Scam via k.klein@msn.com

I think this is a scam similar to the hundreds of others that I have heard of out there..

Hi,
Sorry for the late answer, but I had some problems at work and I wasn’t able to handle the car sale. First, a few words about the car: it is in excellent working condition, no mechanical problems, no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage and comes with a clear title. It was always garaged and hasn’t been involved in an accident. I have all service records for it. The final price is $5,500 including shipping&handling. The price is low because I’m looking for a quick cash sale; I am not selling this car for profit or due to lack of money. My husband died 3 months ago and I decided along with my daughter to sell the house and move to my sister. The financial part of this transaction will be provided by eBay through their Vehicle Purchase Protection Program. I used the vpp program in the past and all my transaction ended succesfully. I want a fast and safe transaction for both of us, so please let me know if you have the funds available and wish to explain you the payment and shipping process.
Regards

Hi,
I attached you some pics so you remember the car. I confirm you it has a navigation system. It has around 83,300 miles on it. I want to inform you that the car is already at the shipping company in San Marino, CA sealed and ready for the shipping. I will ship it for free and you’ll have a 5 days testing period. I’m very busy with my job and I’m out of town so I won’t be able to meet you; this was the reason why I choose to sell the car over the internet. If you want to but it, you’ll send a deposit of $3,000 before the shipping of the car. This transaction is covered by eBay’s Vehicle Protection Program up to 10,000 USD and if something goes wrong you will be fully refunded. I already registered the car in the eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection Program. You will transfer the money to ebay and they will hold it until you’ll receive and inspect the car. ONLY AFTER you’ll receive and inspect the car ebay will release the payment to me; meanwhile they will hold the money into a trust account. This way we are both protected: I will know that I have a serious buyer who has the money to pay me and you will be able to see and inspect the car before buying it. If you are really interested in purchasing the car please send me your full name, shipping address and your phone number. Ebay will give you all the details regarding the shipping and payment.

Regards
