Antonia. [email protected] is a big fraud. Yes, I am an idiot for believing in people, but this can happen to anyone. I found out that this happened to 2 other people as well.
I was looking for a vehicle because I didn't have a car for college. We looked online for cars and found a 2005 vehicle for less than $2000. We couldn't believe it so we contacted the person in this case Antonia Harris and this is what they said (apparently they have scammed people with the same lame excuse:
Hi,
The car is in perfect condition, no electric problems, no accidents/liens/loans. No scratches, never been repainted. I have all the car manuals, title, documents. I'm selling this car because my child of only 19 died 4 months ago in a car accident, a drunk driver hit him and his fiancee. He was with his fiance's car coming to our home at his little brother birthday of 10 years old. The car belonged to my son and it brings me bad memories and that's the reason I want to sell it. The last price is $1,934. Me and my husband travel a lot with our business and we want to make this deal through eBay's Buyer Protection Program. I just need your full name, full shipping address, home/cell # so I can open a case. (with no further obligation or fees). EBay will contact you with all the Transaction/shipping details you will need. We will take care of the shipping so don't worry.

Overall we were scammed. I am a college student. I have no idea what to do. Western Union won't do anything. Nor my bank. Nor the police (which have tried). Everything is ruined. I have a $2000 loan and no car. Things happen to us so we can see NOT to TRUST ANYONE. So we can see how much we love God and how much we love our family how close they will be to us. Do not let this happen to you. We were naive, but do not be that dumb person. These individuals will pay, but for now we have to suffer. Blessings to all.
