Hi,


As I've previously told you, I'm currently involved in a military program, temporarily based in MD, as I'll be changing it for Afghanistan very soon. Due to military security reasons I'm restricted from leaving the unit's facility under any purpose and have strictly limited phone access. The shipping won't be a problem; military has a considerable discount, so I can handle it by myself, with no charges whatsoever on your account. The car will be sent along with all its documents including title, bill of sale, 2 sets of keys, full service records and everything else you'll need. Because it's such a large transaction, I'd suggest using an authorized third party, as Google Checkout for instance. I've done some research and that's the safest way to do it. That's why, I've taken the liberty to prearrange things with them, using their escrow Google Checkout. I thought you might want to see it there, so I've asked them to allow viewers to inspect the car; but their reply was: "We are not a showroom!" No worries cause I'll grant you a 5 days inspection period (to test drive it) from the moment you receive it, before Google Checkout escrow releases your money to me. The vehicle is located in their warehouse in MD (ready for delivery).
If you are still interested just send me your full name and shipping address. I will forward your info to Google Checkout and they will further notify you about our deal. This way you'll be able to talk to them without any third party involved, and ask all you need to know.
My regards!
Thomas

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know that I already opened the case with Google Checkout about our deal and they sent you a invoice and also the payment instructions, so please let me know when Google Checkout contacts you. Because of the strict policies of the filters of Spam of webmaster, maybe you cannot receive the invoice of Google Checkout in your box of reception. Please check your box of "Spams" or "Bulk" from your email address in order to see the transaction. If you not receive in the next 2-3 hours please email me back.

Thank you
Thomas

Hi,

The selling price for the 2007 Nissan Titan LE Crew Cab is four thousand dollars. I am located in Thomasville, NC and the truck is in perfect condition and there's not even a scratch on it. It has recorded 29,000 miles and everything from the motor to the tires and mirrors is shining and looking new, non-smoking environment inside. It has a clear title, no liens or loans and has an accident free history. TITLE IS IN HAND so the transfer of both title and vehicle will provide a smooth transaction. I've secured my sale through eBay who acts as a legitimate third party in this transaction. As you know eBay is the best company of online transactions and they hold and insure your payment until receipt of the vehicle in good condition. It is ready to be delivered, as I am looking to sell it in a timely manner for my new investment. You have to decide fast because at this price the black Nissan truck is not going to last on the market for a long time.

Thank you,
Sarah

The total price is $4,000 including shipping to your residence. There are no other hidden costs to be paid. If you wish to purchase it, please provide me your full name and the accurate shipping address in order to register the deal with eBay. They will provide you further instructions/ information. Let me know ASAP, so I can set up all the things on my end. Thanks, Sarah

I got hooked when I found the post on Craig's list. Even though I was looking for a vehicle locally (Ohio) the post was there and the truck in MD. I KNEW it was too good to be true. Thank God I didn't jump with both feet like my heart wanted to. I REALLY wanted this truck. My head told me to look a little further so I googled the VIN. Low and behold this scam. ANd I was thanking him for his service to our country. Huh!

Same situation. When I google the vin# I was given that vehicle is at a car lot in Ohio. I live in Indiana. The gentleman selling the car on craist list said the same thing as other people. I have to sell this car cause i'm being deployed. It's terrible that people out there are using the military and a sad story to try and make a quick couple grant. Please don't be sucked in. If it sounds to good to be true it probably is. If you can't meet the person face to face not a good idea. I have bought a few cars from craigs list and ebay, but I drove to where the person was selling the car, test drove it and made my decision then and there. Dont send money to people you don't know. I hope this helps others.
