memories and that’s the reason I want to sell it as soon as possible. The price that I’m asking is $2,100
Just let me know if you are interested and where are you located.

Thank You,
Annette

I am new to this blogging site because I do not know what to do. My sister gave me a gift $1500 to purchase a vehicle so I can help my elderly mother to & from her doctor appointments. I came across this ad on orange county, california craiglist about a 2000 toyota camry for $1800. The lady’s email was on the picture. My mom & I liked the vehicle & I emailed Ms. Olivia Capirlse & she sent me this message back;

Hi,

Thank you so much for your interest! The car is still available. Has 127,195 miles, automatic transmission, one owner. It’s in perfect condition, no engine/electric problems, no accidents/liens/loans. No scratches, never been repainted, no rips/tears/stains, never smoked in. I have all manuals, 2 spare of keys, title, service records. I’m selling the car because my child of only 24, died 4 months ago in an accident, a drunk driver hit him and his fiancee. He was with his fiance’s car coming to our home at his little brother birthday of 10 years old. This 2000 Toyota Camry LE was his car, I want to get rid of it ASAP because it brings bad memories. The price is $1,000.
We need to work together to make this deal happen because I am traveling due to my job and I need to take a few days off to return and manage the sale. The car is located in Indianapolis, IN and my first option is to place an eBay (buy it now) auction and benefit of the eBay purchase protection program, and so we can leave feedback on each other. I’ll take care of the shipping so don’t worry.

Hope to hear soon from you!
Olivia Capirlse
PS: Here you have a few more pictures with the car!

We thought it was a great deal, I was being cautious & took the necessary steps, except the story got my heart & I didn’t bother to question it because I didn’t want to insult her. Anyways, Olivia proceeded to send me a private link to the vehicle on ebay motors to where only I can view & purchase the vehicle. The account was under I suspect rc_dirtslinger on ebay motors. I wired the $1000, western union, to an ebay motor rep randomly selected by ebay named george wood. Everything was going great, i was happy, excited, she kept in contact with me even telling me she got the email of the receipt & the late last night, the confirmation from an ebay person for the green light to ship the camry. This message was at 1:30am, she emails me this;

“I finished the papers for shipping, the car is already at the warehouse ready to be delivered, you don`t have to be worried because I will start the shipping tomorrow morning.”

Thanks,
Olivia

Last email; “Have a great night to, I apologize for the delayed response.”

Thanks,
Olivia

I got no tracking number or time of the cars arrival. All she told me was on thursday I will have the car. Hell, the bitch didn’t even tell me the car was shipped out on saturday morning!! Then saturday night, last night, I came across several ads online, same name, same car, one is from carsified.com, http://www.carsified.com/2000-toyota-camry-black-windsor-12044-private.html. Mileage is not 126,991, it’s listed as 204,656, Windsor Ontario, not Indianapolis Indiana! Then I found a few more ads, two from miami & one in jersey, same car, same lady & same 126,991 mileage. I’m confused. I will wait until thursday or friday & if I did get scammed, which all points to it, I made up my mind & I’m taking my own life. I just don’t know what to say to my sister, my mom feels bad for talking me into, it’s nobody’s fault, but Olivia’s. Judgement day is either 19th or the 20th, so that car better arrive & that’s it. Gonna pound down my first bottle of whiskey & go from there, goodbye world! Hate to make this decision, but I feel like I failed them. One & only chance to get a car & I get screwed. I did everything right, but question the story, man i’m stupid. Learn from my mistakes so let this be my last words in this life. Thank you all for letting me share this.

Hi,

First, a few words about this 2003 GMC Yukon Denali:
There is no previous collision damage to this SUV.This is a garage kept SUV.The engine is mechanically sound and can be driven anywhere with confidence.The exterior is extra clean. Extra clean interior (see pictures). Absolutely no rips, odors or abuse, I don’t smoke.It has 122,00 miles with a 6.0L V8 engine, Automatic transmission, Gasoline.
I am looking to obtain $1,826.00.

If you decide to buy it, you’ll receive all the papers, owner manual, keys and a buy-sell contract already signed by me. I have a low price because I want to sell the Yukon very quickly. My husband died 2 months ago and I along with my daughter decided to sell the house and we moved to my sister in Savannah, GA. Unfortunately I can’t conclude this transaction personally because my work involves a lot of traveling but I left everything prepared for the sale. Also I’ve uploaded some pics of the Yukon.

If you are really interested in purchasing the SUV please contact me asap.

I replied to an ad I found on the Cincinnati, OH Craigslist. The email I received from “Jennifer Butler” is below:

Hi, I’ve received your email regarding the 2006 Honda Accord with 93 000 miles on it, Sport Edition, Automatic, Gasoline, Engine: 3.0L MPI . The car is still for sale and my asking price is $1980. It is a 2006 model loaded with everything.You have here the VIN # to see that everything is like I said : 1HGCM668X6A028765 The car is very well maintained and it has just been completely serviced. The engine runs very good and the automatic transmission shifts perfectly.The car is in perfect condition with clear title, no accidents, no liens or loans. I’m an oceanographer and I’m on sea at this moment, so I left the car in Elkins,WV at the shipping company, it’s already packed and waiting to be shipped anywhere.

Let me know if you are still interested.

Regards,
Jennifer Butler

The price on Craiglist was $1984 which seemed odd to me when I first emailed her. Notice the price changes in the email. The email I replied to was jennifer.bu28@gmail.com but this came from jennifer.bu27@gmail.com

2008 John Deere 2520 Compact Tractor SCAM

This was in the Richmond, Virginia Craigslist. The two emails I received are as follows:

FIRST EMAIL: The car is in perfect shape, never been smoked in, without scratches nor dents, and it has never been involved in any kind of accidents. I legally own, free of any liens or loans,under my name. It has 166,000 miles, for sale at $1877. I’m selling the car because I lost my husband and my child of only 19 years, with 2 months ago in a car accident. A drunk truck driver hit them. They were in my husband’s car and they didn’t had a chance. This was my child’s car and brings me a lot of memories that make me suffer and this is the reason for what I want to sell it as soon as possible. If you have any other questions, or need more info, please free to ask.

SECOND EMAIL: As I told you in my first email, I recently lost my son and my husband. Currently I am located in Philadelphia, PA at my parents because they are the only persons that I have in my life at this moment. I’m very busy with my job and I’m left out of the town so I can’t meet in person with you so this is the reason why I chose to sell my car over the internet. I’m currently, signed up for a protection program offered by eBay and I would like to close the deal through them. If you are not aware of this program you should know that it will allow you to test drive and inspect the car before paying me. You will have a 5-day inspection period to decide whether you want to keep the car or not before they release the funds to me. eBay is safe. If you agree with eBay’s terms and conditions I need the following details from you: full name, address, and phone# and I will initiate the transaction. eBay will contact you shortly after they have the details with all the information that you need to complete this deal. Sorry for the long emails I have tried to touch all bases.
