Hi,
Thanks for the prompt response i would want you to know am serious about the
purchase as i am okay with the condition Likewise your asking price is
quite reasonable and affordable considering others I've seen lately, am
buying this as a Birthday gift for my mother in-law. I really want the car
to be a surprise package for mother in-law so I won't let her know anything
about the car until it gets delivered to her, I am sure she will be more
than happy with the car. I won't be able to come to check it in person due
to the nature of my new work, am on the sea at the moment as I am a marine
engineer and due to the nature of my work, phone call making and visiting of
website are restricted but I just have to squeezed out time to check this
advert and decided to contact you regarding it. My only means of payment is
PayPal,its safe fast and secure and i will be responsible for the paypal
transaction charges so you can get your expected amount.If you don't have a
paypal account,its pretty easy to open one,Just log on to http://www.paypal.com and sign up.I hope we can make the purchase as fast as possible? I will appreciate if you can send me some close picture.Thanks | l**********i

Avoiding Scams
Deal locally, face-to-face —follow this one rule and avoid 99% of scam
attempts.
Do not extend payment to anyone you have not met in person.
Beware offers involving shipping - deal with locals you can meet in
person.
Never wire funds (e.g. Western Union) - anyone who asks you to is a
scammer.
Don't accept cashier/certified checks or money orders - banks cash fakes
, then hold you responsible.
Transactions are between users only, no third party provides a "
guarantee".
Never give out financial info (bank account, social security, paypal
account, etc).
Do not rent or purchase sight-unseen—that amazing "deal" may not exist.
Refuse background/credit checks until you have met landlord/employer in
person.
Who should I notify about fraud or scam attempts?
United States
Internet Fraud Complaint Center
FTC Video: How to report scams to the FTC
FTC complaint form and hotline: 877-FTC-HELP (877-382-4357)
Consumer Sentinel/Military (for armed service members and families)
SIIA Software and Content Piracy reporting
(Ohio only) Ohio Attorney General Consumer Complaints
Canada
Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre or 888-495-8501 (toll-free)
Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)
If you are defrauded by someone you met in person, contact your local police
department.
If you suspect that a craigslist post may be connected to a scam, please
send us the details.
Recognizing scams
Most scams attempts involve one or more of the following:
Email or text from someone that is not local to your area.
Vague initial inquiry, e.g. asking about "the item." Poor grammar/
spelling.
Western Union, Money Gram, cashier check, money order, paypal, shipping,
escrow service, or a "guarantee."
Inability or refusal to meet face-to-face to complete the transaction.
Examples of Scams
1. Someone claims your transaction is guaranteed, that a buyer/seller is
officially certified, OR that a third party of any kind will handle or
provide protection for a payment:
These claims are fraudulent, as transactions are between users only.
The scammer will often send an official looking (but fake) email that
appears to come from craigslist or another third party, offering a guarantee
, certifying a seller, or pretending to handle payments.
2. Distant person offers a genuine-looking (but fake) cashier's check:
You receive an email or text (examples below) offering to buy your item,
pay for your services in advance, or rent your apartment, sight unseen and
without meeting you in person.
A cashier's check is offered for your sale item as a deposit for an
apartment or for your services.
Value of cashier's check often far exceeds your item—scammer offers to
"trust" you, and asks you to wire the balance via money transfer service.
Banks will cash fake checks AND THEN HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE WHEN THE CHECK
FAILS TO CLEAR, sometimes including criminal prosecution.
Scams often pretend to involve a 3rd party (shipping agent, business
associate, etc.).
3. Someone requests wire service payment via Western Union or MoneyGram:
Deal often seems too good to be true, price is too low, or rent is below
market, etc.
Scam "bait" items include apartments, laptops, TVs, cell phones, tickets
, other high value items.
Scammer may (falsely) claim a confirmation code from you is needed
before he can withdraw your money.
Common countries currently include: Nigeria, Romania, UK, Netherlands—
but could be anywhere.
Rental may be local, but owner is "travelling" or "relocating" and needs
you to wire money abroad.
Scammer may pretend to be unable to speak by phone (scammers prefer to
operate by text/email).
4. Distant person offers to send you a cashier's check or money order and
then have you wire money:
This is ALWAYS a scam in our experience—the cashier's check is FAKE.
Sometimes accompanies an offer of merchandise, sometimes not.
Scammer often asks for your name, address, etc. for printing on the fake
check.
Deal often seems too good to be true.
5. Distant seller suggests use of an online escrow service:
Most online escrow sites are FRAUDULENT and operated by scammers.
For more info, do a google search on "fake escrow" or "escrow fraud."
6. Distant seller asks for a partial payment upfront, after which they will
ship goods:
He says he trusts you with the partial payment.
He may say he has already shipped the goods.
Deal often sounds too good to be true.
7. Foreign company offers you a job receiving payments from customers, then
wiring funds:
Foreign company may claim it is unable to receive payments from its
customers directly.
You are typically offered a percentage of payments received.
This kind of "position" may be posted as a job, or offered to you via
email.
Actual scam emails sent to craigslist users:
Hi,
I am selling this car because my platoon has been sent back to Afganistan
and don't want it get old in my backyard. The price is low because I need to
sell it before November 16th. 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 Denali has 35,000 miles VIN# 1GKEK63U16J138428 .
It is still available for sale if interested, price as stated in the ad $4,
300. The car is in Baltimore, MD, in case it gets sold I will take care of
shipping. Let me know if you are interested, email back.
Regards!!!
First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my car. I sell it at
this price($2,980.00 ) because I have been divorced recently. Now the car is
in my property and as a woman i don't need it. This car is in excellent
working conditions, no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage, slightly used
in 100% working and looking conditions and comes with a clear title.
From the beginning you have to know that for the payment I request only
secure pay, I prefer the payment to be done using eBay services. We will use
a safe payment method because I am affiliated at eBay and I have a purchase
protection account for $20,000.00 The final price that I want for this car
is $2,980.00 including shipping and handling.
If you are interested in buying it please provide me your full name and
address so I can initiate the deal through eBay.
I will wait your answer very soon.
