Luckily I searched and found this website before I was scammed into losing $8500. Below is the text of the emails I received from "Barbara Pugh" who was selling a car on www.chron.com for an unbelievably low price. As the saying goes, if it's too good to be true — it's too good to be true!

Hello,
Thank you for your interest about my car. Sorry for the delayed response, but I'm in Glasgow (Scotland) right now and I have been very busy. The total price of the 2007 Toyota Prius is $8,500.00USD. This is my last price. I'll not negociate the price. The car is registered and located in United States. I want to keep the car for me, but I cannot register it here, as it is made for the USA market, according to US standards. So, I decided to sell it.
A few words about the car:
Toyota Prius
-Mileage: 10,772
-Automatic
-Title is clean.
-Engine: 4 Cylinders
-Exterior: Blue
-Interior: Gray
-VIN#: JTxx472
The car is like new, in perfect conditions, accident free, no scratches, no special marks, no need for additional repairs what so ever. A genuine road runner ready to be yours, but only if you shall understand and you won't make me loose time as it has already happened to me.
If you have any question please don't hesitate to reply.
Thank you again for your interest
2nd email:
Hello,
As I told you in my first e-mail, I am in Scotland, United Kingdom with my work. Before leaving US I had prearranged the deal with www.MoneyBookers.com so my presence in US isn't necessary. The car is in their warehouse ready for delivery. You have 10 days to test and inspect the car. So if you want to make this deal I need the following details from you:
*Full name and address
*Shipping address
*Phone #
After I will have all this details I will forward them to MoneyBookers and I will proceed the order. MoneyBookers will contact you with all the details that you need to complete this deal and also to see that i am covered by them and that I am legit seller.
Waiting your email with the requested details.
Regards!
