Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
I received a phone call stating that I had won a third prize from Publisher's Clearing House. They said I needed to call the number I gave above and talk to Don Choppler. I did so, and he informed me that the call was recorded and monitored by ScamPulse.com. He asked for my name and physical address, which I gave him. He said I had won 950,000.00 and a 2018 Chevy Malibu. Since I haven't entered one of their sweepstakes in a year I was suspicious. He claimed the awards team was on its way to my house; that it had just left Helena, MT and was 10 minutes away. It takes over an hour to get here from Helena, so this was my second suspicion. He started telling me that they had paid the taxes already, when we were disconnected. I called back and he said to wait for him to call me back. He did, and continued explaining that all the taxes were paid on the money as well as the car. The only thing they didn't pay was the Federal Trades Commission and that it had to be paid before I could receive my awards. He kept changing the amount, first saying I had to pay 1% and then that I just had to pay 950.00. I told him I don't have 950.00 and that I wouldn't give him any money. He got a bit angry and said "so you have the money, but you just won't pay it". I told him I don't have the money and hung up. He called back and I told him again that I was not going to give him any money and to stop calling me. He called again, but I didn't answer. He had a foreign accent, maybe Middle East?

I received a call from a man named "Dave Sawyer" who stated his title was "Prized Director". He told me he was calling from Publisher's Clearing House and told me that I'd won $4.5 million dollars, delivered to me as a certified bank check. In addition to that I was going to win an "Escalade Mercedez Benz sports car" and was also going to get $7,000/ month for life. All I needed to do was send a bank certified check for $3,500 to Jack Cook at the Texas address I provided above.
They said that my money would be coming out of New York and, since they money had to be transferred to me in New Hampshire there would be a $3,500 dollar "transfer charge", which was why I needed to send that amount.

He told me we had to go to fedex, usps, or ups to meet with someone, and give them a check for over $900 to pay for insurance for the winning checks. He wanted to set up a meeting at my aunt's house April 6th at 1230pm. He said my aunt's husband had won back in February of 2020 but they couldn't contact him so now they were reaching out to her.

Jerry Walters called and claimed that I won with the Publisher's Clearing House. I thought it was odd because I never entered anything in to the PCH. He claimed that it was because I shopped at a few different places and they convert cash spent into chances to win the sweepstakes. I had apparently won $15.5 million and a Mercedes Benz through this. They told me they would be delivering the car on that Saturday (they had called me on Friday initially) and the manager would be calling me back to explain more details. I had to leave at the time and spoke with the manager on Saturday as they claimed. He said the car wouldn't be there yet as I needed to get a $800 cashier's check in order to get my winnings. I had to send this check to Sam Sterns at 1626 Kings Mill Way APT 113 in Madison Wisconsin, 53718.

Man called with a somewhat thick accent. Said he was from Publisher's Clearing House. I told him that I hadn't entered and he said it was because I had paid my bills on time for a long time in Alaska. He insisted that it wasn't a scam and that it really was PCH. He gave a lot of names of people that were going to come by the house and what my winning ticket # was. It took about 15 minutes for him to get to where he said I needed to take 1 percent of the winning amt ($850) to the local post office; then the official papers would be maintained in Anchorage. Then they would send a check for the remaining winning amount. He sounded more and more fishy as time went on. After about 20 minutes on the phone with him I hung up. he did not call back.

Unfortunately I did not write down the phone number used by this scammer. He was doing his best to hide his foreign accent but called me Mr. Nancy Williams and couldn't pronounce Lincoln. His voicemail message was telling me that I had won some ridiculous amount of money, $14.5 million I think, and a Lincoln Navigator. I laughed. I was to call a number to claim my prize. I did not write that number down. If he should happen to call again, I will note the numbers.

A "restricted" call came to my cell phone. When I answered, the caller identified himself as from PCH and told me I was one of 3 phone numbers in Idaho selected to win 3.5 million dollars. I questioned why they were calling instead of showing up at my door. He said they had to make sure I was home and that they had to complete this today. I told him I didn't want to waste my minutes answering his questions and that I was sitting at a Drs. Office. He wanted to know how long I would be there...can tell he's not been in a Drs. office very often. He just needed to know a few things...just then the Dr. came in, so I hung up. Within a minute, I recvd another call which I immediately turned off.

