1st Email:

Hi,
I am selling this Honda Odyssey because my unit has been sent back to Afghanistan and don't want it get old in my backyard. The price is low because I need to sell it before Nov 30. It has no damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn't been involved in any accident.I do have the title , clear, under my name.The van has 62,000 miles, year 2007.
It is still available for sale if interested, price as stated in the ad $4,700. The van is in Great Falls, MT, in case it gets sold I will take care of shipping. Let me know if you are interested, email back.
Regards,
Alexander Wilson

2nd Email

Hi,
As I've told you at this moment I am in in Great Falls, MT in a military base getting ready for Afghanistan. This means that I do a special training program and I am not allowed to get out of the unit or give calls whenever I want.The shipping won't be a problem because I can do it at no cost for you. You will receive the vehicle along with all the documents including title, bill of sale, full service records and more .Because it is a large transaction we will complete the deal only using an authorized  third party like eBay, using their Business Purchase Protection Program.The payment will be handling by eBay and you will benefit of 5 days inspection time period (test drive) and the option to accept or reject the vehicle on my expense. If you are still interested just send me your full name and shipping address. I will forward your info and they will notify you about our deal.

VIN:  XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 
Thanks,
Alexander Wilson

very old scam

AUTHOR: Lee - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, December 17, 2009

It's similar to a craigslist scam where a car is at a really low price.

The dead give away is when they go into this incredibly long email that is totally irrelevent.  It creates an urgency or sob story.  The car is always in a different location than you so that you cannot actually go and inspect it.  They will always offer some sort of free shipping, either military, or through their employer or something.

If you email them back and say, 'Oh cool, my cousin lives in (wherever), she can go down and take a look at it'.  If you do this, you will not get another email if it is a scam.

By the way...Ebay does not have an escrow service.  Ebay does not service purchases unless they are listed with them and searchable on their site.

What difference does the name make?  Do you really think any of these names are real?  Wake up!  Fake identification is used to pick up the money.  This is an old SCAM.
