Ashley Sinkler aka Danny Burns I saw this Car (2008 Nissan Maxima) on Craigslist It was perfect and at a good price. I contacted the women Named "Ashley Sinkler" and asked for more pictures, so she send me quite a few of the inside and everything so I thought It was real, because she gave me the VIN number. and told me she was a Air Force Staff Sargent, and she was selling the car because they were going to send her back to Afghanistan and she won't be using it anymore.  Kansas City or Omaha MO or NE

          This is really a response to a report that was already filed on Ashley Sinkler. I too saw the car, on craigslist, and emailed them about it.  This was the response that I received:

Being that my husband is in the military and we have been through many moves and multiple deployments something just did not sit right. So I did a little more investigating and found that Ashley Sinkler was not in global. That is when I was just about positive that this was a scam.  I emailed back and asked had the car been sold yet and I received this email:

Hi again,

Please give me a little time to explain you the process of this transaction.I had prearranged the deal with eBay so my presence isn't necessary. The car is located in Omaha, NE ready to be delivered.The car will arrive at your address in 2-3 working days.It will come with all the necessary paperwork (clear title, bill of sale, user's manual etc). You will receive all the original documents. I signed all the paperwork and the clear title is ready to be transferred to the new owner.You will have 5 days to test it and inspect the car. eBay department will hold and insure your money throughout the inspection. If by any reason you find something you don't like about it you can send it back at my expense and eBay will send you a full refund. 
I'm sure it won't be the case because the vehicle is in excellent condition.  
If you intend to move ahead and conclude this transaction, please email me back with the following information: your full name, shipping address and your phone number. eBay will notify you all the details about the shipping and payment (terms, buyer protection coverage, payment instructions)

Thanks, hope to do business with you soon!

After seeing the other complaint was dated prior to me receiving this follow up email lets me know without a shadow of a doubt that this is a scam. Thankfully for me the only thing that I lost out on is a few minutes of my time. Unfortunately, someone else did fall victim to this scam. I just hope that this report/comment helps someone else.

There is NO car. You got scammed. The ad was fake. There is no car or should I say, they stole someone's ad from a car selling site. As soon as you paid the scammers, they stopped talking to you. They are criminals. They have no problem with cheating you. They are cheating and scamming others as you read this.

You should NEVER send money to someone you don't personally know. The method you paid them is not traceable. Money Gram money is gone! How much did you send them? My understanding is that there is no Ebay Buyer Protection Program outside of ebay. This is a ruse to get you to think it's safe to deal with this person.

I bet the price was very low, huh? Too good to pass up? That's what scammers do. Make the price extremely low. There is no car for you.

Why didn't you just go to a car lot and buy a car? Now you are out that money and the scammers keeping scamming other people.

Did you get an email supposedly from ebay or paypal about the transaction? That was FAKE too. The criminals, scammers wrote that email so you would think ebay or paypal was involved, they were NOT involved in this. That was a fake concoctred email sent to you by the scammers.
