Craigslist scam
I responded to a Craigslist (Oklahoma City) ad for this car and said if the price ($5850) was not a typo I would buy the car. That evening the ad was gone but I got this e-mail:
2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E320 - Mileage: 41,500 Miles First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my car. I sell it at this price ($ 5850 ) because i just finished the divorce with my husband. When the divorce has finished i own this car. Now as a single woman i don't need it. 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, 3 months transferable warranty. 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. We will use a safe payment method because I am affiliated at eBay and I have a purchase protection account.The final price that I want for this car is $ 5850 USD including shipping and handling. If you are interested in buying it please provide me your full name and address so I can initiate the deal through eBay. I will wait your answer(if you are interested to buy) very soon. Carrilyn Broadous P.S. - HERE ARE SOME PICS OF THE CAR - http://s426.photobucket.com/albums/pp348/carrilynbroadous/ This is my response: I'm assuming you are in the Oklahoma City area since that's where I saw it on craigslist. I can pick up the car in person and pay cash. Let me know where you are located and when I can see the car. Chuck Then this morning I get: The car is already at the shipping company in Lincoln,Nebraska ready for shipping. I have a contract with eBay so this deal must go through them. I'm very busy with my job and I'm out of town so I can't meet in person with you so this is the reason why I chose to sell my car over the Internet. 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. If you wish to make the transaction, please send me the necessary info so that we can proceed. I look forward to hear from you. Thank you I'm done fooling with it because it's obviously a scam but thought I'd post for your viewing pleasure. Sure wish it was for real though. Nice car!
