Mia was supposedly selling a Toyota Highlander for $8600. Here is a copy of the emails she sent me:

Glad to see you want the SUV. Here are some details about it: very good shape, no known mechanical issues, without scratches or dents, and it has never been involved in any kind of accidents. The mileage is 88,107, automatic transmission, with an 6 Cyl 3.3L engine, AWD, light green exterior and tan interior. I legally own a clear title, free of any liens or loans, under my name. The price that I\'m asking is $8,600. Just want to sell it ASAP, so I am using Google Wallet as my ex-hubby suggested, he also sold his bike, without any headaches!

As I was saying I recently got divorced, and moved to Lincoln, NE with a job for a new start. The SUV is already at the shipping company here in town, crated and ready for delivery. You have free delivery, the SUV arriving at your place in 4-6 days. You get 5 days to try it out before buying it, and if you don\'t like it, you can send it back at my expense. If interested, e-mail me your whole name and ph#, and I will forward it to Google Wallet so they can send you more details on how this works.
Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.
Found ad posted on Craig's list about a 2007 Toyota Sequoia. I sent an email with questions and received the following response:
ME: I wanted to get more info about the 2007 Toyota Sequoia you listed on Craig's List. Can you tell me how many miles are on it and the VIN so I can run a Car fax on it? Why are you selling it? Can we stop by and see it?
RESPONSE: Glad to see you want the SUV. Here are some details about it: very good shape, no known mechanical issues, without scratches or dents, and it has never been involved in any kind of accidents. The mileage is 53,759, automatic transmission, with an 8 Cyl 4.7L engine,VIN: 5TDZT38A47S298783, white exterior and tan interior. I legally own a clear title, free of any liens or loans, under my name. The price that I'm asking is $8,300. Just want to sell it ASAP, so I am using Google Wallet as my ex-hubby suggested, he also sold his bike, without any headaches! For questions just e-mail me.
Sincerely, Mia
ME: Can we stop by and see it? I see your ad was posted in Des Moines but the title shows it's registered in Mobile, AL.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
