Fake. I see these all the time. Some variation on a them. Almost all want a super low selling price, but you have to wire or send them half up front. Almost always going out of the country, etc.

If it sounds lit it is too good to be true, then it is. Don't trust Craig' List.

Sounds like a "form letter" reply. Why's he using the ebay vehicle seller protection stuff on c'list? That just screams scam all up and down.
Any legit seller would accept a check from a bank if the buyer had to finance or at least go with you to the bank, or something. It just doesn't sound right. |

Of course it's a scam.
They use a fake "eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection plan" escrow "for both your protection", you send money in escrow to the fake "eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection plan" you never hear from them again or see the (imaginary) vehicle. |

That how I thought they would pull it off. I might try to get them to send me a link to the fake site..... Any way to bust this dickweed? |

Bring a friend, tell them they bring the jeep and clear title, you bring the cash. Meet in a well lit populated parking lot.
Watch them tell you that just won't work and you will still have to use "fleabay" to do the transaction first. If he's out of country, how would he sign off on the title?

Told the seller that I would like to see the vehicle in person and if I like it, I will meet them at XX Bank tomorrow and do the transaction there. With multiple friends of course & interlocking fields of fire.... 
I don't expect an email back. |

I'm aware of that, which is why "I don't expect an email back." Is there anything I can do about this other that flag the post on craigslist? |

Hahahahahaha............
Check this shit out.... The price of the Jeep $2,850.00 includes all the shipping and handling costs. The vehicle is located in Helena, MT at a shipping and storage facility ready to go. If you decide to purchase it, you will receive all the documents of the vehicle (owner’s manuals, keys, clear title, bill of sale) in order to register it under your name. Regarding the payment, I will use only eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection program. If you are interested, this is how eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection program works: - You send me your full name, complete address (I need for shipping) and your fax number. I open a transaction with eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection. eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection will contact you with an invoice regarding our transaction. You will send the payment to eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection and they will ship the vehicle to your location. After you will inspect/drive the vehicle and decide to keep it, eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection will forward me the funds and the deal is done. Basically, eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection will secure the funds until you will receive and inspect the Jeep. You will have 5 days inspection period. If the vehicle is not like described, you will have to ship it back on my expense and they will give you a full refund. This way, you will be able to inspect the vehicle before committing to buy it. In order to move forward, I'll need the following info from you, so I can set up a new transaction case through eBay: 1. full name 2. shipping address Thanks, Julia So I pay them, they send me the Jeep, from MONTANA to FLORIDA for me to test drive, and if I don't like it, THEY pay for return shipping and give me a FULL refund..... WOW.
Seriously, is there any way I can bust this doucher???? Or I think I might play along..... ideas? |
