This past summer my son was looking to buy a car/truck---anyway, he found jeep over in Youngstown, Ohio. Great condition, ridiculous price---way too low. The scam was that the person who "owned" the Jeep was in "Scotland" and had to be shipped. Did some digging, and this scam had been attempted elsewhere, as well..
Here is the scam---
Hello,
Sorry for the delayed response, but I'm in Glasgow (Scotland) right now and I have been very busy.Anyway,thank you for your interest in buying the car. The car is located in US right now and has US papers.Why is the price so low? I am going trough a divorce, and I had to move out of USA I cannot register the car here, as it is made for USA, according to USA standards. So all that I want to do now is to sell the car at this price, because I need to sell it fast(I already made a deposit here to buy me another).The title is clean and you will have absolutely no problems to register the car in the States.
I will tell you a few words about the car..
My 2006 JEEP WRANGLER X with manual transmission it is in immaculate condition with 3,147 Miles and have the VIN number: 1J4FA39S76P708334 , rust free , no scratch and hasn't been involved in any accident. The motor runs very well(4.0L L6 MPI ).The interior looks great( NO SMOKING).This car needs nothing,the title is clear ,it is not a salvage one.
I want this transaction to go smoothly enough as I am caught in the middle of some very important events and have little time at my disposal. I already have tones of emails so I hope you understand that I need to sort them out. The car is like new, in perfect conditions,accident free, no scratches, no special marks, no need for additional repairs what so ever. a genuine road runner ready to be yours, but only if you shall understand and you won't make me loose time as it has already happened to me.
Here are all the photos of my car. The pictures are recent, and they were taken right before preparing the car for sale.
The car is exactly as shown in the pictures: http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg126/jeepjeepwern/
