<me> Hello my name is _______. I have recently come across your ad on Craigslist for the 2003 Honda. I have some questions about the car, If you could email me back that would be great!
<her>
Thank you for contacting me about my 2003 Honda Accord. The car is in great shape with 89,899k mileage, it’s automatic with V6. I’m the first owner, it was never been involved in accidents and has clear title.
I am selling it for $1,500 because my husband died 1 month ago (he had a heart attack) and brings me bad memories. Along with my daughter we decided to sell the house and moved to my brother in Washington, trying to start a new life.
I want to use eBay services, 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.
Thanks!
<me> Oh wow! I am sorry to hear that. It would be my first car, if all goes well. Here is my information: (I KNOW..BIG MISTAKE!)
<her> Hi again the car is stored with all the paperwork in eBay warehouse number 29,in Lynnwood, WA headquarters in container,sealed and ready for delivery. 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.
Thank you for the info..i will contact eBay 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
Thank you,Lara

<still her> (after I did not reply) Tatyana have you received the invoice from eBay? Please check your bulk/junk/spam.
<her> (another email..seems desperate!)
Hi there..
I got no reply from you… can you tell me what is happening?
I will wait your response….
Did you received my last email?
Best Regards,
<me> Hi Lara.
I received your last email, however, I do not think I will purchase this item. I do not think that you are honest with me about this car. As a result, I am not interested any longer. Thank you for your time.
<me> (I felt like the last response was too nice) Hi again Lara, (or whatever your name is)

Beware people! Never pay someone money over the internet.
I am very disappointed about this situation. Please do not take this as me being rude, however, if you are going to try and scam someone at least use a different story line. Many people have been tricked by you. Changing your email, name or whatever is not going to change the fact that you are a scammer. http://www.fightthescams.com/2014/09/05/thanks-for-the-heads-up/ have a good one! Be a little smarter next time. I will be contacting the authorities to report this issue.
