I can’t tell you how sick it is for someone to claim their husband and son died and use that as their reasoning for this scam that continues to go on! I just happened to decide to see if ‘her’ reasoning was legitimate enough by doing a little research online, and found this website with almost identical e-mail content. A lot of these posts are from 2012, and 2013. It’s 2015, how is this person still able to scam people?! Shouldn’t they be locked up by now? Here is the link for the original car I found:

The name they used was “Helen Turner”, and the e-mail you can currently contact them at is helen33turner@gmail.com. This is the e-mail I received when I contacted ‘them/he/she/it':

Hi,
The car 2005 Audi A4 Quattro Sedan 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 84,618 miles, for sale at $2500. 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. I also got a new job and moved to another city, and many other things have priority now, so, this car has to go.
Please read bellow all the information about the car: ( I got all the info from the owners manual )
Mileage: 84,618
Body Style: Sedan
Exterior Color: White
Interior Color: Black
Fuel: Gasoline
Engine: 4 Cylinder
Drivetrain: 4X4
I will wait your e-mail if you are still interested.
Thank you

Anyway, I really hope this can help someone. I hate that someone that’s been doing this for years is still at large and still doing it. I fell for the ad, but thankfully, looked it up online and found this website. I feel sorry for others that did go through with this scam and am shocked this person is still able to do this.
