It seems most of them are $2800. I just got caught up in my 2nd one in the past few weeks. My mom’s car got totaled and I’m trying to find her a new one.
Scammer’s email: James King
Thank you for your interest in my 2004 Acura TL. This Acura is in excellent condition, it has no engine problems, no cosmetic damage or hidden defects. All power equipment works perfectly.
The car has 89,621 miles, the Engine size is 3.2L. It has a clear title with my name written on it. My asking price is $2850. I have no need for this car and want to sell it fast. The car was left at a local shipping company in Chicago,IL and it will be shipped from there if necessary for inspection and test drive before you buy it.
Get back to me if you are interested in purchasing and we might have a deal.
Here is the links to some pictures of the car: 20 pics attached.

Me: Mr. King,
You have to excuse my suspicion of this car being listed at such a low price. If it’s a legitimate posting, I am very interested in purchasing it from you. Please let me know when it arrives locally so I may see it and test drive it.

Scammer: Hi again,
Right now I’m on a military base, getting ready for Afghanistan. So I am not able to talk on the phone for now. The vehicle is already at the shipping company warehouse in Chicago IL, ready to be shipped. The vehicle is enlisted in the eBay VPP program so this deal must go through them. In accordance with eBay Vehicle Purchase Program terms, you have 3 days from the time you receive the vehicle to inspect it and decide whether you want to keep it or not. The vehicle will be shipped free of charge, along with all documents, clean FL title with my signature on it, owner’s manual and keys. It has never been involved in any accident, there’s no body damage or mechanical problems. Here is how it will work:

1. First of all, I will need your details: Full name, shipping address and phone #.
2. Once I receive the details from you, I will forward them to Ebay VPP for processing.
3. After they process your information, they will send you an invoice with all the details on how to make a refundable payment. Basically, you will have to issue a Western Union payment to a verified eBay VPP Agent and the payment will be secured with them. Only you will have access to the payment.
4. Ebay will contact me and I will ship the vehicle. After you receive it you will have 3 days to test and verify the vehicle. If you decide to buy it, I will receive the payment from Ebay. Otherwise, the vehicle will be shipped back free of charge on your side and you will be fully refunded. If you wish to make the transaction, please send me the necessary information so we can proceed.
I’ll wait your response.
Thanks

Thankfully I checked into it first, b/c I was getting very excited. I’m very appreciative for your site.
