Hi,

The vehicle is still available for sale, price as stated in the ad $27000.It's in perfect working order, no wear and tear, no scratches, it wasn't involved in any accidents.I moved to England with my work but I left the vehicle at a shipping company in Thunder Bay, Ontario.All shipping costs and insurance during transportation are included in the price, I won a promotion(1 free shipping). You will also receive all necessary documents in order to finalize the purchase.Email me back if you're interested and have further questions.

Thanks


My reply:

Thunder Bay? What a coincidence! That's where I live! I'd like to see the car and have a test drive. Which shipping company is it at? Can I send you a deposit by paypal?

Thanks,
Chris

The ad is down now. I was going to email him too!

Hi,

The vehicle is still available for sale, price as stated in the ad $4400.It's in perfect working order, no wear and tear, no scratches, it wasn't involved in any accidents.I moved to England with my work but I left the vehicle at a shipping company in Thunder Bay, Ontario.All shipping costs and insurance during transportation are included in the price, I won a promotion(1 free shipping). You will also receive all necessary documents in order to finalize the purchase.Email me back if you're interested and have further questions.

Thanks

 

That's an interesting point. They try to find a balance between being obviously fraudulent and plausible, so that the 'less initiated' will buy it and the 'clever internet users' will troll them as though the sellers are stupid, making the trolls easy to spot.

It's actually brilliant.

 

Wow!
Talk about showing no fear!

 

hi everyone- some guy keith nolen 35; is trying to sell as pick up truck waaay too cheap, i googled his name andit brought me to this site, does he actually get $$ from anyone,?? he has my email address from my initial reply to his ad on kijiji... i hope he cannot gain access to me somehow? any thoughts plz are welcome,
thanks

 

No worries dude

 

He's also listing a Pathfinder on AutoTrader. Same price same story.

 

Speaking about cars and internet scams... this ones a little off topic but interesting as hell.

Regarding a 2000 Mustang located in Thunderbay. It's a scam Product never showed and no response from Keith. Going down to file the police report. If you see this guy on E-Bay/AutoTrader, report him. $3800 SCAM.

Sorry for the late reply, I was waiting to give you the arrival date directly. I started the shipping this morning, I'm waiting to receive the arrival date. I think it will be tomorrow. I'll let you know of any updates.
Thanks,

Hi Keith, this is the confirmation that I received after sending the wire transfer this morning. My bank had trouble trying to figure it out as they had never done an e-bay transfer before. You should be getting confirmation in the near future.
