$11,000 2002 C 5
I saw an Advertisement in the NY Edition of Craigslist today. $1,100 2002 Corvette.
I thought they just messed up a couple of numbers maybe $31,000 left off the "3".
Here is the response I got:
harristucker@hotmail.com
Hi,
First of all thank you for your e-mail regarding my car. It's in perfect condition inside and out.
The price for this car is $11,000. Probably you will ask : Why the price so low?
Well, i will leave in the army in Iraq in about two weeks for a contract of 5 years...and i want to sell it fast.
The car it's located in Wisconsin .
It will be shipped from here and i will pay half of the shipping fees and insurance charges($500) and the buyer will pay the second half( $500).
I will do the arrangements for shipping from here.
The payment will be done through WorldPay.
I will wait for your email with your full name and shipping address if you are really interested in knowing more details about the purchase.
Thank you

Reply, and tell him you'll be in Milwaukee on business this weekend, and would like to inspect the car before purchasing. Ask him where in WI the car is, that since you'll have some free time, ask to make arrangements to view it.
Should make for an interesting reply. Most of these scammers are smart enough to list an overseas location to avoid this.

This part of the add that I quote above is perfect evidence, to me, that this is a scam. "Leave in the army" ? The only "leave in the army" is what civilians term as "vacation".
Here's the big one:" ...for a contract of 5 years " Enlistees don't "contract" they enlist or re-enlist. It's a term as old as the army itself and recruits use that term from day one until they ETS, retire or die. Additionally, I know of NO ONE who "contracts" for 5 (FIVE) years. Terms of enlistment (in the active components) are 3 or 6 years. The reserve components will allow prior service people to "try one". This 5 year thing the advertiser writes of is, well, just pure bull**** !
You see, this is why we need jails, and lots of them. Oh, and no parole would be nice for dirtbags like the scammer quoted in the advertisement above.

Pay This Scammer Through World Pay ! !
BTW....here's a tidbit for you. The advertiser tells you payment is through World Pay. A bank based in the United Kingdom. Ever hear of it ? That's what I thought. Neither have I !
Read below:
"An important part of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group, the 5th biggest banking group in the world, WorldPay payment solutions are trusted by thousands of businesses, big and small."
More proof of the scam.
