... it must not be true.


Check out this scammer on Autotrader. Lets flood his emails.

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=p&car_id=282131543&dealer_id=65431515&car_year=2001&mod_bookmark_id=34680238&mod_bookmark_id=34680238&start_year=1981&keywordsfyc=&keywordsrep=&engine=&certified=&fuel=Diesel&only_price=1&search_type=both&distance=100&make=&keywords_display=&color=&min_price=&incremental=All&body_style=TRUCKS&drive=4%20wheel%20drive&default_sort=priceDESC&lastExec=1277928398000&seller_type=b&max_mileage=&style_flag=2&sort_type=priceDESC&address=27410&advanced=y&end_year=2010&doors=&transmission=&max_price=7000&cardist=111&standard=false

I sent a few wmails and I got a response froma "woman" saying she just got divorced and needed to sell the truck. The here comes the scam... she wants to use eBay to do the sale, and they already have custody of the truck. Final email refers to her used to be in porn. :lol: I will copy the emails in a little bit
 
First response:

Hi ,

Thanks for being interested in buying my 2001 Ford F350. The truck is still for sale at the price of $4100 (final sale price), it is in mint condition, never been involved in kind of accidents, ready to be sold. It has an 8 Cylinder ,141000 miles a perfect truck . The only thing because I am selling it, because I divorced and after the divorce I own this truck , now as a woman I don`t need it (I don't have driver's license)...
It is the 7.3
I can provide VIN# to check on your own.Just let me know if you are still interested.

Thank you
 
Second response:

Hi again ,

Here is the VIN# 1FTWW33F51EA13454 . The car is located in Jackson,TN (I just moved here with my new job), we will use eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection, so we can both be protected and insured. I just need your full name and full address so eBay can send you the invoice in which you'll see how to make this transaction. I supposed to ship the car to another buyer, then he told me that he found another vehicle so is no longer interested. He already paid the shipping charges, the shipping is paid I will send the car with all the papers ( vehicle registration, warranty papers,transfer papers etc ) I am just waiting your full name and address to complete the shipping papers and start the delivery process.

Thank you
 
Third response:

Hi ,

I'm a flight attendant at American Airlines and because I'm away most of the time I will not be able to deal in person. I had pre-arranged the deal with eBay so my presence is not necessary , the car is in their possession ready to be delivered. eBay will handle this transaction for me. The car is insured in case of damage and it takes 5 days to be delivered at your door. It will come with all the necessary paperwork (clear title, bill of sale, user's manual,insurance etc). You will receive all the original documents and keys with the car. I signed all the paperwork and the clear title is ready to be transferred to the new owner.
Please get back to me with your full name, full address so i can forward your details to eBay in order for you to receive the invoice regarding the terms and conditions of this transaction.

Thank you
 
And finally: :D

Ok I will let you know when I will have a day when I am not working (if I am not selling it until then, I see a lot of people are interested )
I prefer to sell it with ebay protection because the shipping is already paid and I have some personal reasons to do that (I was working in porn industry before to get that job )

Thanks

:lol::lol: you should try hitting on her. tell her your a photographer and get sum photos for the garage.....lmao
 
Ask her if she would be interested in trading for a Rusty Trombone and some cash.
 
It is a fax machine, I tried it yesterday before I knew it was a scam.
 
I did respond to the last email and say "Is the porn industry big in Linville?" :D
 
Tell her to make arrangements that you will only do it if you can exchange money for truck with a person to person deal. You never know friend of mine bought a 2001 powerstroke dually like this for 3000 he thought it was a joke. The truck ended up being a stolen recovery truck and the owners had already bought another so he got a hell of a deal.

yeah i fell for the same thing and prob the same guy/gal. had the same set up thru ebay and ready to ship :poop:. first email i got i was like yeah ok....:fuck-you:
 
Tell her you have a really good friend who lives in Jackson (um, even though the AutoTrader listing says Linville, NC), and you'd like an excuse to go see him - so you'd really just as soon come pick it up in person, even thoiugh it means more expense for you.

And.. .and airline stewardess w/ AA? Look at a map. Closest airport is Memphis, 60+ miles away. Might ask how long the commute is...
 
I think it's a perfectly reasonable ad. She's probably had all those different jobs because she's trying to support herself through Med school. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves for questioning such a legit ad. I believe I'll send her my SSN and bank account info to help make the transaction even more smooth.
