    "Mind you, i will be paying you with a cashier check and my shipping agency will be coming for the pick up of the item from your location"

    As soon as I read that shit, oh no. That dude is trying to scam you buddy. Click his emails as spam, and move on!

    any time they refer to what you're selling as an "item"... it's a scam

    not to thread jack

    here is 1 found this morning on the search for a is300. just sounded to good to be true. when i got the email back for i knew it was at that point.

    http://atlanta.craigslist.org/ctd/1209285395.html

    first email

    do you still have it for sale? if so whats the VIN for the vehicle and why is the price so low? what city are you located? do you have a maintenance history? if everything checks out when is a good time to meet up so i can check it out.

    second email

    Hello and thank you for question,
    The 2002 Lexus IS-300 Sport Sedan is in great shape,no engine problems,damages or hidden defects. It was always garaged and never kept outside, clear title, only 53100 miles, female driver, 4 new nokian hakkapelitta 4s with studs 215/45/r17, and 4 new fuzion zri 215/45/r17, never smoked in. I`m a single mother with 2 children because I divorced with my husband and after the divorce I own this car, I don`t need it and that`s why I`m selling it so cheap.The price for the car is $4200 with shipping included. We will use eBay`s protection program for our safety. I just need your full name and address so i can open a case.(with no further obligation or fees).
    Thank You!

    3rd email

    4th email

    my lucky day 2 scammers in 1 day.

    Hello,
    I have received your email regarding the
    2006 Lexus GS430 with only 66,000 miles.
    The car is in perfect condition,with no scratches on it,no damage, clear title.
    The price for the car is $5,700 with shipping included.
    The car was my husband`s as he loved it very much, but he did not enjoy it as he died in a IRAQ 3 month ago. It brings very bad memories to me, I want to get rid of it.
    The buyer will receive the car with all papers and receipts that he needs to register it to his name.
    Shipping will be done whit DAS and it will take no more then 2-3 days. I have a friend there who will manage me a low price shipping and I assumed that it is my duty to pay for shipping it.It will be delivered directly to your address.
    Anyway, I have to let you know that I want a fast deal so if you are really interested in buying it,please reply with the following information's:
    -Your full name;
    -Your shipping address.(street,city,state,zip code)
    The transaction will close only through eBay so we both will be protected.
    I want eBay because as they are the biggest company on the internet I think that we can close this deal fast and safe for both of us. Also I am not very familiar with the internet transactions and eBay is the only one I know.
    I will look for your email,so that we can move forward with this deal!
    Let me know.
    Regards,
    Susan

    There's so many key words and phrases in there. Either the talk/type like there are foreign or make VERY general statements.
