Here is one that I got. He's in the bold.

ME: Where can I meet you? i am very interested in your son's car.

I am also in the military and know the sacrifice your son made and would be glad to continue to maintain it to carry on his legacy.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for taking a part of your time and visiting my ad....the reason for which i`m selling my 2007 Ford Mustang Saleen S281 is because this car was my son`s car. My son - Sgt. William Crow - died June 28 2007 in Baghdad,

of wounds sustained when his vehicle was struck by an improvised explosive device....Actual milles of the car 11600 and the final price is $6,000.

If you want to make this transaction with me, please send me your full name and full address so i can contact eBay so i can open a case.

ME:So where exactly are you located. As I am active duty I don't have time to travel to meet you to pick up the car so it would have to be shipped if you are not local. I don't feel very comfortable not being able to meet you in person to seal the deal, especially since it was your deceased son's, I want to make sure everything is correct with the paperwork.

Please let me know how you would like to proceed. Maybe you could have the car shipped to Oahu and fly out to meet me. I would cover the price of the shipping the car and your plane ticket.

Thanks

ME:So was your son named after you? Where are you from originally? I may be able to take some leave to come out and pick it up to drive it to my house until I get back to the states.

Please send me your full name and address so I can start setting up leave to come and see the car in person.

Waiting your reply.

Thanks

Hi,

 

The car is located in Tucson Arizona,like i told we will use eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection,so we can both be protected and insured.I just need your full name and full address so eBay can send you the invoice in which you`ll see how to make this transaction.The shipping is free i will take care of it and i will send the car with all the papers( vehicle registration, warranty papers,transfer papers etc ) i am just waiting your full name and address to complete the shipping papers and start the delivery process.

 

Thanks

I just stopped playing at that point. I looked up the information and the son did die just as described, there was a write up on the net. It pisses me off not only that he is trying to scam but that he is using the memory of a dead soldier to do it.

I tracked the ip and it was coming from Berlin, Germany. They are all over the place.

Oh okay.

Give me his address and I will ship it right out. since it's his birthday I won't charge you shipping, I will ship it for free. As a matter of fact I will send you $500 and the PS3 because you seem like such a nice guy.

Give me your address and paypal and I will send out the PS3 and your money.

Thanks for your interest in my ad

Please check USPS Express Mail for the shipment, it won't cost you musch for the shipment.

 

Below is my son's residential address for the shipment:

 

Shipping information:

Name: Chukwu Douglas

Address: #2 Adelabu Street Uwani

City : Enugu

State: Enugu

Zip Code: 23442

Country : Nigeria

 

 

Hoping to hear from you soon.

Got it. Will ship as soon as possible. Could you do me a favor and take a picture of you holding a sign that says:

"I am Sofa king Wee Todd Did"

Just so I know this isn't a scam.

I have no problem sending you the PS3 for free since it is for your son's birthday presentation but I need some sort of proof just to make me feel better.

also send me your paypal address so I can send you the $500 to help with your son's birthday.

Hope to hear from you soon.

thanks.

He never wrote back. i hope he does send me a picture that would be great. F'in scammers.
