Here's my most recent. She will make me the tracking number and eBay will contact me with more details? I'll bet they have a nice looking eBay page put together to accept my banking info! My request is on the bottom, her reply on top, of course. (Didn't want to edit anything but the email addy I used.)
Hello again,
The shipping is free. If you wish to go on with this deal and in order to open a case at eBay, please send me your full name and shipping address for I can make you the tracking number and eBay will contact you with more details.
Thank you,
Victoria

I am very interested and can be in San Jose tomorrow morning to look at the unit
in person! Can you give me the address of the shipper so that I can stop in?
I can get cash and complete the deal tomorrow if everything looks good.

I saw a post on Craigslist with the same name a few weeks ago. At that time she was in the US Military, and stationed in the UK. She had a Jetta in Norfolk which she needed to sell. I received a very similar canned email.
She is having a tough time, and now needs to sell her RV for an operation in China. We all know that China has a much better medical system than we do here in the USA. I think we should all send her our credit card numbers, and tell her to take what she needs so she can walk again. My heart bleeds for her - NOT.
It is too bad that people like these can't be stopped.

There was a similar add here over the last few wks. A class B for about 1/2 the book value. This guy's father had died and he needed the money for bills before he left to go overseas with the military. The add has been pulled. He wanted money wired an account not in his name but needed the tracking # of it so he would know that you were really going to show up.
I hope no one got burned on this and that someone got a HECK of a deal!

Just tell her you will pick it up in person, no need to ship. Oh, can can you inspect it first. I'll go inspect it for you, San Jose is not that far from here. And what the heck, pay for fuel and give me a couple of extra days to hang out at Disney and I'll even deliver it for you!
Edit: I just saw you did that. I'll be your agent and save you the trip.

The deal has a rather rank odor in my opinion...if it too good to be true...it probably is too good to be true.

The scams are so bad they are insulting.
On of my favorite internet reads ever was the "ppppowerbook." It started as an Ebay sale of a laptop where the seller was contacted by a scammer. "I'll send you a check for too much and blah blah blah." It ended up morphing in to an extremely complex transaction where the original seller was actually able to scam the scammer out of some money, and they actually got the delivery of the fake laptop to the scammer on video! It is a long but hilarious read.

On edit: There are many many mirrors for the ppppowerbook story, but this one looks good because they have the pictures in the story in the relevant place.