Received a call from a Susana Duncan from Publishers Clearing House. She said I won $255,000 plus a Mercedes. She transferred me to a Matthew White who said someone would be coming to my house to deliver the prize. They asked for my package number, so that they could send my information to a lawyer. Then he asked how far away I lived from a Walmart so that I could fill out a form with 6 easy questions and then get a money gram for $610 to send to them. He asked if I was dressed and ready to answer the door for when the money arrives. He told me I had to have cash and give a money gram number to them.

The person called and I did notice that it said "No Caller ID", otherwise I would not have answered. They said his name was "Joseph Kennedy", and said they wanted to know if I would be, "home today to receive the $2.5 million from publisher's clearing house".
He very carefully had me write down his name, the company, a "Prize confirmation #" along with the prize they were going to deliver today of, "$2.5 million, and a Perl White Mercedes 2016 E class". and then asked me to repeat everything he had told me to insure I had written it down. He then said he needed to ask me some questions to verify xyz. He asked if I was married or single, I decided that was pretty easy information to obtain, so I told him married. He then asked my age, at which time, I asked why they would need that. He abruptly hung up on me. I was crushed! :-).
Incidentally, within 5 minutes of that call I received a text from [email protected] saying (Wells Fargo: Your Debit Card is restricted. (No:my cell phone number) Visit wellsfargo.com-9.eklnmx.com/ and unlock it now. Of course I have no wells fargo account so it is obviously a scam as well. I suspect the two are connected.

Reporting a phone scam in Columbus, Ohio--
Yesterday my mom received a strange phone call from an apparent phone scammer. The man on the phone said he was from Publisher’s Clearing House, and my mother was the big winner. Supposedly, the team members were close by and wanted to come right over. FIRST, though, he had some questions for my mom
to answer. At that, luckily, my mom hung up the phone. I checked online about Publisher’s Clearing House Sweepstakes and found that they never notify a winner by phone. This call sounds like a scam to me. I thought this serious enough to contact your office.

There is a person that can contact you when you ask about their craiglist list regarding an RV, this is their first email contact:
email address: [email protected]
Thanks, nice to finally be able to reach you directly. I'll continue to
check my junk box just in case...
The exterior is in good shape, no accidents. There are no roof leaks of
any kind. All the appliances are in working condition. It has no
unpleasant odors of any kind (i.e.: pets, smoke, musty, etc.). There
aren't any service indicators or warning lights on. Runs and drives
excellent. Very clean in and out (as you can see in the pictures I have
attached). All maintenance records and owner manuals are available.
Clean and clear title, no liens (ready for a quick sale).
The RV can be seen at the local ASC warehouse. We are selling it through
them because we already purchased a different one and we don't have
enough space to keep the both. This is also the only reason for selling
it. If you are familiar with ASC then you may know what I mean, if not
I'll be happy to walk you through it.
Thank you in advance!
BTW: Please find the pictures attached above.
Janice
They provide you a link where you can see the RV and a very professional website called:
Auto Startak Consigment & Sales
The website provides you to make an account, print the bill of sale and invoice that request that you make a wire transfer, after negotiate with the person and agreed in a price. The thing is that after a few days of email updates of the transaction from the company everything disappear, the website, the phone number doesn't work, a complete mess. Even when you realize everything and try to contact your bank they said there is nothing they can do. I loss $11,500 in this way because I don't see a way to get my money back. Even the person email her us passport and driver license. The name is Dr. Janice Wilkinson from Atlanta Georgia

My experience was a little different.. Found a tractor on facebook marketplace and was invited to join their page and then they asked me to use EBAY Consignment (a website cloned to look like ebay), similar process to pro depot :
1st:
rom: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]
Thanks for getting back! I attached more photos. Nothing needs to be done or changed/repaired.
The tractor is in perfect condition, everything does work as it should with no faults.
I can arrange delivery for £500 or collection next week as I'm away from home. The address for viewings or inspection: Parklands Farm, Reynoldston SA3 1AE
I had it serviced 3 months ago.
If you have any other questions please reply me back.
Many thanks

Yes price includes VAT. As I've told you in my previous email I'm not available this week. I get back home next week on Monday. If you want I can have it delivered at your address or you can come and collect it when I'm back. If you want to buy it payment has to be made now through ebay/paypal, funds will go in to a holding account. You release the funds to me only after you inspect and agree to buy the tractor, otherwise if it's not sold through ebay when I get back home next week you can come to view it and pay for it.
I attached a copy of the V5 so you can see I'm a serious seller and don't want to waste your time or mine.
More details regarding this method of payment: https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/p ... very-terms
Let me know your final decision as I also have someone else very interested.

