Someone by the name of Jessica Wallace was selling a boat through Craigslist. She had asked me to go though Ebay to complete the transaction. This is when I contacted Ebay at 855-383-0383. They had stated that I had Viruses and Malware on my computer. Specifically Metbroot Spyware. They then wanted to charge $500-$600 to have a level 6 anti hacking expert to fix the problem.

Email from him,
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in purchasing my 2004 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. The reason I’m selling this SUV way below market value, is because I’m serving in Offutt AFB, Nebraska but I was promoted and transferred to Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage Alaska for a 3 years period, so I don’t need it anymore at this time. I don’t want it get old in my garage, and I need to sell it before March 29th. The SUV, is in pristine condition, clear title, no dents or dings. Always garaged, never abused or raced, 52,451 miles, gas fuel type, 4.0L V6 4WD engine and automatic transmission. If you are interested, it’s still available for sale and the price, as stated in the ad, is $1.800. Let me know if you are interested. As I’ve told you, at this moment I am in Offutt AFB, NE in a military base. I do a special training program each day, and we are not allowed to use phone line or get out of the unit, during training, otherwise I would have called you and seal the deal on phone. At the moment, email works best for me. The SUV is already at our Offutt Air Force Base Library form Offutt AFB, NE sealed and ready to go. The delivery process will be managed by me. I think I can have it there at your home address within 2-3 working days. It will come with a clear title and reg. I am a member of the eBay buyer protection program and using this service you will get a 5 days testing period after delivery. I need to know if you are interested so I can ask eBay to send you the details on this deal. If interested please include in your next email your contact info for eBay (full name, shipping address and phone number), so we can get the ball rolling.
