Attempting to buy a car online, I came across a beautiful Tahoe for a great (read: unreal) price. Contacted the guy, gave out my address (nothing a public records search wouldn't reveal), and never heard from him again. Until today, when I received this email.
"Hi,
This 2006 Honda Accord, Graphite Pearl, 4dr EX-V6, Loaded, Original Owner, Well Maintained, runs and drives excellent. It has been extremely well maintained with a full service history and never been down. Only 64,000 miles! It's in perfect condition,no electric/engine problems,no accidents/liens/loans.No scratches,never been repainted.I have all documents,2 spare of keys, clean title. I bought it when i was serving in Camp Blanding ,Florida. The car will be delivered from Florida, US and the shipping is free for you !
I have dropped my price to $2000 (purchase price) since this is an Urgent Sale! and I need to sell it before September 12, when I will be deployed in Afghanistan with my platoon replacing the troops scheduled to come home.
If you're interested to conclude this purchase in a timely manner email me your: Full Name and Shipping address, to open a case with eBay. They will contact you to explain the entire procedure. The financial part will be managed by eBay, which means that you will have a 10 days inspection period before committing to buy the car. In this way both, buyer and seller are 100% covered during the steps of this transaction.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Maj. Frank Nelson"
Funny, Frank, this is INCREDIBLY similar to the email you sent me the first time!:
