  • Craigs List SPAM

    Start at the bottom... Not sure the picture link will work, but $2,900.00 would be a screaming deal...


    Hello again

    After i finished the divorce i have moved to my parents home in Detroit MI for a while, because i think they are only people who can help me to pass this difficult situation.Besides, there are a lot of things which have priority now, so, this car has to go.It has clean title, cleared of any obligations or fees (no lien) and it is registered in my name.I am a member of the eBay buyer protection and using this service you will get a 5 days testing period after delivery. During that 5 days testing period I will not be getting any money.In the inspection period you can test the vehicle, go with the vehicle at your local mechanic for inspection, but do not put more then 500 miles on it.After your inspection period (5 calendar days) In case you won't like the car you will notify eBay and you will send the car back on my expense, if you want to keep it you will also announce eBay, you will send the funds (payment method and all the details will be set up by eBay) and you will keep the car.

    I need your name and address and after that I will send your info to eBay and they will e-mail you soon with more info about the deal.Let me know if you are agree with this.

    PS: DON'T GET ME WRONG BUT EBAY IS A BIG COMPANY AND USING THEM WE ARE BOTH SAFE.You will receive along with the car all it's papers, documents and manuals.
    I have a few guys interested so I will need a prompt answer from you!

    Thanks and have a great day

    Hello Jolie,

    Very nice Bronco that you have... It seems like it would be worth much more than you are asking for...

    Where is the Bronco located now and is it possible to view it in person? Thanks for your reply.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for your interest regarding my 1973 Ford Bronco that I have for sale, the car is in perfect working condition. It has no scratches and hasn't been involved in any accident, no rust, dings or mechanical problems, automatic transmission. The motor runs very well and shift smoothly. The car was always garaged and never been smoked in. The interior is very clean and the title is clear (no loan or liens). It has 9,976 miles on it. I decided to sell the car at this price $2,900 because I need money urgently.
    If you have any further question please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thanks!

    I do not understand why these people are not prosecuted, and why CLenables these fraudulent transactions.

    Anyone who knows anything about ebay knows that they are not an escrow company, and they do not broker transactions for auto sales.

    But these people continue to advertise and sell products that they do not own...in an effort to steal your downpayment.

    I often thought it would be a great law enforcement activity to sting these guys, and prosecute them for criminal fraud. But they persist. And you know that it works for them.

    Thanks for the heads up!

      They do just not enough money to go after all of them. Almost need to catch them red handed

        You will see that exact same scheme used 1000 times. Go look up the newest coolest 4x4 ATV, Boat, you name it. Exact same scam. When you email a third time about where it is you will get a story that the vehcile is being shipped back to the US because he is coming back from "Iraq Tour". Bullshiet.

          I have received that exact same email from people on deals too good to be true as well. When shopping for my Bronco there was a really nice white EB that kept popping up in my searches and it was supposedly in Texas where the seller was temporarily living with his parents, etc. These guys just stay one step ahead and don't get caught often enough.
