Wanted to buy a BMW M6 for $2800. :(



http://newyork.craigslist.org/fct/car/671396071.html

"This car it was my son`s car , my son died in Iraq ( 124 USAF PJ Flight ) fighting our war ... Bush needs to tell me why !

this car will be my gift, my gift in the memory of my son....
money are not a problem , all i want is to find the right person.. that person who`ll love and take care of this car in the same way he did...

I'd like to make a person very happy and to light a candle for my son once in a while....

14810 miles and manual transmission this BMW M6 has been meticulously maintained by my son ,
is in excellent condition , has never been wrecked or damaged

THIS IS NOT A DEALER CAR. i have the title , paid in full ready to be signed over
There is no lien on the car, there will be no monthly payments no take over payments."

How old are you?
$2,800 ( twenty eight hundred ) , this is all you have to pay , sales tax , shipping costs and title registration fees have ALREADY PAID BY ME

The car is in Detroit - Michigan located in Super-Movers ( www.Super-Movers.net ) company warehouse , crated and ready to be shipped.

tracking # : RPJHF4Y9M78ERSU2D

I don't need it shipped.

I'd like to pick it up.


No Response... oh well, I tried...

Classic craiglist scam. The car is worth $70k-$90k. Don't waste your time.

I can't believe you live in this world and didn't pick up on that scam before you even sent an email.

"you can't pick up the car, it will be shipped to you" = SCAM

Haha, did u really think i didn't know?

Just posted it for others who've been asking 'bout many different scams in various threads... i never saw this one before, although Nismopick said it's a classic.

What I thought was unique is that he created his own shipping website for it along with a fake Better Business Bureau link.

He even gave a tracking code in the e-mail... tracking # : RPJHF4Y9M78ERSU2D

http://www.super-movers.net/

Here's a thread exposing his fake sites... along with the guy who made them.

Hey, i just noticed... the scammer might be a z car fan based on what he posted on that page????

bigpula: "i`ve used super-movers company 3 weeks ago , I`VE BOUGHT A 2005 NISSAN 250Z , works GREAT !!"
