Wow,
I came very close to attempting to get a Cadillac XLR from Amber Zimmer.
I've talked to her on the phone several times.  She is an indian woman.
Her number is 402 557-0375
The listing is on cars.com
The person's name on the listing is Evelyn but Amber responded via email at amber71zimmer@gmail.com
The listing states the car is in Ohio but Amber said the car is in Omaha, NE at a shipping company.
She didnt say she got divorced but that she just got a new job and moved to Omaha and needs to sell the car cuz she needs money.  She told me the car was her dad's and she didnt know where he got the car from.
This is a total scam.  Dont buy from her.  Ger her info and look her up on google first.

This lady is currently listing on cars.com a 2008 Bentley Continental GTC for $64,000 in Arizona.  Where are the police?  Someone should try to track her down with this listing so she doesn't rip off more people!

Hi Folks,

So after reading all your stories and may not be the same name or number, i would like all of you to listing to this. She is trying the same thing and same bs story up here in Canada. I saw a nice Dodge Charger SRT8 6.1 27000km for $14000 on Auto trader.ca. I email the seller but didn't get a response back until a few days later. Her name is Ashley Rosenthal and email adress is ashley.rosenthal31@hotmail.com. The car was so call listed as being in Maple, Ontario, so i ask to come and see it. I got an email from her saying she got a new job and moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba to start over and the rest of the story is the same as all of your's. She gave me her phone # 402-557-0375 to ask questions and pay pal phone # 1-877-278-9167 for payment instructions. All sound so good i almost did it, but after doing some research and the help of google it came to an result this was just a scam. I have spoken to her once and when i told it was a scam she hang up. Also i spoke a few times to a indian men at the pay pal # and told him it was a scam, he to hang up. If you also research phone number search 1-877-278-9167 there are a few more clams about the same people. I still keep calling them private and also will be going to the police with this even though i lost nothing, i wouldn't like someone else to lose money. All of you thanks for reading and take care. If anyone would like to email me, please feel free to at johnny.cash38@yahoo.ca

Same as already reported...Amber Zimmer-amber71zimmer@hotmail.com. Phone number 402 557-0375.
1962 Mercedes 190SL, beautiful pictures, $20K less than it should have been. Car is in MA but I got a new job in Omaha and the car is in storage here ready to be shipped to your house. Official looking PayPal e-mail asking me to wire the money via Western Union to a guy in Indianapolis who is a "PayPal Trusted Agent". All a scam. Sorry to hear people sent money. I was within seconds of doing it also.

She now has a post in birmingham on yahoo autos for a 1993 supra turbo for $14,800.   The exact same emails as described in earlier posts were sent to me yesterday.  Im glad I googled her email because I was getting close to doing a deal thanks guys this helped out so much and saved me a HUGE headache!!! She would never give me any details about the car but used the Omaha work story only differece is she never mentioned a divorce.

I am not reporting a phone call. I just have been searching for a Jeep now since August and came across this Burgundy 2009 Rubicon 4 door with only 10 thousand something miles on it, for only 14,707 dollars? So I kelly blue booked it and of course it came up being worth 30 thousand dollars. I immediately emailed the seller. (Which on cars.com didnt have a seller name just said "Rubicon") This happened last night, so all day today I was thinking about this Jeep. I came home and checked my email and sure enough an "amber09zimmer@hotmail.com" had emailed me back about it. Saying all positive things, good condition, free of accidents, clear title. I couldnt help but not believe it... So, I googled her!! And all this popped up... =/ Really dissapointing... That Jeep is beautiful.

In regards to a 2009 Sierra Denali (appx value $36,000)  asking $17,799:

I appreciate your interest in buying my truck. The GMC Sierra is in perfect shape, never been smoked in, without scratches nor dents, and it has never been involved in any kind of accidents. I legally own a clear title, free of any liens or loans,under my name. It has 36,500 miles, for sale at $17,799. The price is below the market as I recently divorced and I don't own a driver's license, therefore I don't need it, so I'm trying to sell it as soon as possible. If you have any other questions, or need more info, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards
Amber Zimmer <amber.zimmer38@gmail.com>


Feel free to email or research this person with vindictive purpose.

Wish I could get my hands around her neck :)

I am so glad I read this. This is an email she sent me. So close to doing business with her.

Hello Rich,
I will respond to your inquires but first please let me explain to you the process of this transaction and you can decide if you want to proceed or not.
I'm having some financial problems and I have to sell it as soon as possible. I'm in Omaha Nebraska but my presence won't be necessary because I prearranged the deal with PayPal. The car is in Omaha at the shipping company, ready to be delivered. The deal includes free delivery and it will arrive at your address in 3 to 5 working days. You will have 5 days to test it and inspect the car prior to making any purchase and if by any reason you find something you don't like about it you can send it back at my expense. If you want to make this deal I need the following details from you: full name, address, and phone#.
Once I have your info I will forward them to PayPal to get things started. PayPal will contact you shortly after they have the details with all the information that you need to complete this
deal and you will also have proof that I am covered by them and a legitimate seller. Waiting for your email with the requested details.
Regards

