Think this is a scam

Received this email today regarding a vehicle that is listed for sale on the internet.

"My truck is in excellent condition and it has only 96,595 original miles. The price for the truck is $2,145, FIRM. Never had or need any paint or body work done or, garaged keep always. without any mechanical problems, tires and wheels are in great shape as well, electric is working perfectly, has a clean and clear US title without any accidents, no liens or loans. This belonged to my husband and after he passed away i decided to sell it. My name is on the title.Right now i`m in Lafayette, LA (the truck is here with me) because i got a new job here. Due to the fact I am very busy with my work and I don't stay too much at home, the truck is already at the shipping company and will be delivered from there very fast, shipping cost is included in price.You will receive the truck in 4-5 days and you will get the chance to inspect it 7 days , test drive it and everything you like.If you're interested to purchase, just email me with your full name ,shipping address and your phone number , so I can notify eBillme Shop Secure that you are selected as my buyer and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure, such as payment, shipping and insurance.
Here you have some pictures with the truck,i hope that you will like it:"

This also included a link for pictures of the vehicle.
I did check the ip address and it is in the Pacific Northwest not where the seller says they are.
Don't know if that helps?

Hello mudflap560 and welcome to Scamwarners,
Your instincts are correct, this is a scam to steal your money using a fake shipping company. Please post the email addresses used in this scam along with any telephone numbers that may have been used. These make good search keys for others that may be looking for information on this scam.

If you have any additional questions on this scam please ask.

Yes, it is a scam. The price is too low. Nobody puts their truck in a shipping company warehouse before they sell it, where nobody can see it or test drive it. Nobody. Never. You will be instructed to pay thru Western Union, and promised that you can return the truck and get your money back if for any reason you don't like it.

Common scam. You will find, no matter how hard you try, that you will never find this busy person anywhere in the world.

I believe I have deleted all my personal info from the full header.

If not possibly an admin can correct.

The writing is that of a West African. The reason there's an IP address in the Pacific Northwest in the headers is that that's where Hotmail is.

Hello mudflap560 and welcome to Scamwarners,
Your instincts are correct, this is a scam to steal your money using a fake shipping company. Please post the email addresses used in this scam along with any telephone numbers that may have been used. These make good search keys for others that may be looking for information on this scam.

If you have any additional questions on this scam please ask.

The email is [email protected]

I did send an email back saying that I was interested but would like to inspect and test drive the vehicle prior to payment. I have trailer and would not need shipping.

Have yet to receive a response.

Searching for that email led me to an ad:

http://www.adoos.com/post/49600151/1997 ... heavy_duty

1997 Ford F250 Heavy Duty Crew Cab 460/V8 5 speed manual.This vehicle runs 100% and needs absolutely nothing at all, she is ready to go! Engine is an incredibly low mileage 460 / V8 with a 5 speed manual transmission to deliver stump pulling power and torque. 4x4 works flawlessly as well as the transmission. Engine has no leaks or check engine lights and will pass inspection easily.There is zero rust anywhere and all body panels are free of dings, dents or rot.For more info please email at [email protected]

If we all write to "her", "she" will sell all of us the same truck.

Received this response this afternoon.

I will not be available for pick up so if you wish to go on with this deal and in order to open a case at eBillme Shop Secure, please send me your full name and shipping address and they will contact you with more details(first name,last name,shipping address,city,country,postal code and your phone number).

They will send message instructing you to send the money by Western Union. Don't send money. If you want to see the scam, I suppose you could go ahead and get that message so we know if they are using a fake website, too. Or you could just ask what the website is for eBillme Shop Secure?

No need to give correct information because there is no truck waiting to be shipped.
