Clara Svenson – At it again!! Scam

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

    I got this email yesterday from Clara as well…please beware…

    “I would like to let you know upfront that this Truck is priced at: $2900
    I also like to tell you that I’m not selling this vehicle for profit or due to a lack of money. The reason for selling is that some recent events in my life made me change my perception of certain things that I considered important in the past. The funds received after this sale will be directed towards charity. Right now I’m traveling with UNICEF as a volunteer.
    On the other hand, you shall know few things about the Truck. The title is clear and is in an excellent condition without any dents or scratches. It was always garaged and the regular maintenance was done in time as well as the oil changes. The Truck was never involved in any accidents or flood damage. The motor never let me down, look great and run smoothly.
    I’m not trying to offend you, but if you intend to apply for a loan or financing, please don’t go any further because the Truck is priced for a fast sale, and I require a cash transaction. The process will be managed by eBay Company and the transaction will be made only through their eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection plan for the safety of both. If you are still interested and ready to agree with my terms, please reply so I can forward you the detailed description of the eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection Plan.

    I am looking forward to your reply.

    Thank you,
    Clara