Hello Everyone,

Thank goodness for Google and the Internet.  I am so glad I decided to do my homework and do some research before I went through with the purchase of a 2008 Mercedes S600.  I saw an ad on cars.com from a seller named Ethan aka Amber Zimmer.  I have not received a phone call from Amber Zimmer but I received the following emails.  Please see the emails below:

Shawn,

as much as I'd love to do it any other way,the problem is it's already at the shipping company right now,because before you I had another buyer interested,and he told me he want it shipped to his place,but then bailed out.that's why I am stuck with it at the shipping and this is the only way I can do it( I am offering to pay for the shipping back and forth,in case you won't like it you can send it back and be refunded).I know it's hard buying something unseen but please keep in mind that your money will be held in a trust fund account until you get it, inspect it and decide to keep it, and released to me only with your approval. Here is the vin WDDNG76X08A172975 and I will also attach the auto-check along with the pics.

Wow!  The things that people will do to scam others out of their hard earned money!  This Amber person is using the email address amber.zimmer81@msn.com

Thank you to Google and all who took the time to post about Amber Zimmer!!!  She did not get me but I was on the hook.  The deal was the same as everyone - too good to be true - Got as far as the first reply from her and thought - I have got to google her - something is not right here.... Then I found this post.  THANK YOU!!!  The car I was looking at has the same description - Perfect Condition...  Right.

THANK YOU FOR WARNING ME!
I responded to an Escalade ESV ad from Amy and Amber replied with this:

I found a toyota avelon on cars.com and send email to contact person Patricia and got email from Amber Zimmer <amber.zimmer68@gmail.com>:

Hello *********,

I legally own a clear title, free of any liens or loans,under my name. It has 18,773 miles, for sale at $15,300.

It is still ongoing! She just tried to sell me an Aston Martin. Thank you guys for being so kind as to share your experience and help others from falling prey. While there are bad people out there like this phony scum, there are more good folks out there such as you guys!

Thank you everyone for your postings. I too have been in contact ( Email of divorce/ no license ) with Amber and by everyone sharing their experiences I have luckily only wasted a little time. I appreciate everyone's postings, Thanks again !

She has a new name now Susan Bransford

I spotted a 2003 Corvette convertible with 6K miles on cars.com for $15,360 and couldn't believe it. KBB values run $25K to $30K. After inquiring via e-mail with specific questions, I received the following message:

I appreciate your interest in buying my car. The Corvette is in perfect shape, never been smoked in, without scratches nor dents, and it has never been involved in any kind of accidents.

*****************
SOUND FAMILIAR?? After googling the seller’s name, I found this site.

I want to personally thank each and every one of you for posting about this piece of scum attempting to scam us! You guys give me hope that there are actually some other decent people out there who don't want to see their fellow man get taken.

It upsets me that there are people like this out there, and I was initially feeling vindictive. I decided I wanted to string this person along, so I replied with the following:

I want to buy your car! May I pay you through Paypal or Western Union? I was thinking that after I pay you, the car can be shipped to me. Can we proceed with this transaction? I look forward to doing business with you Susan!

Hello there,
Please let me explain to you the process of this transaction and you can decide if you want to proceed or not.
As I told you in my first email, I recently got divorced. I also got a new job and moved to Omaha Nebraska in order to start over.  I'm in Omaha Nebraska but my presence won't be necessary because I prearranged the deal with PayPal.

Now this is the point where I stopped. I almost replied with the following to be vindictive and irritating, but I became concerned that this person could send me a virus either on my cell or via e-mail.  The purpose of the following note is not actually to scam a scammer. I'm a law abiding citizen, so I would never do such a thing. I just wanted to irritate that person for being a piece of scum.

If one of you wants to use this note to reply to the scammer, feel free. If you do, I would be curious as to his/her reaction! I'm just too nervous about computer/cell phone retaliation, as I'm not tech savvy. See below and use at will!

I just made that up and wow, I didn't know I was capable of writing scammer-like BS. My girlfriend and I had a nice laugh over this. See below.

Hello-
Thank you for providing specifics surrounding the execution of this transaction.

In order to move forward, there is an additional step needed to close this deal. My grandmother recently passed away, and her legal will stipulates that I am the sole beneficiary of her estate. The funds that I will use to purchase your Corvette are located within a trust account that I have acquired from her estate as part of the terms and conditions in her will. Unfortunately, this account is currently in locked status, meaning I cannot yet access these funds. Per the bank's policy, a one-time minimum deposit of $1,000 from an independent third party (non-employer) must be made to this account before it can be unlocked and accessed by me.

As a result, I will need the following information from you.
Name
Address
Phone Number
Your Bank Institution
Account Number
Routing Number
Once you provide that information, I will contact you with further instructions to transfer $1,000 to my institution to unlock my late grandmother’s trust account. Once I have received funds, I will transfer $16,350 (Purchase Price of Corvette plus $1,000 Refund) to your financial institution.
I look forward to completing this transaction with you.
Best regards,
[first name only]

By the way, I reported the aforementioned Corvette ad as fraud to the cars.com site and included a link to this website as well as the e-mail reply I received as proof two days ago. Cars.com replied with a form letter, but the ad has not been removed. Frustrating!

She also has this email address: amber.zimmer38@gmail.com

Same message as everybody else.  Really PayPal??
