I have not been ripped off yet, but the email I have is exactly the same as another post about a Nissan. I was looking at a Honda Civic on SellMyCar.com and the following email came to me:

Hi there,
The car is in perfect working condition, it doesn't have any dents, chips or scratches and the interior is in like new condition, never smoked in.
All the maintenance done on a regular basis and I have all the service records for it. It's accident-free and has a clean and clear title.
The total price that I 'm asking for the car including shipping will be $1,950.00. I am selling it so cheap hoping to find a buyer since the car is located in Provo, UT at MoneyBookers and I live in Scotland. I would like to use MoneyBookers Shipping Department a third party service to handle this transaction for our both safety and comfort. (they will take care of the shipping/payment).
If you are still interested just send me your full name and shipping address, phone# and I will open a case and they will contact you with all the informations about our deal.
Thank you
Sharon

Sure, vin 1hgem22971l051658.

The VIN checks out as an actual car with good history.
I asked her how long she had owned the car and how long she had it, I got no response.
I looked up MoneyBookers.com based out of New York City and asked if they had a branch in Provo Utah, they said no, that they had scams reported already and were aware of the scam running on SellMyCar.com and had reported it to their fraud department.
I want a car but don't want to be scammed