Had a similar experience with a so called seller "Cindy" who claimed to have a 2006 Fleetwood Tioga 29V on sale. I found the posting on Craigslist and after sending her a few emails she answered that she wants to use some kind of consignment service (not real) from ebay motors services:
here is what she wrote:
From: Cindy T. Stuart
Hello!
I am the owner of the 2006 Fleetwood Tioga 29V. I had it advertised nationwide through Facebook Marketlace. It is still available for sale. It is in great shape. it has no damage, no scratches, dents or hidden defects. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained. It has 79,000 and clean title. It has 6.8L V10 engine, gasoline fuel and automatic transmission. Privacy Curtain, Fantastic Power Roof Vent & Sliding Side Windows, Cabover Bunk Ladder, Driver/Front Passenger Flexsteel® Adjustable/Reclining Suede Bucket Seats W/Armrest, Driver/Front Passenger Airbag Supplemental Restraint System, Custom Dash Appliques. Everything works great, it was recently professionally detailed interior and exterior. I am selling it at this final price of $2,500 because my husband passed away last month and it brings me a lot of bad memories and that’s the reason I want to sell it asap... I also got a new job and moved to Augusta, ME and many other things have priority now so it has to go. I attached you some photos. I want to use eBay Services for both our safety, so if you're interested in purchasing this vehicle just email me your full name, address including the zip code and phone number. I will inform eBay that you are selected as my possible buyer and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure.
I look forward to your answer.
Thank you
Do not fall victim to any consignment or ebay services...usually the persons who try to steal your money are from West Africa so be aware. Hope this will help others because I lost money because I was not informed.

Inquired about a posted Jeep Wrangler for sale on Craig's list. Text to a number and they sent email showing vehicle and instructions for purchase. The email stated the woman who owned the vehicle husband passed away from a heart attack and she moved away to KS and wanted to sell. Said she was using a third party to handle since she was gone. eBay motors sent me an invoice via email requesting purchase price of $1,300.00 to be sent upfront via Vanilla debit card only and the car would be delivered 2-3 days for inspection and acceptance. We would have 5 days to cancel and apply for full refund if not satisfied with vehicle. They offered no other option for payment and said it would be held by ebay until we called back with approval to release funds to seller. I called ebay corporate to check on "ebay motors" and they said that any email communication should contain the word "ebaysupport" in the address and that they accept other options for payment. The customer service rep at ebay corporate advised further inquiry because it did not sound authentic.

I responded to a used vehicle being advertised on cars.com. This vehicle was listed as 'private sale' with phone number listed (614) 682-2399. I contacted and left message at this number. Subsequently I received a text message from this number from 'Melissa Ward' indicating that she would prefer to communicate via email correspondence which she provided her email. After several email exchanges where I indicated my continued interest in the vehicle and requested more information. I received an email with carfax and supposedly copy of vehicle title. I was asked for my personal address - (this person already had my email and telephone number) - at which time I received an email from ebay Motors with an Item Invoice (email: [email protected]). This email provided a customer service number (questions contact eBay Customer Service: +1 (866) 421-9800). The method of transaction requests the buyer purchase 'ebay gift cards' which would provide verification of funds. After contesting the purchasing process - I requested confirmation of cancellation of any agreement (which I never accepted). I asked to speak to a manager - (209) 676-8507 and subsequently will not accept my calls. See attached.

