Re: 2005 Toyota Tacoma Pre Runner 4.0L V6 REAR WHEEL DRIVE -- $ 4800‏
From:  John Polovschi (vschn31n@gmail.com)  
Sent: Sat 6/27/09 10:44 PM
To:  me

Hello,
Sorry for the long email I have tried to touch all bases.

This is a non smoker vehicle - REAR WHEEL DRIVE - VIN#: 3TMKU72N75M002346 - Actual Mileage:55213 - clean title
Here you can find more pictures with the car: http://s734.photobucket.com/albums/ww347/vschn31/
(if the above link does not work copy and paste it into a new web browser window)
It is in EXCELLENT condition; the body and paint are great, no scratches and no dents; the interior is clean; it has never been involved in an accident.

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.

I must say that this is a US model car, with the steering wheel on the left side, as opposed  to a UK model, that has the steering wheel on the right side.
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 Motors 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.
Regarding the price, I decided to sell my car because at this moment I have some financial problems and like you know in these times many peoples confront the financial crisis.
So if you decide to buy this car or need further information please get back to me as soon as possible.
Thank you and have a great day,
Sgt. John Polovschi

I got THE EXACT SAME email, word for word, from the scammers. This guy claims to be "Perry Aston, Sgt. USAF". Here's the message:

Jun 23

Hi,

I will have the car shipped from UK by an US Air Force cargo plane so there won't be any additional shipping costs. Also I will arrange for a truck to transport the car to your home address or, if you like, you can pick it up from the nearest airport in your area. 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 car arrives to sign for the reception.The car 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 car, you will receive it and you will have 5 days for inspection, both the car and the paperwork and the option to accept or reject the car.The inspection time period will begin as soon as you sign for receiving the car 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 car before decided to buy it.If you are satisfied with the car and decide to keep it you inform eBay about this and they will release the money to me. If the car is not as advertised and decide not to keep it eBay will refund you the money, no questions asked, and shipping back the car will be my concern. I think this is more than fair for the 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 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

Funny, I did the same thing. The guy is using names of real people from the Armed Forces, which really pisses me off because I am currently in Iraq serving in the Army. I just needed a car for when I get back in a few months and this guy ALMOST got me. I mean I was so close to sending this guy money. Im glad I found out he's a fraud beforehand. He went under the name Perry Aston, Sgt. USAF.

Also, if anyone has connections with the FTC, FBI, local news stations or newspapers, getting this word out will help put an end to this FRAUD on Craigslist. You'll likely be met with, "Craigslist has that warning on their website," but clearly no one understands how BIG this is and the warnings (although apparent) kind of blend in with everything else. This is NATIONWIDE. Every major city is being hit. It's not just the 4-Runner you wanted; they have every major auto maker covered. It's also very likely a team of people (not just one person) with possible international ramifications.

I m glad that I search for her email before do anything with my money,

I really need a car , and the way they sell is so cheap that I can't ignore . I don't have many money though.

Hah!  The idiot's using the same line to sell a quad in Michigan, that's "currently in Great Falls, MT"  Here's what he told me:

Hi,
I am selling this atv because my platoon has been sent back to Iraq and don't want it get old in my backyard. The price is low because I need to sell it before July 03. It has no damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn't been involved in any accident..I do have the title , clear, under my name.The atv have 700 miles, year 2006 It is still available for sale if interested, price as stated in the ad $2800. The atv is in Great Falls, MT, in case it gets sold I will take care of shipping. Let me know if you are interested, email back.
Regards!!!

hi i was also looking for a car to purchase.
it was supposed to be my graduation present and im so glad i decided to look up some peoples names that i had on my email about cars.
this guy PETER DILLION is a SCAM! he tried to sell me a 2005 altima for $4,100. He said he has to pay medical bills.

ALSO...
PATRICIA TRUMP is a big time scam! i found out on here that she was trying to sell her 2004 Acura bc she needed to pay her mortgage and 2 kids. The price was $3800.

WELL>>> she told me the reason for selling the car was bc she was going to school in Germany. She also said the car was a 2005 NOT a 2004!!! Also she tried to sell it for $4,000 to me!

I HOPE NO ONE BUYS FROM EITHER. THEY ARE BOTH SCAMS...TO THINK I ALMOST FELL FOR THESE TWO!
