From: jennifer.lewis2001@gmail.com
I have received your email regarding the 2007 Honda CR-V EX-L with only 33,600 miles. The car is located in Laredo, TX at the shipping company. The car is in perfect condition,with no scratches on it,no damage, clear title. The engine is a 4 Cylinder. The transmission is automatic. The price for the car is $3,500 with shipping included.The car was my husband`s as he loved it very much, but he did not enjoy it as he died in a IRAQ 3 month ago. It brings very bad memories to me, I want to get rid of it.The buyer will receive the car with all papers and receipts that he needs to register it to his name. Shipping will be done whit DAS and it will take no more then 2-3 days. I have a friend there who will manage me a low price shipping and I assumed that it is my duty to pay for shipping it.It will be delivered directly to your address.Anyway, I have to let you know that I want a fast deal so if you are really interested in buying it,please reply with the following information’s:
-Your full name;
-Your shipping address.(street,city,state,zip code)
The transaction will close only through eBay so we both will be protected.
I want eBay because as they are the biggest company on the internet I think that we can close this deal fast and safe for both of us. Also I am not very familiar with the internet transactions and eBay is the only one I know.I will look for your email,so that we can move forward with this deal!
Let me know.

Jeez–this is the same person as:
lowest of the low
Claiming their son was just killed in Iraq 4 months ago, they just want to get rid of the Airstream trailer because it causes too much pain to look at it.
Hello James,
My name is Trisha, I am emailing you regarding the travel trailer that I have for sale.
The Airstream trailer is absolutely perfect, never got any repairs,clear title and it has never been involved in any type of accident.I`m selling only for $2,800 as i want to sell it fast.
I’m selling my son’s trailer, who died in Iraq four months ago and I want to get rid of it asap because the sight of it makes me think of him often and often and the pain is too great. Put yourself in my shoes and you’ll do the same (selling the trailer of your dead son, no offence)..!
The payment will be made through eBay protection program and only after you will receive the trailer, I will receive the payment.Below you can find a link with some pictures.
I will wait your answer(if you are interested in buying it) very soon.

Hi XXXX,
Thanks for replying.Because of our jobs we don`t have time to stay and meet with all our potential buyers,so we’ve decided to sell it online.That’s why we gave it to a shipping co. that will ship it to the next owner(on my cost).You will have 5 days from the time you receive the trailer to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not. If by any reason, you aren’t satisfied, you will return the trailer to the shipping co. with no expense.We will be using eBay’s Protection for our safety.
Please reply with your complete name and shipping address in your next email and let me know if you are interested in knowing more details about this purchase so that I can open a transaction at eBay and to move forward with this deal.After that they will contact you with all necessary information about this transaction(terms,buyer protection,payment instructions,invoice,etc.).
P.S.I forgot to tell that the trailer will be shipped from Omaha NE.

Hi Carla,
We’re kind of interested…it looks awesome and all, but I saw that it was posted in cities across the country. My guess is that it is not in my city for me to take a look at unless you’re on a nice roadtrip? You planning to deliver?

Hello XXXX,
Thank you for your interest in buying our trailer. I’m selling it for $2,500. I wanted to keep the trailer but me and my husband left the city for a better job in L.A., so we decided to sell it. The trailer is in showroom condition, no mechanical problems and never involved in any type of accident.It has a clear title and it will come with a new set of tires.We will use eBay Vehicle Purchase protection to secure this transaction.
Here is a link with the pictures:

RE: Ford F250 4WD SuperDuty XLT – $3100 (baltimore)?
Hi,
The car it’s still available, has 168,638 miles, automatic transmission. It’s in perfect condition, no engine/electric problems, no liens/loans. Exterior no scratches, never been repainted, interior no rips/tears/stains, never smoked inside. I have all the car’s manuals, 2 spare of keys, title, documents. I’m selling my husband’s car who was killed into an accident about 4 months ago (not in this car). He was coming home from school and a drunk driver hit him and our child. Thanks God that my child is still with me. This 1999 Ford F250 XLT Super Duty 4X4 (6.8L V10 engine) was his car and it brings me bad memories and that’s the reason I want to sell it. If you are a serious buyer, the last price is $3,000.00.
I travel a lot with my business and I want to make this deal through eBay’s Vehicle Purchase Protection Program. I just need your full name, full shipping address, home/cell # so I can open a case (with no further obligation or fees). eBay will contact you with all the Transaction/shipping details you will need. We will take care of the shipping, so don’t worry. I hope to hear soon from you.