On March 1, 2016 (we) my brother and I entered an agreement with eBay Motors over the internet to purchase a 2006 Toyota Tacoma (4x4) that was on Craigslist. EBay Motors was contacted through the information on Craigslist on behalf of my brother and myself. When we inquired about the vehicle, we were contacted by a party who claimed his name was Michael and he worked in the finance department of eBay Motors and was handling the consignment of the 2006 Toyota Tacoma for the seller by the name of Samantha Crown. The pictures was posted on Craigslist for our viewing. In the interim of this transaction we were given an email address of eBay Motors, a telephone number of eBay Motors, and the sellers email address at that time for further correspondence with both parties pertaining to the transaction and procedures needed to finalize the sale of the truck.
Now this is how the sale was suppose to be finalized for the purchase of the truck. The following is what eBay Motors required of us to do to complete the transaction. First of all, they were contacted and informed of the interest we had in this 2006 Toyota Tacoma (4x4) pickup, and what it would take to purchase and have this truck shipped to Mesa, Arizona. We were then told by this individual named Michael, that there would have to be a $2,000.00 down payment paid by us towards the truck using "One Vanilla" cards, ($500.00/card), and when we got the cards we were to call back eBay Motors and give the 16-digit numbers along with the expiration dates and 3-digit codes on the back to him (Michael) for verification and activation of the cards, which we complied with and then was told that this money would be held in an escrow in the invent that we decided to change our mind about the purchase of the truck, we would have the money we invested reimbursed back to us.
Then he went on to tell us that the truck would be shipped up to Mesa, Arizona (crated) for 7-days, the shipping expenses paid-in-full by the seller for our inspection, and if we decided to keep the truck, to follow-up and send the remaining $1,500.00 in Vanilla cards same as before to total the $3,500.00 that Samantha Crown the owner was asking for the truck to finalize the sale. The shipping costs from the point-of-origin to the point-of-destination and back in case we decided against buying it was to be paid by Mrs. Crown whether we took the truck or refused it.
Now in the interim also of this agreement they came up with a stipulation later on, that the full amount of $3,500.00 had to be paid up-front before the truck was to shipped to Mesa, Arizona and we were going to have to pay the shipping costs of another $500.00 to cover the shipping of the Toyota Tacoma. Well, at this time my bother and myself decided not to meet their demands of the other $500.00 to cover the shipping of the truck to Arizona, and told Michael that we just wasn't going to send anymore money towards the truck. We told him that we met our commitment and now it's their turn to honor their side of the agreement and eBay's policies that they set forth in the agreement. Well, that's when strange things started to happen.
This Michael (who ever he is), had told us that he would get back to us within an hour after he talked to his boss to see if he could finalize the sale as we previously agreed upon at that time. Hours come and went and no call, so we decided to call back to Michael to his contact number we had been conferring with him about the truck for two-days and guess what, you guessed it the number was "disconnected" immediately and is no longer in service at this time. So right then and there we assumed this to be a "scam". Even the VIN# he/she gave us turned out to be bogus after checking it out with the DMV in Nashville, Tennessee, where we believe this scam originated from. The address Mrs. Crown gave us where she resided turned out to be an established business and after talking to the owner he informed me that he never heard of her.
We tried many times to contact this Michael individual and Mrs. Crown since March 3, 2016 by the phone and email information they gave us but to no avail. The emails we send them are being received and do not come back "undeliverable" by celerity mail. The pictures of the truck I took off the internet has since been removed from Craigslist, but I have some very pertinent information as well as the pictures of the truck if requested for.
Thank you for your kind attention and consideration towards this matter.

A person was selling their car that sounded too good to be true. They said they just got into a divorce, which was used to bait us into them selling their vehicle for cheap price. If you call them, they will pick up, but once you have a question regarding when an order will arrive and considering whether you are a buyer or seller, they will hang up on you right away.

I found a 2002 Nissan Maxima w/90,000 miles on Columbus.craigslist.org. The lister was a woman from Buckeye Lake, Leslie Adkins. She said she moved to Omaha, NE and wanted to get rid of the vehicle. She said the vehicle was stored at a shipping location. She sent me pictures of the car. I sent her my phone number because I wanted to talk to her, she said no, we should use email. She was asking $1,000.00. She wanted me to go to CVS, Walgreens, or Rite Aid, and buy an eBay debit card, and give them the security number off the card. I talked to a man in Customer Service with eBay Motors. He said he would hold the funds for 3 days for the vehicle to be shipped, then 5 days to accept or reject the deal. After the 5th day, if I didn't want the car, they would come pick up the car and give me my $1,000 back. The email reads do not reprint or show anybody any of this information as it is very confidential.

I inquired about a truck on Craigslist Fort Wayne by sending the seller a text after the reply phone number stated it was a text messaging service. I text (260) 216-5435. The next day I got a text message from (219) 627-1061 letting me know they were sorry for replying so late and asking me to email with their personal email address of [email protected]. I did that and they sent me more information on the truck and a link to more pictures https://use.com/ODtHi. The email had believable information that she got the truck in her divorce settlement and did not need it. I was then instructed to let her know if I wanted it and she tell eBay motors that I am purchasing the truck and give them my information. They would then reach out to me with further instructions. “eBay Moters” sent me instructions along with an invoice. They instructed me that the only type of payment they accepted was eBay gift cards and explained how to load them and send with receipt. I did this and even called the number to verify receipt of gift cards and approval. Someone actually answered the fake “eBay motors” customer support line. Later in the day, I looked online and saw the use.com site was used in scams and then found even more evidence that this was a scam when I viewed an invoice that looked just like mine. I am now out $900 that I was going to use to get my son a cheap work vehicle. I called eBay to cancel the gift cards or put a freeze on them but by this time they had already spent the majority of the money on the cards.

