I found this car in an online classifieds and i thought about getting the car. However, the lady emailed me back a few times and it sound quite sketch. Any thoughts please! Also anyone heard of ebays vehicle purchase protection??

Here's her emails:
Hi ,

Thanks for being interested in buying my car. It is in a good condition, no scratches,no damages,never been implicated in any accidents,no problems at the engine,runs very well. The car has a clear title, is a perfect car. The price is not negotiable $3.700 firm. The only thing because i am selling it,because i divorced with my husband and after the divorce i own this car,now as a woman i don`t need it(i don`t have driver license)... We will use only eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection to complete the sale. If you are interested and you have the funds available email me your full name and shipping address.

Her again:
The car is located in Boise, Idaho (i just moved here with my new job),like i told we will use eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection,so we can both be protected and insured.I just need your full name and full address so eBay can send you the invoice in which you`ll see how to make this transaction.The shipping is free i will take care of it and i will send the car with all the papers( vehicle registration, warranty papers,transfer papers etc ) i am just waiting your full name and address to complete the shipping papers and start the delivery process.

 

make sure you send all of your credit card numbers, Social Security Number, date of birth, mother's maiden name and driver's licence to her to make everything go as smooth as possible

 

oh believe i did already. with my fingerprints and all my current bank statements too.

 

lol, Sounds like a scam to me

 

shes trying to sell the hubby's car before he comes back for it.


no fackin good

 

Says she'll ship a freakin CAR for free....and you're seriously asking if it's a scam?

 

I ate a bagel while I read this now its all over my keyboard

 

The way the wording and sentences are reminds me of the E-mail scams I sometimes get saying I won an international lottery and need to send information so I can collect.

 

DUDE THATS A SCAM!!!! i had the same exact thing happen to me... i found a car listed on craigs list.. (maxima) it turned out to be in idaho the lady was divorced.. anywho same story...

dont do it....

 

^ this.

I got the same response from CraigsList when I emailed about a listing for a 300zx. And now I get random spam mail in the email I try to reserve for work, etc.

 

I agree.

 

yep scam, weird that shes firm on the price like she needs money yet will ship for free, plus she probably is trying to unload the car before her husband comes home

 

This is a scam.

 

lol at you thinking
A) there is a car.
B) there is a she.

 

NOT a scam

poor lady just trying to get back at her husband
send her extra money for the shipping

 

"now as a woman i don`t need it(i don`t have driver license)"

 

most dummies listing a car on craigslist hollering "Ebay vehicle purchase protection" are scammers.Why even offer that but its listed on CL??

 

Uh-huh.
So you're picking and choosing which parts of a scam to believe?

Give your head a shake, man!

 

Was the car in NJ? He was selling a 300zx TT with HRE wheels for like $1900.

Anything with the words ebay vehicle ... blah blah blah ... is a scam.

 

I just got that same email from a craigslist ad its a scam. See this is my message I recieved

Hello,

Thank you so much for contacting me regarding my 1999 Nissan Maxima SE Limited Edition. The car has 127,000 miles, one owner, it's in perfect condition without any mechanical problems, with no damages or hidden defects, no need for additional repairs, clear title without any accidents, liens or loans. All power equipment are in working order. I have all the car's manual, 2 spare of keys, all the documents and papers. The last price for the car is 2,400.00$. I was fired from my job because the financial crises that affected almost everyone including the company I worked at. I'm in a hurry to find a buyer because I'm in debts with my bank, so now you can see the reason why I'm selling my car at 2,400.00$. I want to make this transaction through eBay's Vehicle Purchase Program. I want eBay because they are the biggest Company and we can close this deal fast and safe for both of us. If you are interested to buy email me your full name and shipping address (street,city,state,zip code,country) so I can open the case with eBay.


Thanks you,

 

wow, after years people stopped falling for the "I am overseas in Iraq, but the car is at a holding company and can be shipped to you to inspect" scam, so they changed it up?

 

Something to that effect, if I remember correctly. I deleted the emails a long time ago, but I got a similar response to what OP got when I asked if the car was still available.

 

Exactly I don't see how people cannot see this as bull****. If this was real and the car needed to be shipped she wouldn't have the price up she listed. It would of cost MORE.

 

Did the lady state the fact that you need to send your full name and address at all...lol. A bit repetitious. That's why when selling the max on CL I stated border state and in state inquires only, so the " I'll be sending a car shipper"s in Nigeria and Russia won't waste their time sending me emails.

 

My buddy got a divorce from his wife and she got his mustang from the divorce. She went ahead and sold it for $1,500 after. Here was his mustang. No lie.

As convincing as SHAM WOW!

 

i'd say she got a pretty good deal

 

A craigs list ad, sending an Ebay invoice? And people actually fall for that ****?

That ID 10 T virus must be going around strong these days.

 

notice how it says "clear title" not clean.
craiglist warns that ANY offer to ship cars is a scam.

 

 

"now as a woman i don`t need it"


that's all she needed to say

 

same thing happened to me. came across an add on kiji selling an 2004 Acura RL for like 4000, when they go for like 20 000. Anyway same thing, now single lady, moved back home, and wants to get rid of her exes car. Free shipping and she even went as far as sending me an Ebay Motors invoice. Called ebay motors and they told me this happens all the time.

SCAM SCAM SCAM

 

lmao. you beat me to the pic.

 

he went a long way from this
