Yes, this is a hoax all the way. I found the same type thing on my local craigslist. Below is what I found. What is everyone doing about this? I am new to the board.


Hi,
I am selling this car because my platoon has been sent back to Iraq and don't want it get old in my backyard. The price is low because I need to sell it before July 15. It has no damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn't been involved in any accident...I do have the title , clear, under my name. The Denali has 82,250 original miles VIN# 1GKEK63U56J158553 .
It is still available for sale if interested, price as stated in the ad $4,500. The car is in Buffalo, NY, in case it gets sold I will take care of shipping. Let me know if you are interested, email back. Below is the car details and also link with more photos,if the link doesn't work,copy and paste it into a new browser page.
Regards!!!

Here is the email they are using.

nora.flury@googlemail.com


They have contacted me numerous times pushing the deal so I have just been stringing them along trying to get additional information about the transaction.

Hi I quess right know you could call me a real sucker! All of this crap is a scam and I got taken for one heck of a ride.I found a 2003 crownline boat on craiglist 5,500.00 was told the same thing as you guys same type of emails ,used moneygram. The address I have In San Jose Cal is an ebay telecom the mans name is Wayne Ford.The fax I sent it to after the moneygram is 1-801-846-9913 its in UTAH. The lady selling the said boat goes by amyjones2003@gmail.com. A Jason Bennett was the one who picked up the money from moneygram in Stockbridge Georgia. I have filed a complaint with the FBI lets hope something gets done but one thing to think about is they have our names and address and email so lets hope they dont use our names to fraud someone else.If anyone has any advice on how to catch them please let me know, they have this boat listed all over craiglist nationwide. If we all come together maybe we can shut these SOB's down. :P

Hello,
The bike is located in Pensacola, FL and I am selling it at this price ($2950) because i just finished the divorce with my husband. The divorce is finished and I own this bike. I work as a dealer on a cruise ship and i want to sell it because I need money for other things. This bike is in excellent working condition, no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage, slightly used, in 100% working and looking conditions and comes with a clear title ready for transfer. From the beginning you have to know that for the payment I request only secure pay, I prefer the payment to be done using eBay services. Since i am working most of my time, and divorced I want the deal closed only through eBay's Buyer Protection Program in order for me and you to be 100% protected. The final price that I want for this bike is $2950. If you will take it for this price, I am willing to handle the shipping. Please get back to me asap if you decide to buy, and include in your e-mail your full name and address where you want it shipped so I can start the deal with eBay. You will receive payment and shipping details from them.
I will wait your answer very soon only if you are interested to buy because i don't have any free time to waste.

Hi again,
As I've told you at this moment I am in WA in a military base getting ready for Afghanistan (I hope for the last time).I do a special training program each day and I am not allowed to get out of the unit or give calls whenever I want.The shipping will take 3 to 5 days depends on your location and is not a problem because a have considerable discount from eBay and I can do it at no cost for you. You will receive the car along with all the documents including title, bill of sale, 2 set of keys,full service records and more . Because it is a large transaction we will complete the deal only using an authorized third part like eBay coz I already prearranged the whole process with them, using their escrow Safe Pay Program for vehicles not listed on their website. The car is located in their warehouse in WA (ready for delivery). I've asked them to allow viewers to go there and inspect the car but their reply was: "We are not a showroom!" In this case I will offer a 5 days period to inspect the car from the moment you receive it, before I'll have your money. I think this is more than fair for both of us.
The payment will be handling by eBay Escrow, and you will benefit of 5 days inspection time period (test drive) and the option to accept or reject the car on my expense. If you are still interested just send me your full name and shipping address. I will forward your info to eBay and they will notify you about our deal.Like this you'll be able to talk with them directly and ask all you want to know.
Regards!!
Amy

I also came across that ad, but she is scheduled to be deployed on july 28th.... does she ever go to iraq??? The answer is NO, why because there is NO one in any branch of the military with the name "NORA FLURY"!!!! What a lie, also Ebay's escrow does not contact you they only have you register to there secure site!!! This is a scam all the way, I hope no one falls for it. Also if you gave your info out to the report a fraud alert to all the credit bureau's. :x :x :x :x
