common kijiji email

I keep recieving emails similar to this while inquiring on kijiji about different cars. The ebay method is always mentioned for completing sales. Id like to know definitively if this is a scam and what the deal with it is.

Most recent email:

Hi ,
Let me tell you a few words about the car.It's a 2003 Kia Sorento Ex, in perfect condition, with no need for additional repairs, no scratches, dings, special marks whatsoever, never been involved in any accidents. The interior looks great. It has 67689 miles.It has a clear title ready to be signed and notarized on your name.The price is not negotiable , $6,80.00 is my last price.I sell the car at this price because I cannot enjoy it due to my job(I work as a dealer on a cruise ship) and I'm a single woman and I have nobody close who can use it.
All documents, including owner's manual, clear title and a bill of sale on your name will be provided along with the car.Also about payment and shipping I will use only eBay vehicle protection program so we can both be protected.I just need your full name,address and phone # so i can open a case.(with no further obligation or fees)...
Also,sorry for replying you so late but i was a little bit tied up with my job and i was unable to access my e-mail address.
Regards!

Thanks!

here is another one I just got while typing up my last post...

Hi,

I know that you have many choices on Kijiji and I appreciate that you contacted me.The car is in perfect condition, 100% original and the engine works great. Like you already have seen in the pictures, no scratches, no rust, no damages, no hidden defects. I sell it so cheap because I just moved from Canada.The car is still registered there. Those are the reasons why I'm selling it for $5,000.00 including the shipping and insurance charges. All documents and the notarized bill of sale will be provided along with the car.The transaction will be made under an escrow company called MoneyBookers.
I'm a serious seller and a fair trader and I prefer to deal only with a serious buyer. If you consider yourself one please e-mail me back so we can start our deal.
Thank you!

Hi Zionad

Welcome to Scamwarners.

Yes, it is definately a scam, a search on a small section of script will show the proof that it is.

Click Here for an exact search on this section of script "additional repairs, no scratches, dings, special marks whatsoever".

Could you please include the email address and any other details you have about this as it will help prevent others from being scammed.

This thread has more information on how this scam works Click Here


If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

MoneyBookers is a genuine business, so the scammers won't be using them. You'd likely get am email from a free email account such as moneybookers@ yahoo.com.

I will use only eBay vehicle protection program so we can both be protected

.

There is Vehicle Purchase Protection but you need to satisfy certain conditions. Please follow this link.

You won't be covered in anyway if you communicate outside the e-Bay message system (i.e. phone, email, mail, in person, by overnight messenger, etc...)

Exclusion clause 22 clearly says :-

22. Transactions occurring directly between the parties (i.e. phone, email, mail, in person, by overnight messenger, etc...) and/or on another website rather than through the eBay website. Note that all transactions occurring through the eBay website (motors.ebay.com) will be confirmed by a message from eBay in your My Messages inbox in My eBay.
