I responded to an Mercedes Benz SUV for sale on Yahoo. I received an e -mail from a Susan Bransford stating that she got divorced and lives in Omaha, NE and needs to sell the car. She send me some pictures and a fake VIN. I googled the VIN and it brought up a similar vehicle for sale from a dealer in Texas. She also told me that the vehicle would be shipped for free and I have five days to check it out and if I don\'t like it return it and her cost. She said that the payment would go thru pay pal and that she has everything arraigned and that paypal would contact me after I provide her my info, like name, phone number and address. it is definitely a scam.
If a deal sounds to good to be true it is.
Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.
I Think Ive got you ALL Beat , , "SUSAN" was trying to sell me a 2008 Lamborghini Murcielago - - for only 77 grand LOL, , its a $250K car EASY , , a Bargain I'd say lol
Heres my emails as follows LOL
FIRST RESPONSE FROM "SUSAN" Hello Jay, I appreciate your interest in buying my car. The Murcielago is in perfect shape, never been smoked in, without scratches nor dents, and it has never been involved in any kind of accidents. I legally own a clear title, free of any liens or loans,under my name. It has 4,101 miles, for sale at $77,396. The price is below the market as I recently divorced and I don't own a driver's license, therefore I don't need it, so I'm trying to sell it as soon as possible. If you have any other questions, or need more info, please feel free to ask.
FROM ME - - You never answered the only question I asked. Where is it located so I can see it ?
From "SUSAN" - - - Hello Jay, Please let me explain to you the process of this transaction and you can decide if you want to proceed or not. As I told you in my first email, I recently got divorced. I also got a new job and moved to Omaha Nebraska in order to start over. I'm in Omaha Nebraska but my presence won't be necessary because I prearranged the deal with PayPal. The car is in Omaha at the shipping company, ready to be delivered. The deal includes free delivery and it will arrive at your address in 3 to 5 working days. You will have 5 days to test it and inspect the car prior to making any purchase and if by any reason you find something you don't like about it you can send it back at my expense. If you want to make this deal I need the following details from you: full name, address, and phone#. Once I have your info I will forward them to PayPal to get things started. PayPal will contact you shortly after they have the details with all the information that you need to complete this deal and you will also have proof that I am covered by them and a legitimate seller. Waiting for your email with the requested details. Regards
FROM ME - Can't I just mail you cash and after you receive it just have the car delivered to me ?
FROM "SUSAN" - - Jay, As I have this agreement with PayPal, the sale is going to be managed entirely by them. As soon PayPal will verify your funds, they will approve the delivery to begin to your address but for that we need to start a transaction at PayPal. Let me know your decision. I look forward to hear soon from you. Thanks in advance
FROM ME - -So you don't want my cash? Ok so send me the car and if all looks good I'll send the payment. You want my address ?
FROM "SUSAN" - - Jay, The car is at the shipping company as I said in my previous messages sent to you and PayPal will approve the delivery to begin to buyer's address only when the payment for this sale will be confirmed with them. Thanks in advance
FROM ME - - -Oh I forgot to ask what kind of pictures can you send me and a copy of the title will help, its in your name still right ?
Jay, I attached additional pictures of the car to this message so you can have a better view on it from different angles and make a better decision about this purchase, unfortunately at this moment I don't have a copy of the title anymore as all the documents of the car are already at the shipping company with the car waiting to be delivered to a new owner. The title is in my name. Thanks in advance
SOOOOOOO "SUSAN" sends me some generic pictures of a sweet Lamborghini CONV no less , , close to a $250,000 car , USED - - - LOL
My LAST RESPONSE since it was just the car no pictures of a title or people , ,
FROM ME - - Do you have any Pictures of you in it ? ? Maybe with your tits showing ?
Think I'll get a BOOBIE SHOT NEXT ? ? ?

Same MO, but on a 2008 Sequoia Limited on cars.com. 46K miles for $18,527. I emailed thru CARS.com, as there was no contact information provided, asking if it had been in a wreck or had major mechanical issues because I had never seen a Sequoia like that priced for under $32K. Got an email back saying she was recently divorced and did not have a driver's license, thus was just trying to unload the SUV ASAP. When I replied that I was very interested and asked when I could come for a test drive, that is when I got the email with an Autocheck report attached and the story that she moved to Omaha to start over and with the same details as the car ready to ship with a 5-day trial, PayPal setup, etc. I Google'd the VIN and it came up with the same pics I saw, but the Sequoia is for sale on a dealer lot in OK for $35k. Interestingly, while I was emailing her, I tried to find the listing again on cars.com but could not find it. So once they land a lead, they probably delete the listing and work that person. Luckily believing this was too good to be true probably saved me a lot of headache. AS a precaution, I weet ahead and deleted my paypal account.