I responded to a craigslist classified for a travel trailer priced at $***, supposedly from an individual being shipped overseas. The seller stated the listing had been made through eBay Classified, took my name address and email,
to allow them to contact me for payment. I received a legitimate looking invoice, paid it (stupidly) using prepaid debit cards, and was promised delivery three days later. No delivery on the promised date, but did get a notice that they had to have an insurance deposit ( refundable) same stupidity. I paid the extra $***, was promised delivery the following Monday. No shipment, no contact, and the customer service number went unanswered ( evidently disconnected).
I've communicated the details of this fraud to Craigs list Legal.
At this point, it seems likely that the seller is out a trailer (if there was ever a trailer), eBay Motors ( if it exists) has successfully stolen $*** from me; and the entire fraud could easily have been carried out multiple times, based on the original ad.

The scammer put an advertisement on Craigslist.com for a 2005 Acura TL in perfect condition with 78000 miles on it for $1500. Upon contacting "Diane Stone" (I'm sure this is a false identity, but this was the name provided), I received a sob story of how her husband died 4 months prior and she was about to be deployed (posing as a United States Air Force medic) and she needed to sell the car before she was deployed as to not be forced to pay fees for storing the vehicle for the duration of her deployment. She claimed that she was going to be deployed in 9 days from the date that I contacted her. She told me that she would handle the process of shipping the vehicle herself at her own expense and I would have a 7 day inspection period that at any point in this period I could get a refund and have the car shipped back to her at her own expense. Following this email conversation I received an email from the above listed address stating that I needed to pay using MyVanilla visa cards (3 cards, $500 each) and that it was the only acceptable payment method. I purchased these cards and gave the information to a false eBay motors representative and they sent an email with a false receipt stating the transaction was complete and the shipping process could begin. The next day, I received a phone call and an email, both stating that there was a hiccup in their shipping process and that the company they use had new rules and policies, and that I would have to pay an additional $1000 for shipping insurance that would be refunded in cash upon delivery (which I did not pay, it was at this point that I realized this was a scam). I called the supposed eBay motors representative and informed her that I had found another car, and I would like my money refunded which they promised they would do at any time upon my request, and she told me that I would have to provide my full name and she would call me back momentarily with refund information (trying to get me off the phone so they could block my number). I asked her if there was a way for me to stay on the line with her while she did this and she said there was no way to do that and when I contested this, she hung up. I called back and discovered that my number has been blocked by this person.

I reached out again to them and they told us it would be verified in 10-12 hours and we will receive confirmation. Then they told us another $1000 had to be paid for the shipping. We knew something was wrong. They told us they could return it in five days. They said they would need additional money for insurance but it would be refunded. We told them we knew it was a scam and we would report them to the ScamPulse.com and they hung up. We tried to call the number back and we just got a busy signal.

Hello again, as I told you in my first e-mail, I’m in the army and right now I am located at a military base in Virginia. The car is here with me.
We are training hard and getting ready for deployment.
Before leaving, I prearranged a deal with eBay Motors, so my presence isn't necessary. The delivery process will be managed by me. I think I can have it there at your home address within 2-3 working days.You will have 5 days to test and inspect the vehicle prior to making any purchase. During the 5 days testing period I will not be getting any money.
I need to know if you are interested so I can ask eBay to send you the details regarding this deal.
If you are interested, please reply with your contact info for eBay (full name, shipping address and phone number), so we can get the ball rolling. I will send your info to eBay and they will contact you and send you everything there is to know about how to close the transaction in the best terms possible for the both of us.
You will find photos of the Ford in the attachment.
These pictures are 100% accurate and they represent exactly what you see.

There was an advertisement listed on craglist.com to purchase a John Deere Tractor. The only way of contact was thru e-mail the sellers. The seller refer the transaction to an ebay account. In return ebay emailed back asking for payment thru ebay gift cards. Things got suspicous when ebay asked for payment a second time for insurance for shipping. The gift cards were purchased and then phoned to the number that was listed in the email. I was not aware that it was a scam at the time. But after I refused to pay for the insurance and called the number several times with no responses, it was then when I got the message it was a scam. I looked up Ebay website and got another number and sure enought Ebay confirmed that I was scammed. The real Ebay did not have the order in their system and could not refund me any money.

