Hello there,
I found this ad on craiglist and was wondering if this could be a true ad. I don't live in the US.
The ad:
http://fresno.craigslist.org/ctd/1761920910.htmlthis is the following mail he send me when i asked for more pictures of the car:
Hi,
I am selling this car because my platoon has been sent back to Afghanistan and don't want it getting old in my backyard. The price is low because I need to sell it before June 15. 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 car has 1,223 miles, year 1970 and VIN BS23NoB279274.
It is still available for sale if interested, price as stated in the add $13,800. The car 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.
P.S. Please do not reply if you don't have the money or If you need a loan.
Thank you!
Steven Williams
He didn't send me the pictures I asked for, so i mailed him again:
Steven,
could you send me more pictures of the car? And why did you post the ad on craiglist with the place Fresno, CA when in fact the car is located in Great Falls, MT?

http://claspics.com/578/380240 I have posted the vehicle in several cities in order to get a fast deal and that's why you found the vehicle placed in a different location. As I've told you , at this moment I am in Great Falls, MT in a military base getting ready for Afghanistan. This means that I do a special training program and I am not allowed to get out of the unit or give calls whenever I want. The shipping can't be a problem because I can do it at no cost for you.
eBay is the third party involved that will offer protection for both of us .Let me tell you how we will make this deal:
1.You will have to give me your full name and shipping address and I will open a case.
2.You will be contacted by eBay
3.You will send the money to eBay
4. I will start the shipping process
5.In 5 or 6 days the car and all the documents that you need to pass it on to your name will arrive at the address that you provided to eBay
6.You will have 5 days to inspect and test drive the car
7.If there are any kind of problems with the car which I don't think will be the case, you will be fully refunded and I will take responsibility to pay around $200 to ship it to the closest eBay warehouse until I find another buyer.
The payment you make will be kept by eBay until you receive and inspect the car.There is no risk in this deal.The transaction is simple , so everything should go as planned.I have to tell you I will sell the car to the first one who starts this deal by making the payment.
Have a good day and hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks!
With all do respect I still think that some nigerian people are behind the ad. What do you guy's think?? I don't fully trust this opportunity...
