Pink VW Scam
My name is Amelia Green, I am emailing you regarding the 2004 Volkswagen Beetle GLS Turbo that I have for sale.
The car is in perfect condition , with no need for additional repairs, no scratches, dings, special marks whatsoever, never been involved in any accidents. The interior looks great (NO SMOKING). It has 50,550 miles , automatic, 4 Cylinder 1.8 Liter Turbo, gasoline ,pink exterior and gray interior . I have a clear and clean title for it , no liens or loans ready to be signed and notarized on your name …
I’m selling my son’s car , who died in Iraq two 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 car of your dead son, no offence) !!!
As you probably noticed , the final price that i want for this car is $2890 if you will buy it today or tomorrow .
Here are the pictures with the car:

When I responded and asked to drive the car and take it to a mechanic, oh, by the way, she’s in Florida instead of where she advertised in Seattle. What a surprise.

Well well well, I have encountered almost the same exact situation yesterday! An ’06 Beetle for $2,850… The vehicle “is located in Texas”, but the seller is conveniently in California and can’t show me the car or meet me in person. Another funny thing is, he says he’s deaf. But he also told me that someone else wanted to buy the car and when he flew down from Cali to meet them, they weren’t there. So he called them…. really? Deaf people can’t hear to call anyone. Unless he had someone call FOR him, but when I asked for his number, he didn’t give it to me. Why couldn’t he give me the same convenience as the last buyer? Anyhow, I’m pretty sad about this scam! The price was so awesome, I wish it were real. It was going to be my first car