Saw an ad for a truck in NH Craigslist. I contacted the seller by email and was told she is using EBay. Proceeded to purchase vehicle thru them. First they wanted 1,800 in eBay cards . Called them back(sounded legit) they said they would email us back when the truck will be shipped. Here’s where it gets tricky, they stated they needed another thousand to insure the vehicle in eBay cards and the money would be given back in check upon delivery.So I called them back with another thousand in eBay cards. Once again sounded legit. Then another email from them asking for another thousand. Told them I’m canceling the order and calling the authorities. Never heard back from them again. So I’ve been scammed

Consumer was on Offer UP looking for a car. She found a 2006 NIssan for sale and clicked on it. A woman asked for your email address so that she could send pictures of the car and further information, which was received. The woman who contacted the consumer was Sandra Kenneh, email address [email protected]. She told the consumer that she had EBay Renter's Insurance that would allow her to ship the car from Virginia to the consumer in Ohio to test drive for 5 or 6 days at a cost of $1,000. The consumer was emailed all details and was told that EBay Motors would keep the consumer's $1,000 in escrow until the consumer was able to test drive the car and determine if she wanted to purchase it. If the consumer wanted to purchase the car she would let EBay Motors know and they would send the money to Sandra Kenneh. If the consumer did not want the car the money would be sent back to the consumer. The consumer then received an invoice via email from [email protected]. The email then instructed the consumer to purchase EBay gift cards, telling her that the maximum amount that could be loaded on an EBay gift card was $500. She was then told to send the gift cards to EBay Motors, but provided no address to send them to EBay Motors. The invoice does not list any information or address for EBay Motors. It only lists Sandra Kenneh's address - Sandra Kenneh, 8725 John J. Kingman Rd., #235, Fort Belboir, VA 22060. The consumer was told that once she purchased the gift cards she should email the numbers on the gift cards to EBay Motors.

Advertised an old car for sale on a website; but the item was to be sold and shipped through "ebay motors" That's the part that looked legit. We pay ebaymotors with ebay cards and they would hold the money til the client sent the car and would release the money to the client once we saw it and agreed to the purchase. We sent the money. Then they wanted more for "insurance." That's when we called ebay and found that the webpage "from ebay" that included the purchase form and invoice was bogus!

Type of a scam Phishing
The scammers used the likeness of ebay , issued a confirmation number and invoice for the product I was purchasing to scam me out of $2200 for the purchase of a vehicle that would be delivered within 5 days. The scammer had a "customer service number" that I could call to find out the status of my purchase . The number still works and a person still answers the number and acknowledges you by the your confirmation number. When I ask for the status of my purchase they hang up. They sent me an email and invoice all using eBay's likeness and image so it was very hard to detect until the car didn't show up. I used gift cards as a form of payment and ebay is looking into the scam because they should have the ability to find the gift card numbers and how they were used.

"Nicole ***" *** first contacted me with this email and a bunch of pictures of a car:
My name is *** *** and I want to thank you for taking an interest in my 2005 Honda CR-V at the price of 1500$. Let me give you a few details about it: it's in very good condition with 103,000 miles, it doesn't have any mechanical issues, the engine is a 2,4L 4Cyl, it has automatic transmission, All-Wheel Drive ,no scratches or dents, easy on maintenance costs, extremely reliable. The interior of this car is something I always took care of, the seats/carpet are not stained and we never smoked inside it. The car was never involved in any accident and I have a clear title for it free of any liens or loans. The reason I decided to sell it is because my husband had a heart attack and died two weeks ago and it brings me back memories.
I want to make this deal though eBay since the car is already in their custody in Omaha,NE and I used it before with no problems so if you're interested in purchasing it please reply with your : full name, full address and phone number. After that I will notify them I found a buyer and they will contact you with the rest of the procedure.
Thank you and I look forward for to hearing from you.
Then I sent my name, phone and address and

I got an email saying this person was selling a 2003 Honda Accord for $1500 due to the passing of her husband. It was being sold through eBay. She was selling it from Topeka, Kansas. I was told to buy an eBay gift card and send it in and that eBay wouldn’t make the transaction until I received the vehicle. It was supposed to be delivered to me. I would then have 5 days to test out the vehicle and let eBay know if I was happy with it or not and if I was satisfied and wanted to purchase it then eBay would pay the seller. I was given three numbers, 8008047093, 866-794-9177, 866-446-8204. I dialed the first number and got a busy signal. I dialed the second number and someone answered, and dialed the third one and the exact same person answered the phone. I looked up eBay and called the number I found and they said this wasn’t legitimate. They only take PayPal or an actual credit card. Gift cards cannot be traced.

