Classified ads scammer, uses fake escrow sites to convince victims to send money for items "she" does not own. I have copied text from one of "her" ads at the bottom of this post to make it google searchable.

First scripted response:

Hi,

First of all i have to let you know that i am not a boat connoisseur but i will try to describe this to the best of my knowledge.According to an authorized dealer, the boat is in outstanding condition. There are no structural or electrical problems with it. Both hull and interior in nice condition .No mechanical issues with this engine. It starts easily and restart easily all day.Trailer is in very nice condition and the tires are almost new with plenty of tread left. It has a clear and clean title, free of all liens and encumbrances.
This was my father's boat who recently passed away so i know it has always been properly maintained and never abused. I hope it's new owner will take care of it as my beloved father did. I moved out of town when i got married so i used to come back home occasionally. The very big distance, my kids and my job as a doctor doesn't allow me to come there often. This is no problem for me as far as the transaction is concerned because I was selling this through OJS anyway. I believe you know what OJS is if you buy and sell online often, if you don't I'll be glad to walk you through the process. Let me know if you are still interested so i can get back to you with additional pictures or details.

2nd scripted response, leading to the escrow scam. You can see this script has been around a long time, under different company names, as well: http://netscammers.blogspot.com/2011/07/ez-transactionscom-scam.html

I'm pleased you are still interested.
Like I said before I will be happy to walk you through the process. OJS is short for Online Jumble Sale and their website is onlinejumblesale.com

, maybe now this sounds familiar to you.
I left the boat in their possession last week and I just listed it recently on Kijiji. The fact that I'm not home will not affect the selling procedure through this service. They will take care of shipping, payment and title transfer(it is already signed by me and notarized so they are empowered to do this ). So the process goes like this: if you agree with the boat description and price, you must register on their website and they will send you an invoice with the payment instructions and the transaction details. You send the payment to them and as soon as the payment is confirmed they will start the shipping process, which usually takes between 3 and 5 working days. As soon as you will receive the boat, a 7 Day money Back Guarantee starts (which is a standard guarantee for all items listed on Kijiji) and you can inspect it and see if it's everything you expected. This guarantee allows you to return the boat if by any chance something is wrong with it, my description was not accurate or I failed to specify something about it's condition. Basically you can return the boat with no questions asked and if that's the case the returning process will be free of charge for you, I will be held responsible for all costs. If you accept the boat, then you'll sign that you accept it and they will transfer the payment to me.
I forgot to mention that the complete process is free of charge for you, the listed price on Kijiji already includes all the shipping and handling fees, so there is no reason to be scared for any extra fees, there are none. The process is very simple and secure, it may sound a little complicated because I had to explain the whole deal in details, it really isn't complicated at all. I hope you are still interested and if you would like to start the process you need to register at onlinejumblesale.com

. If that's the case please make sure you understand the process and read the terms and conditions listed on their website before you register.

Thank you,
Sandra
