Hi,
The truck is in perfect condition, no electric problems, no accidents/liens/loans. No scratches, never been repainted. I have all the truck manuals, title,documents. I'm selling this truck because my child of only 23 died 4 months ago in a truck accident,a drunk driver hit him and his fiancee. He was with his fiance's truck coming to our home at his little brother birthday of 13 years old. The truck belonged to my son and it brings me bad memories and that's the reason I want to sell it. The last price is $3,850. 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.
We hope to hear soon from you.

I replied asking to talk to her or Ben and told them I would not agree to anything until physically seeing the truck. Here is her response:

Hi,
Thank you, the unit is located in Vancouver ,British Columbia at DAS ( Dependable Auto Shippers ) headquarters, in the container, sealed and ready for shipping. You will have 10 days so you can inspect the unit. Once you have inspected the unit and decided to keep it, you will confirm your decision to eBay and only then they will re-route the money in to my account, but if by any reason, you won't be satisfied with the unit you can return it back for a full refund of your money. I will take care of the shipping, don't worry. You will receive the unit with all the necessary papers (clear title, bill of sale, user’s manual, insurance etc). Just get back with your full name and full shipping address and I will get everything started as soon as possible, then eBay will contact you with further instructions.

Hope to hear soon from you.

Thanks a lot!
Jennifer Brown :)

Subject: I KNOW I DON'T KNOW YOU BUT I HAVE BEEN DIRECTED TO DO THIS.



Dearest in the lord,My name is Mrs. Jennifer brown; I am a dying woman who have decided to donate what I have to you and also for the good work of God. I am 63 years old and I was diagnosed for cancer for about 9 years ago, immediately after the death of my husband, who has left me everything he worked for. I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to you for the good work of God, rather than allow my relatives to use my husband’s hard earned funds ungodly. Please pray that the good Lord forgive me my sins. I have asked God to forgive me and believe he has because He is a merciful God. I will be going in for an operation in less than two hours.I decided to WILL/donate the sum of $8,700,000.00(Eight million seven hundred thousand dollars) to you for the good work of the lord, and also to help the motherless and less privilege and also for the assistance of the widows. At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls right now due to the fact that my relatives are around me and my health status. I have adjusted my WILL and my lawyer is aware I have changed my will to you and he will arrange and transfer the funds from my account to you. I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others.Contact my lawyer with this specified email: Barrister Victor Carter.([email protected]) and tell him that I have WILLED ($8,700,000.00) to you by quoting my personal reference number Law/chamber/je/nd/WILL/TT453276542/Jrrr/086. And I have also notified him that I am WILLING that amount to you for a specific and good work.I know I don't know you but I have been directed to do this. How I got your contact is by divine directives from God, so you have nothing to worry about. I prayed and thought about this before deciding to WILL this fund to you. Am also doing this because I don’t really think I will be able to make it after the surgical operation. So once again, don’t disappoint me because if you do, then you disappoint God. This is my dying wish.Thanks and God bless.Regards,Mrs. Jennifer Brown.
 
Thanks 505,

I though the email address was familar.

Some old, same old... If it seems to good to be true, then more then likely it isn't...

The search continues... :D
 
Thanks!

Three main points:

Tips that will save you from this scam:
1.eBay does not handle merchandise or hold and release funds
2.make sure the email address on the ad listing and the one you communicate with are the same
3.avoid shipping, deal locally, and meet the seller in person

They advertized it as Winnipeg but all of sudden it is in lock up (sealed) in Vancouver... I really despise people like this... :(
 
I'm 10 min's from the shipping terminal tell them I'll be over anytime they want to have a look!

Hey,

Thanks for the info.

I have a friend that is 10 mins from DAS and is more than welcome to take a look at the truck for me.

Please send me the container info and if it meets his approval, payment will be sent immediately.

I had a scammer selling a truck tell me the price was so low because the truck reminds her of her son that died in IRAQ. The truck was never where it was supposed to be and it was the same type of deal; just send the money and the truck will be shipped to you. $h!t bags!
 
Oh... This was a scam? I read this yesterday and didn't respond because I rushed off to the bank to get he funds. I was trying to jump on a too good to be true deal. Well, I guess I'll just spend the money on a sack of pixie dust I've had my eye on... Or some as seen in TV infomercial..
 
Chirp chirp chirp...

No reply... :dontknow: :dontknow:

Thanks! But, I don't think we will ever hear from them... :mad: I really don't like people like this.

It's very disturbing what some people will try to get away with. :(
