Answered ad on craigslist to purchase vehicle. They agreed to sale and said they would use ebay to manage all the money, ship details, etc. Sent me quick responses with emails that had ebay motors logos, links that took me to info about buyer protection for the purchase, money-back guarantee if vehicle wasn't as advertised. I even pulled up ebay motors and searched that site independently. Various things I checked on ebay motors looked the same as the ebay email they sent to me, so I thought it was legitimate.
I followed directions, sent the money via money gram, then waited for shipping details. I started inquiring about shipping details after 3 days and they sent me another email from the vehicle protection that said I needed to send $2000 for buyer insurance on the vehicle.
At that point, I became suspicious and discovered I had been duped.
