2900$ Car scam, Craigslist & EBAY
So i went online today and there was a posting for a jeep 2004 in great condition with only 90k miles selling for 2900! Wow what a deal right !? I asked if it was a typo and here is what my seller is telling me....
Hello,
First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my car. I sell at this price($2900) because i just finished the divorce with my husband. When the divorce has finished I own this car. Now as a women i don't need it because it is a big car for me and I need money for other things. This car is in excellent working conditions, no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage, slightly used in 100% working and looking conditions and comes with a clear title.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 services. As I know that my current situation is pretty special I want the deal closed only through eBay's Buyer Protection Program in order for me and you to be 100% protected.The final price that I want for this car is $2900. If you will take it for this price, I am willing to handle the shipping.Please get back to me asap if you decide to buy, and include in your e-mail your full name and address where you want it shipped so I can start the deal with eBay. You will receive all the transaction payment and shipping details from them.
Best Regards,
Nadine..
sounds pretty good huh??
Then....
Hi again,

The car is already at the shipping company in Philadelphia, PA ,sealed and ready for the shipping. I have a contract with eBay so this deal must go through them.According with the eBay you have 5 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 will work:
1.First of all I will need the following details from you:
- Full Name
- Full Shipping Address
2. After I will receive the details from you, I will forward them to eBay.
3. After they will process your info, they will send us both invoices. The invoice will send you the details on how to make a refundable payment.
4. eBay will contact me and I will ship the car to you. After you receive the car you will have 5 days to test, verify and do whatever you need to the car. If you will buy, then I will receive the payment details from eBay so that I can pick up the money.
5. If you will decide that you will not buy the car, eBay will refund the money and I will have the shipping company come pick up my car.Please get back to me asap if you decide to buy, and include in your e-mail your full name and address where you want it shipped so I can start the deal with eBay. You will receive all the transaction payment and shipping details from them.
Best Regards,

Ok so be sure to find the major 3 elements in common....
1) outrageous price.
2) Gmail account for email address
3) requests ebay for payment
Good Luck
