Amber Carrigeer Almost got us with this scam Oakman, Alabama Internet

Sunday, my fiancee found a 2003 Peterbilt 379 for sale on commercialtrucktrader.com.  The price was absolutely amazing for the type of truck it was, with low miles and not very old.  The asking price was $9,500.  He contacted the numbers listed and was contacted by a woman's son on Monday who said he was trying to sell for his mother and father due to "family issues" and that his mother would contact him with more information soon.  This is the e-mail he recieved from the "mother";

After reading this e-mail he forwarded on to me,  I Googled the woman's full name and was brought to this site.  Luckily we caught this scam before it cost us almost $10,000 and a lot of heartache.  We had really been interested in this truck, it really is beautiful, whomever's truck it may be.  By the sounds of it, it could be just about anyone's, this person has done this before with other equipment and vehicles, including another Petebilt 379 flat roof that was on the same site.  My fiancee took steps to report her on that particular website, hopefully it will result in getting her shut down before she can swindle anyone else.  Thank goodness for this site, otherwise who knows how far this might have gotten.  I hope this post helps save others from losing several thousand dollars to this scam artist.  

I will definitely be checking this site for others he finds in his search for a truck, it has proven to be a VERY helpful tool in protecting us against tools.
