Looking for a used car for my teenagers has been very time consuming. We have searched the internet to find the right car. We thought we had found it. The listing was posted in our hometown classified ads and knew it was a great deal. Below is the initial email.
Hi,
I'm Robert Miller, you inquired about my 2005 Honda Civic LX Sedan (VIN: 2HGES16685H500767).
I apologize for the delay, I'm in the military and now I am in United Kingdom and that's why I couldn't reply in time. If you are still interested in buying it, I'm asking $5,350. It has a clean title, very well maintained, always garage kept, no rust, excellent condition, runs and sounds 100% perfect with no leaks or noises. All power and optional equipments are working perfect. I have to sell this car as fast as I can because in three weeks I will be in Iraq and I think I'll stay there for a while that's why I'm selling it so cheap. I intend to buy a new car when I'll get back home. If you want to buy the car, I can ship for free within US with one of our military airplanes so you don't have to worry about the distance. If you are interested we can use a third party escrow broker, Moneybookers (http://www.moneybookers.com/app/help. Pl? S=escrow), to secure the transaction and to handle this whole process for us. Using a reputable E-Commerce third party escrow company will secure the transaction and you will receive the car before I'll get paid and of course I'm also covered because the funds will be kept safety into the escrow account. This is the best way for me even if I'll have to pay some extra money for their services. I'll cover the broker's fee and like I've explained, the shipping will be free because I can use one of our airplanes here and I don't have to pay anything. Let me know if you are interested. You can see some pics on the following link from my personal page: http://picasaweb. Google.com/rmllr4/Civic
You'll love the car, I can guarantee you that!
We thought we had lucked out. Fortunately after I came across this website and searched for reports on Moneybookers, I HAVE NOT SENT THEM A DIME. If you don't believe me, read the posting on 06/02 by Greg in Strafford, Texas. He got the same email from a different person.
Everything about the transaction is a SCAM. I tried to open my own escrow account with moneybookers thru the linked website in the email. Never happened. The funny thing is, he still believes I am sending him the cash. I guess he will get the hint when I email him a link to this posting!
If it looks to good to be true, it probably is.
