FBI Warns of Online Car-Sales Scam
Scam artists pose as military personnel about to be deployed
March 9, 2009

Scam artists are now posing as members of the United States military in a new ruse to dupe consumers buying vehicles on the Internet, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) warns.

These scammers claim they’ve either been sent overseas to improve military relations or need to sell their vehicles “quickly and cheaply” because of upcoming deployments to Iraq or Afghanistan, FBI officials say.

This is a new twist to an old scam that continues to rip-off unsuspecting consumers buying cars and other vehicles on the Internet, the FBI says.

“Victims find attractively priced vehicles advertised at different Internet classified ad sites,” the agency warns. “Most of the scams include some type of third-party vehicle protection program to ensure a safe transaction.”

After consumers receive what the FBI calls “convincing e-mails from the phony vehicle protection program,” they are told to send either the full payment -- or a percentage of the payment -- to the third-party agent using a wire payment service.

“No vehicles are delivered to the victims,” the FBI said.

Consumers can protect themselves from getting taken in one of these schemes by doing their homework before buying any vehicles on the Internet, the FBI said. Consumers should also know and follow the rules used by the Internet sites they visit. If someone asks you to break those rules, the FBI warns, that person is likely trying to rip you off.

She/he has a new name now Full of [***] no I mean Leslie.  No one in their right mind should think this is real.  I reported them to ebay though I doubt it does much good.  Hope no one falls for this.

VIN# SALSH23486A940375
The car is already at the shipping company in Miami, Florida sealed and ready for shipping. I have a contract with eBay so this deal must go through them. I'm very busy with my job and I`m left out of town so I can't meet you in person, so this is the reason why I chose to sell my car over the Internet.
Here is how it will work:
1. First of all I will need from you is the following details:
- Full Name
- Full Shipping Address
2. After I will receive the info, I will forward them to eBay.
3. They will process your info and will send us both invoices. eBay will send you the details on how to make a refundable payment.
4. They holds the funds until the car is delivered to buyer , inspected and the buyer confirms that he received the car in the described condition.According with the eBay you have 5 days from the time you receive the car to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not.
5.If you for any reason will not like the car (but i assure you that will not happening) eBay will refund the money and I will instruct the shipping company to store the car until I will find a new buyer.Is not necessary to ship the car back .
If you wish to make the transaction, please send me the necessary info so that we can proceed. I look forward to hear from you.

Thank you,
Leslie

IS THIS A SCAM?

We have a deal for $4,150. I told you from my first e-mail that regarding the price, I am selling my car because at this moment I have real financial problems.  
As I already said in my first email the car is currently located in UK but still registered in US, so you won't have to pay anything since it have a clear US title, no lien.
Also, the car is in perfect working condition and it was never been smoked in.

I can have it shipped from here by an US Air Force cargo plane so there won't be any additional shipping costs. Also I can arrange for a truck to transport the car to your home address.
The shipping will take up to 7 days, depending on your location and you will have 10 days test period. The car will arrive with all the papers and documents required for registration and the keys. The US clear title and the bill of sale will be already signed by me and also a sale receipt signed at a legal attorney stating that I'm selling you this car.

The total price you will have to pay is $4,150 with no hidden fees. The payment must be done through eBay. eBay Motors will work for us just like a third party, just that the transaction will be faster and also 100% secure for both of us. You will send them the payment, then they will let me know that the payment is OK and I can start the shipping. After the car will arrive to you and you will inspect it, you will let them know that, so they can forward the payment and complete the transaction.

If the car is not as advertised and decide not to keep it (I'm sure this will not be the case) you will ask at eBay for full reimbursement after you will return the vehicle to the expedition company. You will not be charged if you will return the vehicle. I think this is fair for both of us.

Please take into consideration that I will get paid only after you receive the car 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 car to be delivered 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. Also, feel free to ask me any question you may have.

Thank you,
Robert Carew

These are all the exact same ad; sometimes they give an extension for the phone number. It's disgusting really.

i just got the identical email from "robert carew" "stationed in UK", etc.  thank god i googled and found this site.  it would have really hurt to lose almost $5k.  always research, especially if its "too good to be true".  this was a craigs list car sale ad.

NOTE: I'm estimating that between 20-30% of all ads in the major cities are related to this fraud ring. New York, Philadelphia and Washington DC are among the worst. IF IT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT IS.

Yes, I'm obsessive compulsive...

Hi,


The car is still available.It has no scratches or any kind of damage. I am in Jersey City, NJ. Full price is 15.000CAD, shipping included, and all the documents will be provided along with it.The transaction will be made through eBay for the safety of both of us ,through bank to bank Canada transfer so we can be sure of the legitimacy of our deal.I'm a serious seller and a fair trader and I prefer to deal only with a serious buyer..Anyway, I have to let you know that I want a fast deal because I need the money asap and that is also the reason why I am selling it at a lower price... so if you are really interested in buying it, please reply.

This is a new e-mail that I received... total fraud

====> 2005 Cadillac Escalade Luxury 4WD <==== - $4800



Hello,

Sorry for the long email I have tried to touch all bases. More info about the car at the end of this e-mail.
I do not sell my car in payments and I do not trade!!!
This is a non smoker vehicle - VIN#: 1GYEK63N55R219544 - ALL WHEEL DRIVE - clean title -  Actual Mileage: 53630, the car is in my possession from  09/14/2005.
I am selling this vehicle because I need money fast as I have to meet a mortgage payment deadline so this transaction must be completed fast as time is my main priority.
Here you can find more pictures with the car: http://s812.photobucket.com/albums/zz48/harperv33/
(if the above link does not work copy and paste it into a new web browser window)
EXCELLENT condition, clean title; the body and paint are great, no scratches and no dents; the interior is clean; it has never been involved in an accident, clean car fax.

I'm an US Air Force Sgt. currently stationed in UK and the car is here with me. It was bought in the US and shipped to Europe, but it was never permanently registered here, the car is still registered in the US. The car is for sale locally as well, but there are slim chances of this to happen. In order to be able to register this car here in UK the buyer would have to pay very high import/custom taxes. So I decided to sell the car back in the US.
The shipping will take up to 7 business days and you will also have 10 days to inspect and test drive the vehicle from the moment it arrives at your place. There will be no extra or hidden taxes for you to pay since the car is still registered in US. In case you decide not to keep the car I'm responsible for shipping back costs.
As I'm unable to travel in the near future and I don't have anyone back home to help me with  the sale I decided to sell this car through eBay or craigslist.
Our transaction will be entirely through eBay and we both will be covered.
The final price is $4,800 including shipping from Europe 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. I don't want to offend you, but the car is priced for a fast sale so please if you intend to apply for a loan or financing do not reply to this message!
Thank you,
Sgt. James Harper
