Looking for a van on craigslist, saw a 2005 town and country van with all the bells and whistles. Janet Leighton was the seller asking 3940.00 for the van. I emailed back and offered her 3400.00. she said she priced it low because she needed to pay her mortgage and that she had just transferred to (Personal Info Removed) MT with her job. She accepted the offer and said eBay would send instructions on how to make the money transfer. eBay sent what seemed to be official documents with an invoice number and an agents name which would handle the case. The agents name was Amy Melissa Pine at (Personal Info Removed). I was instructed to send the money to the agent to be held until i view the vehicle for 5 days. I sent the money through western union and never heard from them again. At that point i realized it was a scam.

Hi,
The vehicle is well maintained, no damages or scratches. You will inspect the vehicle before the payment will be made. You will also receive all necessary documents in order to finalize the purchase. I am selling the vehicle under market value because I need to pay the mortgage. I recently moved in Glasgow, MT with my new job and I have the vehicle here with me. The shipping and insurance are included in the price because I won a promotion at uShip (1 free shipping). Email me back if you're interested and have further questions.
Specs: 2003 Ford Escape XLT // Miles: 84,570 // 1 Owner // Clear Title // Engine: 3.0L V6 FI DOHC // Transmission: Automatic // Sunroof // Color: Blue with Gray Leather interior// Air Conditioning // Cruise Control // Power Driver Seat, Bucket Seats, 2nd Row Bench Seat, Adjustable Steering Wheel2nd Row Bench Seat,Bucket Seats,Power Driver Seat // NON-Smoker // Garage Kept.
