Hello,

Sorry for the late answer but I had some family problems.First of all I want to tell you that the car is still available and the price of $3,700.00. My 2002 BMW 3-Series 330i is in great shape,no engine problems,damages or hidden defects. It was always garaged and never smoked in, It is in EXCELLENT condition; the body and paint are in good condition,no problem with the engine this vehicle is in good condition inside and out. the vehicle is in Houston,TX United States. stored in a warehouse to the shipping company .

I’m selling it at a low price because I’ve just moved to London,UK. and I can’t register it here because didn’t correspond with their specs here so for me this car is useless. The title is clear and paid in full i offer shipping and insurance fees.I will ship it from here on my expense through USHIP. I want to take the opportunity to assure you that this deal is 100% legitimate, the financial part of this deal will be managed by the eBay’s buyer protection program (They are acting like a third party in our deal).

We will use eBay`s protection program for our safety. I have a purchase protection account there of $20.000 and will not deal outside of eBay under any circumstances.I just need your full name and address so i can initiate a Case ID at eBay. All you will need to do is wait for the invoice and follow the instructions eBay provides in there. After you receive the car you will have 15 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.

So if you agree please email me your full name and address so I can start the official procedure trough eBay and they will invoice you and you will know how the shipping will work for our deal. The final price is $3,700.00. including shipping from Houston,TX, United States. to your home address. So if you decide to buy this vehicle or need further information please get back to me as soon as possible.

I enquired about a 2005 Jayco 27D Class C motorhome for $9600.00. They would not give me a phone number & I was told the motorhome was at a shipping company in New York. They wanted me to go thru Ebay. I was given a link to an Ebay page to “buy it now”. I couldn’t talk to anyone & I couldn’t see the motorhome, but they wanted immediate payment. I researched a little more & found out from Ebay that the link was bogus. Therefore, there was no motorhome. I’m just afraid that there are numerous people out there that has lost $9600.00. I am glad that I am not one of them.

My husband and I started looking at used cars & trucks to purchase on Craigslist recently, as we actually got a good deal on a used car about 3 years ago on there and thought we would try again.

We started our search and I had heard nothing of these scams before on the vehicles, but we almost fell victim to one as well.  Thank God I had that feeling to do just a little more research before handing over money.  So far in my search, every single person I have email regarding any type of “good deal” on a car has sent one of the types of emails:

Hello,

The final price is $4,800 including shipping from United Kingdom to the US and delivery to your home address.So if you decide to buy this truck or need further information please get back
to me as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Sgt. Karew Edwin

So far, all of my response from sellers have been “Sgt.” in whatever military branch they are in….don’t even waste your time responding back.

And like I said, the list of perpetrating names and email addresses go on and on and on, so all we can do is flag them as we see them and hope to run them off.  (somehow I doubt it though, as I found forums regarding these scams that date back to 2005!!!!!)

Happy flagging!!!

Found a deal on craigslist too good to be true on a truck. All seemed legit until the email that asked for address etc. and explained that I was to send a moneygram money order to ebay vpp after they sent me an invoice. money was to be held by ebay while the tuck was shipped to me (free) and if I didn’t want the truck he would ship it back for free. Accompanied by convincing “just got divorced and am shipping out to Iraq” story. He is using: James Hamilton as his handle today. He was in Georgia, shipping from Arkansas, and advertising in the midwest….yeah…

I found this website after we were almost scammed out of $2900 for a 1999 Jeep 4×4 by Clara Svenson and listed on Craig’s List. Her letter sounded much like all the others….”giving the money to charity and involved with UNICEF, truck without a dent or scratch and always garaged in Helena, Montana, wanted to use Ebay (as she had a long account with them) for protection to both of us.” I have to admit that everything really looked official. I told my husband it looked to good to be true. So that’s when I went to google and typed in her name. I am really thankful for these postings. It saved us alot of money. Thank You
