(The truck is still available. 2003 Toyota Tacoma extra cab 4X4 TRD!

The general condition of the truck is excellent, very well maintained, no damages, no mechanical problems and no electrical issues. Automatic transmission. It has a clear title free of any liens or loans and a clean carfax, free of accidents. This beauty has only 89,600 miles on it and the final and last price is $1,980. Do my divorce settlement, I own this truck and as a woman without driver's license I don't need it so I'm trying to get rid of it as soon as possible. Now I work as a casino dealer on a cruise ship. All documents, including owner's manual, clear title and a bill of sale on your name will be provided along with the truck. Also about payment and shipping I will use only eBay vehicle purchase protection so we can both be protected. I look forward to hear from you. Please tell me what other information would you be interested in and I will try and provide it to you. More pics available upon request.

Thank you,
Catherine Nolley)

Then got this other email from him/her. notice the orthographic mistakes probably using some kind of translator.


(As I told you in my first email, I divorced, now I work like casino dealer. I can't call you due the casino policy. The dealers have prohibited to use phone.The car is already at the shipping company in Slc, UT created and ready for shipping.The car will arrive at your address in 3-5 working days. The shipping cost is included in the total price of the car! You will have 5 days to test it and inspect the car prior to make any purchase. So if you want to make this deal I need the following details from you: full name and shipping address, phone #.
After I will have all this details I will forward them to eBay and I will proceed this transaction. eBay will contact you with all the details that you need to complete this deal and also to see that I am covered by them and that I am legit seller. Waiting your email with the requested details. Access the link for more pics: http://s1327.beta.photobucket.com/user/taco03saleowner/library/2003%20Tacoma

After this email i stopped all kind of comunication with this person and searched for more information about her came across this website and found a similar story and decided to share. Always make as much questions as you can before buying anything, share little to no information as posibole and always try to find info on the web about the seller and schedule to view item in person, this is the more reliable way.
