Hello ,
My name is Maria , and I'm emailing you about 1993 Mazda RX-7 vr that I have for sale. The car is in perfect condition,
with no need for any additional repairs. Flawless exterior/interior condition, no scratches and no dents. It has never
been involved in an accident. The mileage is 107,000, Manual transmission,red exterior and black leather interior. It
has a clear title with no loans or liens on it. The price was reduced at $3,500 as I need to sell the car before the
27 of July when I will be leaving with my platoon back to Afghanistan, so I don't want getting it old in my backyard.
If you have any other questions, or need more info, please feel free to ask.

At this moment I am at the military base getting ready for Afghanistan which means that I am doing a special training and I am not allowed to get out of the unit. The car is already at the shipping company in Topeka KS sealed and ready for the shipping. My presence won't be necessary because I prearranged the deal with Amazon. The deal includes free delivery and it will arrive at your address in 3 days. You will have 5 days to test it and inspect the car prior to making any purchase and if by any reason you find something you don't like about it you can send it back at my expense. If you are interested in knowing more info about how it works, I can ask Amazon to send you an email with more information on how to purchase it. Amazon will contact you shortly after they have the details with all the information that you need to complete this deal and you will also have proof that I am covered by them and a legitimate seller. Please let me know your full name and phone number if you want to receive more information about this sale from Amazon.

It was for sale in portland, oregon also.
I knew it was a scam but decided i'd see what the deal was and i got the exact same replies. then i told her that i'd love to see the car and i haven't heard from 'her' since.
Filthy scummm!

I found this website not too long ago, it allows you to search all areas of craigslist ads, ebay ect. in one quick and easy search but i haven't checked it to see if you can post an ad to everywhere.

what i would like to know is how to trace back and physicaly find the scammer, Since i am 70 and my bucket list is short perhaps some "community service" would be in order.

Nice, easiest way for a civilian is to trace back the IP address from the e-mail, if you run a XML list to show where it originated then ping to make sure it's active and find a trace route site that will identify the area where the original IP came from! Good Luck!

Just an FYI, this is also listed on the Atlanta craigslist. I knew it was a scam off the bat, but I still emailed them. They told me it was located in Kentucky. I like to see what new creative ways these idiots come up with, but it's always the same crap. "I am in the military leaving and the transaction will be handled through ebay/amazon/etc."
