I’m pretty sure this is a scam, but i’m not positive?

I was looking at autotrader.com and I found a car that I was interested in, I emailed the seller (private seller) for more information and got this as a response. It sounds like a scam.. But how can I be sure?

This was the response:

Hi,
All I can say is that some recent events in my life made me change
my perception of certain things, things I’ve never considered
important in the past. My wife is very sick and I want to tell you
that I am not selling this car for profit. I sell the car to help my
wife and to help other people who are sick, I will donate a part of
money for medical research. I’ll be back home at the end of March but
we can close the transaction safe for both of us through eBay. I can’t
meet you to show you the car, but I can send you more pictures and
details. I hope that is fine for you. I can ship the car on my expense
to your location. If you want to buy the car, send me your full name
and delivery address and eBay company will contact you with all the
details regarding this transaction ( the invoice and payment details
). If you agree with my price and my terms I am ready to reserve the
car for you.
The car has clear title. The condition of this car is incredible.
The paint is in perfect shape. There are no dings, scratches, damage
on the body or rust. This vehicle has been very well maintained and
kept both smoke and accident free.
I am waiting for your email.
Thank you,
The car is listed in the same state im in, Connecticut in a town not far from where I am. I have no problem traveling the distance to see the car, I didn’t send any money and never would without seeing the car and meeting the person. (I am not a fool)

My husband is on navy deployment and he hasnt emailed me for 2 days now which isnt normal?

He told me before he left that sometimes email gets shut down before they pull into port and not to worry if this happens but I worry anyway. Is there any other reason they would shut down email on the ship?

3-4 business days? Please help me =)?

I ordered this dress Saturday night. I got an email saying that the order has been processed and that they would send another email saying when the order has been shipped. We ordered it 3-4 business days..when do you think I will get my order? When do you think they will even ship my order?? I ordered the faster shipping because I wanted this dress for my birthday which is Sunday.

The order is from urbanoutfitters. Is that usually a slow shipping place? Aahh.

Hello John,
Yes the item is still available. The price is $80. I hope you are aware that I am in California. If you are still interested in the item I would be more than happy to make arrangments for the sale. Please know I have others who have contacted me about the item also, so I need to know if you are seriously interested ASAP.

To answer your questions
Yes I am the real owner. I purchased the item last December (2007), and she never really used it. As for the condition: It is in great condition. As I mentioned to you before, my daughter hardly used the dollhouse. It comes with origianl accessories. Fully assembled. I will not be able to take the dollhouse apart, so any shipping arrangments you make will have to be for the item as it is which is approx. 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide.

The price is $80.00 and you would have to pay me the estimated shipping cost, so I could ship it to you.

Please let me know if you are still interested : )

Sandra

Thank you this sound good to me, The reason for sending you this email is to make final reconfirmation. Regarding the shipping, I have a Shipper Agent that takes care of the pickup of my consignments for me and ship to my destination in Lutz Florida.

More so, you will be receiving an overdraft Cashier’s Check from my Associate which will cover the money for the pickup of all my consignments that has already being in transit with my shipping agent and the sale cost, then they will also be coming for your own pick up. So as soon as you received the Check and pay the check into your account, then deduct the money that is meant for the sale of the item and then you effect the balance to the shipper Agent that handles the shipment this should be sent to the shipper by Money Gram Transfer/ Western Union.

Below details needed for issuing the Cashier’s Check.

(1) Your Full Name
(2) Mailing address City,State,Zip Code, no p.o.box please
(3) Your direct telephone number both home and cell.?
{4} Acceptance of my offer
(5) Last price as prescribed on craigslist:

Once I have the details, the payment will be issued out on Monday by my Associate and tracking number will be given to you. Hope to read from you immediately you received this email.

I will also offer you an extra $20 for keeping the purchase for me till the shipper comes for the pick up and take the sale off the advert.

I will be looking forward to your swift response.

Best Regards,
John .

Buying this dog off craigslist does it sound like a scam?

This is the email she sent me:

Hi there,
thanks for the mail. Jack and Daisy and Princess are
the three available dogs out of four (a male and two
female). They are hand raised and home trained with
all papers, has been fully checked, Akc reg and have a
good relationship with other pets and well trained
too. They are ready to go for adoption with free crate
and toys. I am looking for a good home and will meet
up any requirements if need to be shipped. They will
also come with a pedigree. They are 10 weeks old and
will be going out for $200 for each shipping included
and a free crate and other accessories. I am giving
them for adoption because i just got here for a new
job and the job requires a lot of time so i
immediately realized that they are going to be lonely
and as you know perfectly well that they are delicate
creatures and need a lot of love, care and devotion
and that is why i have decided to give them out to a
loving and caring home where they will be loved and
will be given all the time they need. So if you are
interested, get back lets see how they get home. where
are you located and How soon do you want the dogs? and
if needs to be shipped, then get back to me with your
full names and the name of the closest airport to your
location so that i should contact the shipping agency
right away for flight reservation. Also include your
phone number and your full home address if you will
like to have them delivered directly to your house
because right now, i am in COLORADO SPRINGS
and they will be coming from here ok.
References available get back ASAP.
Awaiting your reply

Why cnn.com never covers stories like 419 scam. I am a victim of this and know about others. Someone is always

The 419 scam is where people from Ghana and Nigeria send you an email saying they have your consignment ready and will ship it to your destination as soon as we can send 550.00 for registering it. They then send a so called diplomat and you meet him and it is then they tell you due to local regulations you need a Anti-laundering certificate and it will cost 4600.00 they will then show you a sample of the money and then leave with the funds and it’s over. Also I have been stupid twice as I feel for the Black Money scheme and it was not a good deal so far and of course the last I have lost 8000.00 dollars. These people are very convincing. Now why doesn’t CNN ever cover stories like this and help us victims of these scams.
