Im from california btw

Hello,

I have received your email regarding the 2004 Toyota Corolla S with 103,000 miles on it.
The car is in perfect condition, no scratches on it, no damage, clear title.
The price for the car is $3100 with shipping included. I'm selling the car at this price because I can't enjoy it due to my job (I work as a casino dealer on a cruise ship) and I left the car in Miami/Florida at the shipping company. I'm a single woman and I have nobody close who can use it. The car was my husband`s who loved it very much, but he did not enjoy it as he died in IRAQ 3 months ago. It brings very bad memories to me, I want to get rid of it. The buyer will receive the car with all papers and receipts that he needs to register it to his name. Shipping will be done whit DAS and it will take no more then 2-3 days. I have a friend there who will manage me a low price shipping and I assumed that it is my duty to pay for shipping it.It will be delivered directly to your address.

Anyway, I have to let you know that I want a fast deal so if you are really interested in buying it, please reply with the following information:
-Your full name;
-Your shipping address (street,city,state,zip code)
-Your phone number

The transaction will be done only through eBay so we both will be protected.
I want eBay because as they are the biggest company on the internet I think that we can close this deal fast and safe for both of us. Also I am not very familiar with the internet transactions and eBay is the only one I know. I will look for your email, so that we can move forward with this deal!
Let me know.

Regards,

No it's completely legit, on a similar note I have some land in Florida that I have for sale and I'm selling it at half it's value just because I'm lazy. Please send me $5000 in cash and the 40 acres beside Disney World is yours.

Did you even send HER mail regarding that car? Because if you didn't, you should KNOW it's not legit, because the mail claims to be a reply to a mail that you never sent.

And even if you had, that amazingly long tearjerker/yawner (it's a little of both) she presents is just off the wall.

She also claims that she wants the transaction done through eBay-- if she DOES, then she should put it up for auction there. eBay does not handle transactions that are not put up as an auction or "Buy It Now", etc.

Check out this Craigslist guide on scams (and scroll down to the sample mails if you don't want to read the whole guide): http://www.craigslist.org/about/scams


Please, have a little guile.

Also, if you get mail from a bank official in Nigeria that needs your assistance in moving a large sum of money, that's also a scam.

I'll get back to you on that-- I think I've got a buyer for this oceanfront property I'm selling in Arizona.
