Scam via lindamuhlen101@msn.com

Hi, the car is still available. 2005 Black Acura RL?. It’s in excellent shape inside-out, no smoked in, never been in an accident. I’m the owner, I have a clear title for it.There are no marks on the leather and the carpets do not have the typical mom-mobile cool-aid stains. Still under warranty. This vehicle runs and drive as good as a new one.Transmission is in perfect condition and it shifts perfect! There is no leaks.
I want $4,500 for the car and the reason I’m selling for so low is because it’s the only asset I have that can be turned fast into cash.
Unfortunately, I’m on a business trip right now so I can only sell you the car through an escrow company.
I can probably pay for shipping but I just need your zip code to make sure.
Let me know if you’re still interested in buying my car.

Linda

Hi,
I’m still on the trip, I just have a very tight schedule, but it will clear up a little over the next week. I’m in a business with Shell Oil Co.(our truck is contracted out to Shell and Taylor Transport) The car is in Florida, in the shipping warehouse, (is already on the container complete with keys, title, service records and original manuals. I can ship to Iowa at my expense and provide a pre-purchase 150-point inspection report done by a professional inspector and a 5-day inspection period.
In order for both of us to be protected we’ll go through eBay VPP.
- I will need your full name, shipping address and phone# to register you as buyer with them.
-eBay will process the info, and send you the invoice with the transaction details.
- you send the money to eBay. They keep the payment secured in their bank account.
- After they secure your payment, they will instruct me to begin shipping you the car w/ documents. Shipping will take within 24-48 hours.
Once I’ll start the delivery, the shipping company will confirm you the exactly day and hour when the car arrive, you will have the tracking number, so you can check online the status of the delivery.
- You will receive the vehicle with all the documents for a 5-day inspection period. After the inspection period ends, if there are issues with the car, they will send you a full refund within 3 business days. In this case, you will ship the car back to me at my expense.
If all is good with the car, which I’m sure it will, and you want to keep it, you will have to give approval to eBay to release the payment to me.
If we have a deal, please reply with your full name, shipping address and phone # so I can get the ball rolling with eBay.
Thank you, Linda
