My SSR: 2006 Pacific Blue 3 Pedals, Chrome Pkg, Bernie's nerf bars & spare tire
My second e-mail to him:
Hello Dennis,
Do you have the title for the SSR? Where are you located. I need to check to see if my bank has a local branch that I can withdraw the cash from when I come to pick it up. I don't need to do any financing.

Hello ,
The car is in Idaho, in a sealed container, ready to be shipped. Because my work requires a lot of travelling, I made sure that the car is ready to be shipped as soon as I find a buyer for it.I will not be able to meet you to show you the car, but I am available for any information you may need. Feel free to e-mail me, I check my inbox very often.
I want to tell you that I am not selling this car for profit or due to 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 transaction will be made through eBay company for the safety of both of us. I've already included the car into eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection, so I will sell it only through this program.
Here is how the process works:
- you give me your shipping address,
- I start a transaction on eBay Motors,
- they send you the payment instructions,
- you send the money into eBay trust account,
- they confirm me that they received the funds,
- I ship the car,
- you receive the car and approve them to pay me,
- they send me the money.
You'll receive the car papers along with the car.
They will hold the money until the car is delivered to you, with properly executed title. You will have 5 business days for inspection. If the car is not like described you will have to ship it back at the end of the 5 business days on my expense, but I am sure that you will love it.
In order to move forward I will need your full name and address.
eBay will get in touch with you with further details and instructions.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Dennis
It seems like there are a lot of SSR's and Prowlers scattered around the country in sealed containers.

You would think they could get a little more imaginative in their spiel. They are always abroad doing social work for some organization like UNICEF.

How to Report Fraud
Help us stop fraud. If you receive a suspicious email, let us and law enforcement know right away.
Step 1: Forward any suspicious emails to us immediately at fraudwatch@autotrader.com. Don't change the subject line or send it as an attachment-doing so could prevent us from identifying trends and preventing similar scams. To speak directly to a Fraud Watch Customer Service Representative, call 1-877-742-8040 (Mon.-Fri. 8 a.m.-10 p.m., Sat. 10 a.m.-4 p.m. EST).
Step 2: File a complaint with the Internet Fraud Complaint Center to inform federal and state law enforcement agencies. Report the fraud to local law enforcement as well.
We strongly recommend that you report fraud to law enforcement (Step 2). AutoTrader.com investigates all reports in an effort to protect our customers against future fraud. However, it's not likely we can help you get your money back. And we can't arrest the thieves who stole it.
