Scammer tried selling me a car here's his emails:
Hello,
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. Anyway, thank you for your interest in buying the car. Why is the price so low? I am selling the car because I am here in UK with my work, and my regiment will be deployed in three weeks 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. So all that I want to do now is to sell the car at this price, because I need to sell it fast.
Now I will tell you a few words about the car... 2006 Honda Accord EX with automatic transmission is in perfect condition, with no need for additional repairs, no scratches, dings, special marks whatsoever. The interior looks great (NO SMOKING). It has 19,200 miles and the VIN # is: 1HGCM72746A009874. It has a clear title ready to be signed and notarized on your name.
I have the pictures hosted on the net and you can see them at: http://s301. Photobucket.com/albums/nn80_honda_accord_ex/
The price is $4,100 THIS IS MY LAST PRICE. I will NOT negotiate the price. I will take in consideration only those buyers who are really interested in buying the car, to be sure that I don't waste my time with endless discussions. This way, I shall be assured of the serious intentions.
So if you are interested please email me back for next step.
Warm regards,

Hi again,
Before leaving I had prearranged shipping and the payment with MoneyBookers Company (check moneybookers.com) so my presence in U. S isn't necessary (The car is in Virginia at a Navy base ready for delivery). The price of car $4,100.00 includes all the shipping costs and insurance, so you won't have to pay any extra charges. Since I work with the Navy the delivery process is not an issue, I'll have the vehicle shipped at your home address in maximum 5 days.
Here is what I suggest: we will use MoneyBookers which acts like an escrow service (check Escrow Service moneybookers.com/app/help. Pl? S=escrow), you make a deposit in a MoneyBookers managed trust fund (they hold the money until you receive the car), I send the car over (the car will be delivered with the title, owner's manual, 2 sets of keys, service records, and of course the bill of sale authorised and signed by me), I will offer a 14 days period from the day you receive the vehicle, you can inspect it, take it to a mechanic to check it out, drive it and then if you decided to keep it, you'll confirm to MoneyBookers the sale and they will send the payment to me. If, by any reason, you will not be satisfied with it (even though I can assure you that it is exactly as described), you can return it at my expense for a full refund of your money, no questions asked. I think this is more than fair for the both of us.
NOTE: The payment is refundable, and is just a security measure, to make sure that you are serious, and that I am not going to ship the car, and loose time and money.
If you are interested to go ahead with the deal, please reply with your full name, phone # and shipping address so I can ask MoneyBookers to open a case! After, they will contact you explaining all the details regarding the payment.
I'm looking forward to hear from you.
God bless!
