Here is how they pitch the scam:

The price for this car is: $2850
I want to tell you that I am not selling this car for profit or due a lack of money. All I can say is that some recent events in my life made me change my perception of certain things, things that I’ve considered important in the past. I will donate all money to charity after I sell this car. I am currently on a trip for UNICEF.
The car has a clear title, is in an excellent condition, no dents or scratches, it was always garaged and regular maintenance and oil changes were done in time. Hasn’t been involved in an accident or flood damage. The motor runs very well. I don’t want to offend you but the car is priced for a fast sale so please if you intend to apply for a loan or financing do not reply.
The transaction will be made through eBay company for the safety of both. I’ve already included the car into eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection, so I will sell only through this.
If you want to buy the car, and you agree with my terms please reply so I can give you a detailed description of the eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection.

Waiting for your reply.

Thank you,


The next email will be about she met a lawyer in Nigeria that believes by your name you're the benficiary of a $4 million inheritance....................................... ....

Or that some uncle that is "related" to you passed away in nigeria and owned a MOBILE oil company and the lawyer needs to find somebody to pass his interitance on to so he can get a "deductable" from it, and ends up asking for your CC information
