Hi,
This is Marina, I am glad you are one of the people interested in buying my 2004 Jeep Wrangler LJ Unlimited. Let me give you a few details about it: very good shape, no mechanical issues, no scratches or dents, easy on maintenance costs, extremely reliable and it has never been involved in any kind of accidents. Has only 89,547 miles, its automatic, with an 6 Cyl 4.0L engine, 4WD, olive exterior/black interior. I have a clear title, free of any liens or loans on it, under my name. Because of my divorce settlement, I own it and as a woman I won’t need it so I’m trying to get rid of it as soon as possible, that’s why the price was reduced at $2,500.

If you are interested in buying it or if you have any questions, please reply to this email.

Sincerely,
Marina

Hi again,
I am very glad to hear back from you. I’m a flight attendant at American Airlines and because I’m away most of the time I will not be able to deal in person. Before leaving I had pre-arranged the deal with eBay Buyer Protection program so my presence is not necessary. The car is located in Omaha,NE in eBay`s custody at their shipping company in a cargo container, ready to be delivered to its hopefully future new owner. With eBay, you get free delivery and it will arrive at your address in 2 to 3 days. In addition, you will have 5 days to try out prior to making any purchase and if by any reason you find something you don’t like about it you can send it back at my expense. I want to make it very clear, that eBay will hold your money, and I won’t be receiving a single dollar unless you call and tell them to release the money to me.
If you are ready to buy it, please reply with your whole name, address and phone # so I can notify eBay that you are selected as my buyer, and they will contact you right away.

Thanks, hope to do business with you soon!
Marina

This is excellent news! You will see these guys are great! So I will have eBay to send you the invoice, and you will receive it by e-mail, all the instructions and details about your safety and about the sale altogether. After you receive the invoice, you will have to pay through eBay, as they will hold, protect and guarantee your money until you get the car. You will try it out for 5 days, and if at the end you are happy with it, you can give them the “green” to release the money to me. Or if not, you can just send it back and get a refund, without paying for the shipping.
They also have their toll free number on the invoice, so for any additional questions, feel free to ring them.
Thank you,
Marina

How are things going on? I wanted to ask if you got the invoice and took a look at it. I already prepared everything for the shipping and as soon as I get eBay`s confirmation that you made the payment the shipping process will begin right away and in 3 days the car will be at your door.
Let me know if there is something else that I can do from my end.
Thank you,
Marina

PS: Please check also your spam folder, the invoice may have ended there because of the ever increasing filters of the e-mails nowadays.

Here are the emails the “sender,” sent me throughout the week while I thought that this was a legitimate sale.

The attached files are of the fake invoice I received from the “sender,” making it look like there was an actual order. The selected parts in red are grammar errors, and evidence of recurring frauds shown on this website. Also, I never confirmed nor completed a transaction to eBay, and I got an email from eBay “directly,” thanking me for using their services.