Inquired about a posted Jeep Wrangler for sale on Craig's list. Text to a number and they sent email showing vehicle and instructions for purchase. The email stated the woman who owned the vehicle husband passed away from a heart attack and she moved away to KS and wanted to sell. Said she was using a third party to handle since she was gone. eBay motors sent me an invoice via email requesting purchase price of $1,300.00 to be sent upfront via Vanilla debit card only and the car would be delivered 2-3 days for inspection and acceptance. We would have 5 days to cancel and apply for full refund if not satisfied with vehicle. They offered no other option for payment and said it would be held by ebay until we called back with approval to release funds to seller. I called ebay corporate to check on "ebay motors" and they said that any email communication should contain the word "ebaysupport" in the address and that they accept other options for payment. The customer service rep at ebay corporate advised further inquiry because it did not sound authentic.

I responded to a used vehicle being advertised on cars.com. This vehicle was listed as 'private sale' with phone number listed (614) 682-2399. I contacted and left message at this number. Subsequently I received a text message from this number from 'Melissa Ward' indicating that she would prefer to communicate via email correspondence which she provided her email. After several email exchanges where I indicated my continued interest in the vehicle and requested more information. I received an email with carfax and supposedly copy of vehicle title. I was asked for my personal address - (this person already had my email and telephone number) - at which time I received an email from ebay Motors with an Item Invoice (email: [email protected]). This email provided a customer service number (questions contact eBay Customer Service: +1 (866) 421-9800). The method of transaction requests the buyer purchase 'ebay gift cards' which would provide verification of funds. After contesting the purchasing process - I requested confirmation of cancellation of any agreement (which I never accepted). I asked to speak to a manager - (209) 676-8507 and subsequently will not accept my calls. See attached.

On March 1, 2016 (we) my brother and I entered an agreement with eBay Motors over the internet to purchase a 2006 Toyota Tacoma (4x4) that was on Craigslist. EBay Motors was contacted through the information on Craigslist on behalf of my brother and myself. When we inquired about the vehicle, we were contacted by a party who claimed his name was Michael and he worked in the finance department of eBay Motors and was handling the consignment of the 2006 Toyota Tacoma for the seller by the name of Samantha Crown. The pictures was posted on Craigslist for our viewing. In the interim of this transaction we were given an email address of eBay Motors, a telephone number of eBay Motors, and the sellers email address at that time for further correspondence with both parties pertaining to the transaction and procedures needed to finalize the sale of the truck.
Now this is how the sale was suppose to be finalized for the purchase of the truck. The following is what eBay Motors required of us to do to complete the transaction. First of all, they were contacted and informed of the interest we had in this 2006 Toyota Tacoma (4x4) pickup, and what it would take to purchase and have this truck shipped to Mesa, Arizona. We were then told by this individual named Michael, that there would have to be a $2,000.00 down payment paid by us towards the truck using "One Vanilla" cards, ($500.00/card), and when we got the cards we were to call back eBay Motors and give the 16-digit numbers along with the expiration dates and 3-digit codes on the back to him (Michael) for verification and activation of the cards, which we complied with and then was told that this money would be held in an escrow in the invent that we decided to change our mind about the purchase of the truck, we would have the money we invested reimbursed back to us.
Then he went on to tell us that the truck would be shipped up to Mesa, Arizona (crated) for 7-days, the shipping expenses paid-in-full by the seller for our inspection, and if we decided to keep the truck, to follow-up and send the remaining $1,500.00 in Vanilla cards same as before to total the $3,500.00 that Samantha Crown the owner was asking for the truck to finalize the sale. The shipping costs from the point-of-origin to the point-of-destination and back in case we decided against buying it was to be paid by Mrs. Crown whether we took the truck or refused it.
Now in the interim also of this agreement they came up with a stipulation later on, that the full amount of $3,500.00 had to be paid up-front before the truck was to shipped to Mesa, Arizona and we were going to have to pay the shipping costs of another $500.00 to cover the shipping of the Toyota Tacoma. Well, at this time my bother and myself decided not to meet their demands of the other $500.00 to cover the shipping of the truck to Arizona, and told Michael that we just wasn't going to send anymore money towards the truck. We told him that we met our commitment and now it's their turn to honor their side of the agreement and eBay's policies that they set forth in the agreement. Well, that's when strange things started to happen.
This Michael (who ever he is), had told us that he would get back to us within an hour after he talked to his boss to see if he could finalize the sale as we previously agreed upon at that time. Hours come and went and no call, so we decided to call back to Michael to his contact number we had been conferring with him about the truck for two-days and guess what, you guessed it the number was "disconnected" immediately and is no longer in service at this time. So right then and there we assumed this to be a "scam". Even the VIN# he/she gave us turned out to be bogus after checking it out with the DMV in Nashville, Tennessee, where we believe this scam originated from. The address Mrs. Crown gave us where she resided turned out to be an established business and after talking to the owner he informed me that he never heard of her.
We tried many times to contact this Michael individual and Mrs. Crown since March 3, 2016 by the phone and email information they gave us but to no avail. The emails we send them are being received and do not come back "undeliverable" by celerity mail. The pictures of the truck I took off the internet has since been removed from Craigslist, but I have some very pertinent information as well as the pictures of the truck if requested for.
Thank you for your kind attention and consideration towards this matter.

