Hi,

This 2003 HONDA ACCORD EX,2.4L L4 PFI DOHC, FRONT WHEEL DRIVE,VIN: 1HGCM56643A063628, runs and drives excellent. It has been extremely well maintained with a full service history and 89,430 miles! Transmission is Automatic shifts smoothly.


It has no leaks or drips and does not smoke at all, slightly used in 100% working and looking conditions with a clear title free of encumbrances and liens. I bought it when i was serving in Carlisle Barracks ,PA .The car will be delivered from Pennsylvania , US and the shipping is free for you !


I have dropped my price to $2,000 (purchase price) since this is an Urgent Sale! and I need to sell it before July 30, when I will be deployed in Afghanistan with my platoon replacing the troops scheduled to come home.


If you're interested to conclude this purchase in a timely manner email me your: Full Name and Shipping address, to open a case with eBay. They will contact you to explain the entire procedure. The financial part will be managed by eBay, which means that you will have a 10 days inspection period before committing to buy the car. In this way both, buyer and seller are 100% covered during the steps of this transaction.


Hope to hear from you soon!
Maj. Ela Clarke

This was the initial correspondance I received, to begin the process to purchase the car. I then responded with an email, and was put in touch with the "eBay Team (see above) with a bogus reference number, invoice, and carfax report, to send via Western Union the first installment of $1, 000, 00 to a Antonio RHodes, (their agent in London) a wire transfer. In addition each time I sent a transfer it cost $68.00 US dollars. I then was informed that while the car would be delivered after that, it didn't happen. Instead they sent an additional email stating that because people danmage the vehicles while deciding to buy them, during the 30 day period, that I needed to send the remainder of the funds ($1, 000.00 to cover any repairs) in the event that damages to the car are greater than the sale price. Once I had wired the remaining amount, I received an email stating the vehicle would be delivered onWednesday July 11, 2012, at 2:00 pm. I informed them that the time wasn't conducive for me, and they asked what time and date would be better. I arranged for delivery of the vehicle on Saturday July 14, 2012 ( any time). Needless to say I have never received the car, a call, or a refund. I'm really feeling devasted right now, that I have been a victim of this type of scam. I consider myself more savy and less gullible, and admit that I should have taken more time to do more investigating. I believed that the eBay name was reputable, reliable and honest. That they had security systems in place to prevent these types of things from happeneing. Everything was on "eBay stationary, they sent emails back and forth acknowledging when they received the wire transfers, and next steps. Everything (in hindsight) looked very legitimate, "which if it looks to good to be true, it probably is"

I hope that I will be able to recoop my money, and these people will be caught, prosecuted and serve deserved time behind bars.
