2003 JOHN DEERE 4410 TRACTOR – 430 LOADER – $2850 (clover sc)
This was on Craigslist 5/20/2010 and I contacted the email listed for more information on tractor. I received an email back:
??I would like to let you know upfront that this tractor is priced at: $2850
> 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 tractor. 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 tractor 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 tractor 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,
> Anne
I replied back that I wanted to see the tractor and asked other questions, 24 hours went by and no response and all ready didn’t have a good feeling on this whole deal. I did a search online and found this was a scam.
I received this email back from her outlining how to pay and send more infomration so she could set up case for eBay vehicle protection purchase plan.
