Same story. A 20k tundra for sale for $4800.00, he alsmost had me! Already turned him into the local FBI agency...save all of your e-mails! Thats twice this week I was almost taken.....twice! Im just sick!

He almost had me too! Lets all do what we can to stop this!

I knew it was way too good to be true!!!!!!!!uniol208@hotmail.com This is the email they're using now. Typed in the vin# to the car in google and found all of these




Hello,
I`m Sgt. David J Loranty. You have to know that the 2003 Honda Accord EX 4 Cyl Automatic I am selling is 100% working and great looking, no flaws or dents, no scratches or any kind of damage. The title is clear. It has 37,391 miles. The VIN# is 1HGCM56603A136574.  This vehicle engine runs very, very smooth. No electrical problems on this beauty. This detailed vehicle makes the exterior looks like it just came off the assembly line.

As I know that my current situation is pretty special I want the deal closed only through eBay's Buyer Protection Program in order for you to be 100% protected. You will make the payment to eBay and they will hold the money until you receive the car. ONLY AFTER you receive the car and inspect it (for 10 days) eBay will release the payment to me; in this way we are both protected. Anyway i am sure that if you won`t be satisfied with the car i will surely find another buyer in your area and there will be no need for you to ship the car back.
I am located in Madrid,Spain and I was sent here to improve the military relationships between our country and Spain. One month ago, my wife moved here with me and brought the car with her, but now we have to sell it back in the United States because In order to be able to register this car here, I would have to pay very high import/custom taxes. My final price on it is $ 2900. If you will take it for this price, I am willing to handle the shipping. It will be shipped from here by plane with US Air Military Cargo so it will not cost me anything. You will get it to the nearest airport in your area and then it will be trucked forward to your place. You will receive the car in about 4 days. Please get back to me asap if you decide to buy, and include in your e-mail your full name and address where you want it shipped so I can start the deal with eBay. You will receive all the transaction payment and shipping details from them.
Thank you, and have a nice day,
David and Maria Loranty

she sent and email to melux32@live.com and the reply she recieved was also from another email address.

My son saw the same ad, 2006 Toyota Tundra.  I told him if it sounded too good to be true, it probably was..   He kept insisting it was a great deal, so I did some checking and found this web site. It was the same person Sgt Richard Parks in the United Kingdom. They need to be stopped.

i also was about to fall for the same truck you have mentioned. it is too good to be true since the true value of the mentioned truck is well above 23,000. the same person is selling severel high end trucs with the same E-mail address with different first name@gmail.com. among them a 2005 GMC denali,2006 toyota 4 runner, 2004 black nissan suv and many more. so it should be easy to trace this person for those who have the knowlege of how to do it. because people like that do creat hard ship on other and sometimes divorce. so please nail this guy.

I've copied and pasted the lastest e-mail that I received similar to this one. I was in search of a car for my daughter and responded to an ad on Craigslist.
I sent an e-mail requesting more information, like a military e-mail address form the 'person in madrid' and received no response. Funny, Huh???

Thank GOD for Google!! I thought it sounded too good to be true. And they were trying way to hard with all those pic's!

how can they do this for over 2 years

Regarding Staff Sargent Richard Parks....Still at it as of 5-15-09 on Craigslist.  I looked at Kelly Blue Book .com and the listed Toyota Tundra should be $23,460 and he is "trying" to sell it for $4,800.  He also forgot to list some of the features in the stock photos in his listing.  

***FYI ask for a current dated newspaper next to the vin # and Odometer if serious about online purchases.

If it is too good to be true...  Thanks to this website and blog for helping reaffirm rightfully placed skepticism in humanity ;)

i just found out that this Parks fellow lives in las vegas and also the e-mail address he has been using is through cox. my freind found him and had him reported to the fruad department at cox. when i get his real e-mail address i will share it with all of you.