A person was selling their car that sounded too good to be true. They said they just got into a divorce, which was used to bait us into them selling their vehicle for cheap price. If you call them, they will pick up, but once you have a question regarding when an order will arrive and considering whether you are a buyer or seller, they will hang up on you right away.

I found precisely the used vehicle that I desired to buy at the lowest price possible. The owner said she was soon to deploy overseas and did not want to pay storage fees for her SUV. She had ten days to sell and would arrange shipment through military transport. If I was interested she would contact middleman Vehicle Protection Program who would arrange escrow payment terms to protect buyer and seller. I was contacted by email with purchase instructions that involved Bitcoin purchase in the amount of vehicle cost of funds. Funds would be transferred once vehicle was in shipment stage. I had problems with the Bitcoin machine and was instructed to buy eBay Gift cards, scratch off code and send photo-copy of receipt and cards by email. There is where I lost my $*** dollars since both the ID # of the cards and the scratch-off code number were on the photocopy that I sent. My next email from Ebay Motors stated that an unknown Tax and added Insurance fee for Oregon car sales to out-of-state destinations had to be paid by car owner and that my $2000 would be delivered to my home where the auto was to be shipped. No cashiers check arrived within 72 hours as stated and the middle-man, as well as sellar, quit answering my attempts to call or email. Both FBI and FTC did not respond to my filing of a complaint. My Senate (Richard Roth) Field Representative (Altie Holcomb) could only offer phone numbers to Consumer Affairs. That office gave phone numbers to Better Business Burael, the Attorney General, and a Legal Service that would assist in the filing of a Small Claims case in Municipal Court.

I really appreciate your interest in purchasing the jeep and I would like to clarify some things 1st of all. I wold like to speak on the phone with you is much easy for me but i have a surgery at mouth and i can't speak for few week. The thing is I'm selling this jeep because my husband passed away not long ago (he was very sick) and and this jeep too much for me and that's the reason why I want to sell it asap I have lot to do...I along with my daughter decided to sell the house and we moved to my parents in Topeka, KS trying to start a new life. The jeep is already at the shipping company ready for delivery. The jeep is there already because someone agreed to buy it, but in the end he never got the loan. For this reason, the shipping is already paid. I will use eBay in this transaction for our protection. If you are not aware of this program, you should know that they will secure your funds and they will allow you to test drive and inspect the jeep before any funds are released to me. The inspection period will be set to 5 days and I think is enough for you to make a decision about the jeep. If you won`t like my car for some reason, you notify eBay and you send the jeep back on my expense. But I assure you it won't be the case. If you want to continue the purchase, please reply with your full name for bill of sale, delivery address for shipping and phone number so I can start the transaction with eBay and ask them to send you the terms of this transaction ( with no further obligation or fees).

We contacted the seller to buy a 2006 Dodge Ram for $2000. He claimed that he was being deployed to Iraq and needed to sell quickly, the reason for the low price. He said we would complete the transaction through eBay's vehicle purchase protection program and the vehicle would be shipped free through DAS. I received an email through eBay instructing us to purchase prepaid Vanilla Visa cards and to put $500 on each four cards. Then we were to email the numbers and security codes of cards along with pics of the receipts. Once received the vehicle would be shipped to us. I researched to see if this was a scam and it appears to be one. I tried to find this transaction in my eBay account and it does not exist.
