I received this information from someone who found a horse trailor for sale.
Horse Trailer advertised on freehorseads.com unbelievably low price (of
course raises suspicions right away - $10,000 trailer - "never had a horse
in it" for $2350 - seller pays all shipping - from Texas to Ohio - way too
good to be true...)
I followed up with seller - originally posted on the Free Horse Ads web
site as being in Ohio. However, seller has "just divorced and moved to a
new job in Texas" - got trailer in divorce proceedings and does not have a
drivers licence (Sounds like they probably use this line in selling cars
via scam as well). Not available for calls or for trailer viewings - too
busy - will not return a phone number for contact.
Got emails from "ebay" with the following web site addresses - obviously
not ebay since these are European email addresses
eBay Invoice <ebay-inc@protectionprogram.co.cc>
ebay-inc@protectionprogram.co.cc.
Said I would receive an invoice from ebay - and transaction would all go
through the e-bay vehicle protection program. Note - if the transaction
does not go through ebay then the Vehicle Protection Program does not
apply!!! Also - from due diligence - ebay uses pay pal - not Western
Union. I received the following invoices - asking to wire money via
Western Union - a classic scam because there is no protection to get refund
or protect payment if you use Western Union. Here are the two emails I
received: they have ebay logos and pictures and art all over them that may
not be visible below.
The scam is not very sophisticated - they have an incorrect description of
the "vehicle" and some of the info does not make sense for a horse
trailer...
Hope this helps others...

This scammer is using the spoof email address:
Google Checkout support@secure-checkout-process.com
and asking for payments to the United Kingdom using Western Union.
The scammer is using this site to show images of the Tacoma to his intended victims:

Body type: Pickup truck
Transmission: Manual
Fuel type: Gasoline
Engine: 2.7L I4 SFI
Country of Assembly: United States
Exterior color: Silver
Interior color: Gray
Mileage: 63,119 miles
4 wheel drive
THIS TRUCK IS AS CLOSE TO NEW AS THEY COME .
IT IS A 4X4 IN EXCELLENT SHAPE.
THE 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION CHANGES PERFECT, THE 4X4 WORKS PERFECT.
IT HAS THE 2.7 4CY. MOTOR GETS 24-26 MILES PER GALLON .
IT HAS TOWING PACKAGE, I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE TRUCK.
LET THE PICTURES TALK FOR THE TRUCK.
I have a folder on service records from toyota dealer ship. And I do have title in hand.
Here is some of the text in the emails he is sending people:
(notice how he plays the intended victims)
Let me know if you received the invoice from Google. Please check your bulk or your spam folder too
Please let me know if you can make the payment today or tomorrow because I have another interested buyer and I want to finish the deal this week!
I forget to tell you when you will go to the Western Union office if the agent from Western Union will ask you where you send the money you must tell that you send the money to a friend or a relative because if you will tell that you send the money for an online purchase the Western Union will extra charged both of us with 10% from the entire amount which means around 600$! I am not willing to spend some useless money!
Also you have to pay a normal transfer fee at Western Union which is around $140!
I'm waiting your email after you will made the payment!
PS: I HAVE ATTACHED COPY OF MY ID !!! (see above)
At the moment I'm stationed in a U.S. air force base in Cambridgeshire, England, making final preparations before deploying to Afghanistan with the U.S. Convoy.
The truck is already at our Military Logistic Department from Fort Wayne,U.S. Air Force base in IN, sealed and ready to go. The Logistic Department will deliver the truck to your home. Since the truck is in an air force base, and you can't go there to take it, only the Logistics Department can deliver it, because it's in their custody. Shipping may take anywhere between 1-3 business days depending on the destination.
All documents you need for ownership, service book, manuals and bill of sale,the title, will be provided along with the vehicle.
For the payment I would like to use Google as a third party. They will keep your money into a protection account until you get the vehicle and will release it to me after inspection period is over and you agree to keep the truck. So, this is not a blind transaction, you can see the truck before committing to buy and to eliminate any concerns you will have 2 days to inspect it. If you decide not to keep it Google will refund you the money, no questions asked, and shipping back will be my concern. I think this is more than fair for both of us.
I'll start the official procedure, and Google will contact you about this!!!
Again, I want to point out that because I am going to Afghanistan this sale is my top priority and I am looking after a fast transaction, with no delays. That is why I decided to lower the price, to avoid wasting time with negotiations and find a buyer as soon as possible.
Regards
If you want to see more pictures and details with my truck please visit my website :

The price is $2,800 including the delivery fees.
At this moment I am in a U.S. air force base getting ready for Afghanistan. This mean that I do a special training program and I am not allowed to get out of the unit or give calls for the next 2 weeks.The truck is already at our Military Logistic Department sealed and ready for the shipping. The shipping can`t be a problem because I can do it at no cost for you. You will receive the truck along with all the documents including title, bill of sale, full service records and more .Because it is a large transaction we will complete the deal only using an authorized third party like Google Checkout.In this way both of us will be 100% covered during the steps of this transaction.The payment will be handling by Google Checkout and you will benefit of 2 days inspection period (test drive) and the option to accept or reject the truck on my expense.
If you would like to move forward with this deal send me your full name and address where you want it sent and we can start the transaction.

Subject: Re: truck for sale
Hi (me) and sorry for the late reply
I'm emailing you regarding the blue 2003 Chevy S-10 ZR2 pickup truck (4.3L V6 gas engine, 4x4 automatic) that I have for sale.
I'm a PFC in the US Army and bought the truck while I was serving at the US Army Reserve Center in Orlando, FL.
Truck is in very good condition as you can see from the pics. Miles are a little over 87k (87,176) and has never been smoked in! It is accident free with clear title in hand and I'm the 2nd owner. Has never been abused and is in great shape. It has automatic hubs and the 4X4 works flawlessly. Truck has been maintained regularly and does not leak any fluids, miss or smoke.
I have never had any problems with the truck at all, its always kept clean and oil has been changed every 3500 miles.
For more details/pics of the truck please follow the web-link below:
WWW(dot)2003-CHEVY-S10(dot)PAGE(dot)TL just replace (dot) with . when pasting it into your browser
Price was reduced to $2,950.00 (not negotiable!) as I need to sell the truck before leaving with my platoon for Afghanistan. If you want to buy it please make sure that you have cash available, NO trades!!
Please note that I want to be assured of both serious intentions to buy and availability of funds prior to securing the sale, therefore the whole deal will be handled through google checkout which will act as a power of attorney. This way both buyer and seller will be 100% covered during all the steps of this transaction.
If you are seriously interested in this purchase please reply at your earliest convenience.
