Thank you for your interest in buying my car. Let me tell you a few words about the car.It's a 1999 Chevrolet Corvette Targa,in perfect condition, with no need for additional repairs, no scratches, dings, special marks whatsoever, never been involved in any accidents. The interior looks great (NO SMOKING). It has 96,000 miles. It has a clear title ready to be signed and notarized on your name.The price is not negotiable $4,400.00 USD is my last price.I sell the car at this price because I cannot enjoy it due to my job(I work as a dealer on a cruise ship) and I'm a single woman and I have nobody close who can use it. All documents, including owner's manual, clear title and a bill of sale on your name will be provided along with the car.Also about payment and shipping(which is free of charge for you) I will use only eBay vehicle protection program so we can both be protected.I am affiliated at eBay and I have a purchase protection account for $20.000

I will take in consideration only those buyers who are really interested in buying the car, to be sure that I don't waste my time with endless discussions. This way, I shall be assured of the serious intentions. So if you are interested please e-mail me back for more details about the transaction.

Thank you!

Have a good laugh on me. glassman74

 

Ask her what cruise line she works for so you can verify her employment to confirm she is not a scammer.....heh......make 'em squirm.

I had one of these kooks going back and forth for a few days. It was fun. Told them I put $7K into Western Union for them and she apparently went down to the WU office twice and couldn't find the money. LOL !!! Got some pissed off.......must have cost her bus fare. Told me she needed a phone number for me so E-Bay could call me......well, as you know E-Bay would never do that......so I gave them the local police department's phone number and never heard from them again. GOOGLE is great.........found out that my scammer was from North London in the UK.

 

 

I saw something like that on the Bay area CS, but with a camaro. It was a female as well saying that she was a single mother and would only take payment through ebay. The post was exactly like this, but with a Camaro.

 

I see these adds more that I wish... I usually reply by indicating, I have forwarded your email to the FBI, CIA, Homeland, and Intropol.... Muddy

 

Most of those come out of Afreaka...

 

Hey!!! Where is the part about sending the money via Western Union to a London UK account?

 

True storey. My brother inlaw called me last week. He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. He says he bought a $7,000 snowmobile on Craigslist for $3200. So the way it worked is he replied to a Craiglist ad. Then was sent an email like yours. Which he replied to. He then got what looked like an official Ebay invoice with directions to wire Money Via Western Union to a guy in in England. He was on his way to the bank to get the money. I asked him why do you think its legit? He said because they said if he didn't like the machine he could return it with in a week. They were going to deliver it to his house.Almost for got the price also included delivery....500 miles.It was an Anderson as well. I looke the name up and his guy was charged back in 2005 for an Ebay scam. He made off with about $300,000

You have to be carful with the Craigist and Kijiji listing. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

 

One of my client's sons is in business school at university........I hope he passes.......2 years ago he sent $2K to someone in Nigeria via WU for 20 of the Apple I-Phones..........doooouuuhhhh !! He was going to make his fortune reselling them for $500 each to fellow students.

Sent his dad to this site when I heard about it. Check out the "Trophy Room" section and make sure you don't have any food or drink in your mouth when you do.........it's a selection of pics that the "scambaiters" have asked the scammers to send them to prove that they are for real.

Warning....

Some of Craigslist scam ads are not here to take your money per say, They just want a valid Email address, that is why alot of the ads only have email contact, they sell the list of good email addresses to companies whop send out spam.

That is why some emails you send never get a reply.... Just saying if it is too good to be true, than why bother even sending them an email...

 

There is no question that you are being scammed. My brother was shopping for a Bobcat Skid Steer a few weeks ago, and the seller's stories are too similar to be coincidental.

He tried to talk the FBI into doing a 'sting operation' but he doubts they would do that for such a small amount ... $7000.

 

I still remember the chick at Snyder drug trying desperately to recall a moneygram she had just sent to France for a Harley.

I had to leave before I added insult to injury...

 

LOL.... classic.
I wonder how long after she sent that money it took her to realize she was scammed...
