I saw a cheap 4 wheeler on craigslist for $1500 that was a Kawasaki brute force 750. First off, the listing was for Grand Island, Nebraska. It said to text for info. When I did, they responded saying "I'm selling it for my sister, who doesn't have a Craigslist account." And gave me her email. I asked for her number to call to speed up the process of emailing back and forth several times, but he never responded after the first text saying just her email.

Started talking to her, said she was recently divorced and had moved back to her home town in Iowa (7.5 hours away from Grand Island where it was supposedly located at). Said the 4 wheeler was part of the settlement. Told me features a 2007 with 81 hours, 300 some miles, paid off, title in hand (even offered to email a copy of the title before hand to look at it) a snow plow, auto transmission, 4x4 prob some others. Even offered free shipping because someone else was going to bey it before me and payed to shipping and then couldn't get a loan.

Any way emailed back and forth and didn't like what she was saying but she offered to put sell it on ebay. I do buy alot from ebay, so I was aware of the "buyer protection" they offer and was thinking that that would be great. So she asked for my full name, number and address for shipping. Which me being a idiot, gave her.

She said she was going to post it this morning and that she would email again with the ebay link when she did. So when i got the email, I clicked on it and my virus protection stopped and said it was a untrusted site. Odd since I am on ebay all the time. When opened the page said ebay, but nothing else was the same as the real site, like what I am use to seeing. So I opened a new box. I went to the real ebay and didn't a search for it and couldn't find it.

One thing that I did notice, the fake ebay site in the web address, was long like most posting page would be but it contained ".org" don't remember the exact but something like "ebay.something.org/blablablabla986382" I mention this because I have never an real ebay seen ".org" on it.

Thats when I knew it was a scam. Sorry that was so long but wanted to give as much info as I could.

Should I be wurried about giving my Name, address and number out???
thanks and good luck

Sorry was rereading this and I don't know why but I said she was from Iowa. She said she was in Missouri. Do know where that came from. Sorry

Welcome to Scamwarners,

Don't worry about your name or address.

It was a scam. The scammer built a fake website. He did not want to talk on the phone because you would have heard the African accent. He was attempting to steal your money.

Please post the email address, text number and names used.

Also post the fake web address.

Can you post the initial text and emails sent to you?

Please contacta moferatorstor if you have a question or information about this post.



Please do not tell the scammer he is posted here.

If you are interested email me back and I will give you more info. Thanks
Alice

me back

Hi Alice,
Yes, I am interested. My phone number is (402)XXX-XXXX, I would appreciate any more info that you would have. I'd like to set-up a time to come take a look at it when it works for you. I'm a farmer so I can make any time work this time of year. I did have one question, the hours and miles on the craigslist ad were different than the hours and miles in the -mail you sent me. I just wanted to double check on which one was the correct hours and miles. Thanks

her to me


Hi again, the atv is located in Aurora, Missouri because I am a newly divorcee.

I thought a new start would do me good, so I packed up and moved to my home town, with my job, and took the quad with me as part of a divorce settlement. I have clean title in hand and i`m ready to send you a copy if you are interested too see one.
I decided to sell using e Bay Buyer Protection program because i cannot meet you.
Shipping and handling is free, the loan of my previous buyer didn't get approved so there won't be any additional shipping costs because he already paid the shipping. In addition, you will have 7 days to try out 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 are ready to buy it and you have the cash available, please email me your Full Name , City , Zip Code and Phone Number so I can list the quad on e Bay and you can buy it using the "BUY IT NOW" option.
Thank you, Alice

Me to her

Yes, going through ebay for the protection sounds like it would be a good way to go. Yes I'll take it. Ya I have the money when ever you want to post it just let me know. Its not that I don't trust you but to ensure my safety as a buyer, since I am unable to see it before hand, please make sure in the description that you include everything that you told me as well as the pictures. I just copy and pasted what you told me. If you just copy and paste the paragraph below and add it as the description, that should be good enough.

That way if there is a claim (which I'm sure everything will be fine) we are both protected. Again, its not that I don't trust you, just trying to make it the safest transaction as possible for both of us.


My name and address is,
AAAAAA AAAAAA
XX XXnd rd
Ne
Phone is 402-xxx-xxxx


Please let me know when you will be placing the add onto ebay, a call would be best.
Thanks again, Bryant

her back

Hi and Happy New Year

already deleted the "brothers" text number but it was a 402 area code
by Mike Wilson Mon Jan 04, 2016 6:13 pm
vin number of the Quad used in the scam JKAVFDB117B515177

This same vin number has been used since at least 2012 with several different email addresses and names

The scam relies on the victim not realizing they are not on a real eBay site

Everything has been copied and spoofed to look legitimate.

A portion of the title the scammers use. This appears to be a copy of a legitimate document that was probably Phished from another victim

After you agree to buy the scammer sends this email


Hi,eBay confirmed me your purchase. you will have to find a place to purchase eBay cards and buy 3 cards, then load the cards with $500 each and fill the form on ebay by writting the codes on their website so they can verify your payment. You will be notified by ebayafter they will verify them with the delivery date and time.


DO NOT BUY VISA/MASTERCARD PREPAID CARDS.


The scammer wants you to send them the security numbers from the back of the card. Once they have these numbers your money is gone and there is no way to get your money back.

It is ALWAYS a scam