I too was too suspicious check out what I got from a USAF S. Richard Parks regarding a 2006 Tundra with 25,150 miles worth $4,800?  This goes to say "IF SOMETHING IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS" :

Hi,

Here you can find more pictures of the truck: http://s670.photobucket.com/albums/vv61/cotty_ttoc/
(if the above link does not work copy and paste it into a new web browser window).

The truck has been well taken care of, always kept in the garage.Flawless exterior/interior condition,no scratches and no dents.It has never been involved in an accident.The engine starts and drives like new and the paint looks great.It comes with US clear title which will be signed and notorized in the buyer's name.Have original manuals and all keys.
 
I'm an US Air Force SSgt.currently stationed in the United Kingdom.The truck is here with me. It was bought in the US and shipped to Europe, but it was never permanently registered here, the truck is still registered in the US.The truck is for sale locally as well, but there are slim chances of this to happen. In order to be able to register this truck here in the UK the buyer would have to pay very high import/custom taxes that will double the price. So I decided to sell the truck back in the US.
 
The price is $4,800.00 US Dollars including shipping from the UK to the US and delivery to your home address.So if you decide to buy this truck or need further information please get back to me as soon as possible.
 
Thank you
SSgt. Richard Parks

*So I am suspicious so I write to him and his second reply:

Hello,

I am selling the truck for personal reasons.My sister has serious medical problems and we need the money to help her ,that is why I am forced to sell it as soon as possible and for that price.

I will have the truck shipped from UK by an US Air Force cargo plane so there won't be any additional shipping costs. The shipping will take 6-8 days, depending on your location.Shipping will be door to door,to your home address,somebody must be home when the truck arrives to sign for the reception.The truck will arrive with all the papers and documents required for registration and the keys. The clear title and the bill of sale will be already signed by me.

The payment will be done through eBay.You will send the money to eBay and as soon as the payment is confirmed they will notify me to proceed with the shipping. I will ship the truck you will receive it and you will have 5 days for inspection, both the truck and the paperwork and the option to accept or reject the truck.The inspection time period will begin as soon as you sign for receiving the truck at your requested address.During all this time eBay will hold the money into a trust account.So, this is not a blind transaction,you can see the truck before decided to buy it.If you are satisfied with the truck and decide to keep it you inform eBay about this and they will release the money to me. If the truck is not as advertised and decide not to keep it eBay will refund you the money, no questions asked,and shipping back the truck will be my concern. I think this is more than fair for the both of us.Please take in to consideration that I will get paid only after you receive the truck and make sure everything is as agreed.

If you agree with these terms and you have the money, send me your full name and the address where you want the truck to be delivered to and I will initiate the transaction with eBay. You will receive all the transaction details from them.I will appreciate an answer as soon as possible.

Thank you!
Richard

*This sounds too familiar.  I'm glad I did some homework*

I'm thinking you and I are both a victim of the same thing.  I just posted what I received today and yesterday.  I'm glad I looked more into this.  I saw the ad on Craiglist for Milwaukee yesterday and now TODAY it's not listed anymore?

I almost fell for this as well. Here is the response I received from a craigslist ad:

In order to be able to register this car here in Italy the buyer would have to pay very high import/custom taxes that will double the price. So I decided to sell the car back in the US.

The price is $11,000.00 including shipping from Italy to the US and delivery to your home address.

So if you decide to buy this car or need further information please get back to me as soon as possible.

my girlfriend found that toyota tundra today and called me and it sounded ridiculous and we were going to go to the bank tomorrow to get a check and she googled richard parks and all this came up so im very happy she decided to google this prick,i hope he gets caught,

I have been talking to this guy via email about the 2006 tundra listed on craigslist for 4800. He is going by the name SSGT Richard Parks, stationed in the UK. I have given him my name and address but have not sent any money. He claims to be making the transaction through ebay but I have not sent money in any kind of way. Also, Is there anyway we can get this guy since he is still waiting on a transaction. Let me know by posting asap. We have not spoken by phone.
