I believe I'm being scammed into buying this car but the email is not emily. It's [email protected]
The emails below :
Hi again,
Unfortunately, I can't close this transaction personally due to the nature of my job, I am in the United States Army serving as a CBRN Specialist (74D). I am currently deployed and won't be back till next year. The car is in Amazon Auto Sales custody in Mobile Alabama ready to be shipped with all the documents. The shipping will be free because my brother sold his bike in the same way two weeks ago and they gave me a discount voucher which includes free shipping. As I said I will use Amazon in this transaction for our protection.
I need your full name, your full shipping address and phone number so I can initiate the transaction. Amazon contacts you with further details regarding the payment and shipping process. You submit the payment to Amazon, Amazon confirms the payment and asks me to release the shipment. They ship the car which should be at your door within 2 or 3 business days with all the necessary papers (clear title, bill of sale signed by me, user’s manual, insurance etc). You have a 5 days inspection period before you confirm the deal and Amazon forwards the payment to me or you cancel the deal and get your money back.
Basically Amazon holds your money safe until you confirm that this car is what you have been expected and you want to buy it. It is not a sight unseen deal.
On the other hand I can ship my car knowing Amazon has your money and you won't "disappear" with my car. We are both covered. Sorry for the long emails I have tried to touch all bases

Hi, I’m Jennifer.
Thanks for emailing me about my 2005 Honda Accord EX priced at $1000. It has a gasoline engine 3.0L V6, an automatic transmission which shifts perfectly and only 106,320 miles. Has been extremely well maintained with a full service history, no accident history, clear title, no dents or dings, no scratches and always garaged kept. If you decide to buy it, you’ll receive all the papers, owner manual, keys, a buy-sell contract already signed by me and the clear title. Also, it was recently inspected by the shipping mechanics and was changed the oil and filters, the tires, new rotors and new pads front and back. The car is ready to be driven.
This was my daughter’s car who passed away due to cancer. You cannot imagine my grief but the car brings me a lot of memories that make me suffer and this is the only reason for what I want to sell it.
Due to my job I’m away and I’ve decided to make this deal through Amazon Auto Sales, so if you want to move forward please let me know so I can explain you how amazon works.
Thank you!

Thanks for posting. It's a definite scam, the car doesn't exist.

The best thing to do is block them and stop responding.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
