I came across this on craigslist (LasVegas), thought it might be of interest:

on edit: Just a word of caution- the price on this add seems too good to be true. It is either an awesome deal, a misprint, or a scam.

[jrsteffes]

$6400?............Hows that possible???

[bovw]

Typo?

A D90 with 62,000 miles. Yeah, thinking he meant to have a third zero.

That would be way high. Yellow D90 that my buddy has he says they are bringing about $34k in the shape of the one in that ad. So the guy is either grabbing at straws trying to find a chump or doesn't know what he has.

Yup, typically they sell here in the $30~$40,000 range, although I did see one with $50,000 in the window on the dealer's lot. In any case, I'd guess it for sure ain't supposed to be $6,400.

I would be willing to put money on if you email this guy, he would ask for a shipping address to send the vehicle so that you could spend 5 days deciding whether or not you want it. After that time you would send money electronically. If you ask where it is actually located and if you can come actually drive it, he will tell you he works for the gov't or something and cannot get away to deal with selling his pride and joy.

Or something like that...

Seems to be the trend on craigslist anyway. :(

If it looks to good to be true than it probably is...:(

Hello again,
I'm glad you're interested in my car. As I already said in my first email the car is currently located in Portugal. I can have it shipped from here by an US Air Force cargo plane so there won't be any additional shipping costs. Also I can arrange for a truck to transport the car to your home address or, if you like, you can pick it up from the nearest airport in your area. The shipping will take up to 10 days, depending on your location.
The car will arrive with all the papers and documents required for registration and the keys. The clear title and the bill of sale will be already signed by me.
The final price you will have to pay is $6,400. The payment will be done through eBay. They will act as a third party in this transaction. You will send the money to eBay and as soon as the payment is confirmed they will notify me to proceed with the shipping. I will ship the car, you will receive it and will have 5 days for inspection, both the car and the paperwork. During all this time eBay will hold the money. If you are satisfied with the car and decide to keep it you inform eBay about this and they will release the money to me. If the car is not as advertised and decide not to keep it eBay will refund you the money, no questions asked, and shipping back the car will be my concern. I think this is more than fair for the both of us.
Please take into consideration that I will get paid only after you receive the car and make sure everything is as agreed.
If you agree with these terms and you have the money, send me your full name and the address where you want the car to be delivered and I will initiate the transaction with eBay. You will receive all the transaction details from them.
I will appreciate an answer as soon as possible. Also, feel free to ask me any question you may have.
Thank you,

[Grim Reaper]

Ohhh he ships US Airforce Free shipping. I use it all the time.

What a Tool!

[OverlandZJ]

Theres a website out there which i forget, that will help guide you along as you have fun with scam artists.

Heres one i came across awhile ago.

somethin ain't right with this! I smell fraud.

the pictures don't look like Portugal plus never heard of a USAF cargo plane shipping Land Rovers:sport_box

[grahamfitter]

I played along with one of the "I'll send you a big cashiers check and you give me the change" scams once. I received a courier packet from Nigeria containing a forged cashiers check from a bank in Texas. I took it to my bank to see if they could tell it was a fake and they thought it was real.

Apparently a third of Nigeria's GDP is internet scams. Be careful out there...

Cheers,
Graham

Todays email. I happen to mention I was going to be in Spain and I was curious to know where the truck is.

Hello .

car is located in Entroncamento .
So in order to make this deal i will be needing details requested in my last email .

[Doin_It]

Off thread abit, but having grown up in Nigeria I always love to string along any one of them who sends me a letter/email. I always try, and usually get them to the point of phoning me numerous times with info etc. Here is a great little site that just cracks me up, someone uderstands how they think also - http://j-walk.com/other/conf/index.htm

The majority of them start out of the Netherlands and then lead you on. I know personally of 1 guy who was bilked out of +$50G, even after I told him to not go to Nigeria, which he did on 2 trips. Oh well.............
