Gloria and Albert Collins Craigslist 2003 Volvo XC 90 Scam
Hi there, thanks for e-mailing us. First of all we would like to inform you about the location of the vehicle Columbus, Ohio. The car is still available and it’s in excellent shape inside-out, no accidents, always garage kept, never smoked in. It has 56,000 miles and no mechanical problems, dings, dents or scratches. There are no liens or loans on the car and it has a clean title. We are selling the Volvo below the market price because it’s the only asset we have that can be turned fast into cash to pay off the mortgage as soon as possible. My husband is a DAS Shipping Company employee and he can deliver the car at no costs everywhere in the US.
The transaction will be managed by eBay, so everything will go smooth. You will receive the car for inspection before you make any payment to me. If you are interested in completing this deal with us, just give me a reply as soon as possible. I will reserve the car for you and also give you more details about the car and how to complete this transaction with us. Final price $2,800.00 (shipping included).
All the best to you and your family,
Gloria & Albert
PS: For more pictures just e-mail me back.
Let me give you all the details about this transaction and how we can complete it through eBay’s Vehicle Protection Program.
First you have to make the payment to eBay Motors Representative. Once they check the payment if everything is alright, they will notify me to proceed with the shipping. Once you receive the car, you got 15 days for inspection. After 15 days if you agree to keep it you will have to notify eBay to release the payment to me, if you don’t like the car, the shipping agency will take it back and eBay will refund you, but I am sure you will love the car and this won’t happen. This way you will see and inspect the car before I get paid. eBay actually holds the money until the buyer is satisfied with the merchandise.
It’s also a fair way to complete online deals.
If you are ready to start this transaction with me please e-mail me your complete delivery address and full name. I will forward the details to eBay and they will contact you after they open a case.
Sincerely,
Gloria

She used two different email addresses with me. She tried scamming me with a 1997 Honda Prelude. It was too good to be true so I’m pretty bummed out. This post actually helped me to avoid the transaction! Thanks so much!

This morning I receive an email response to craigslist ad where it stated:
“My husband is a DAS Shipping Company employee and he can deliver the car for free everywhere in the United States. The transaction will be managed by eBay, so everything will go smooth.”
As I read the email I am sensing this might be scam and do a
Google search for Das Sipping Company in Columbus, Ohio and came across this website, with information about “Gloria and Albert Collins Craigslist…Scam”
Here is email I received from “Gloria and Albert”
