Victim Location 47630
Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill
I responded to Craigslist Ad selling a 2011 Yamaha Grizzly ATV for $1500.00. Seller contacted me via email directing me to complete the transaction through the eBay Payment Invoice provided via a separate email designed to represent an official eBay web site. I subsequently identified seller’s actions as a scam/fraud via internet research. I am maintaining all email correspondence in my Archives in the event you want to peruse it. Here is some of the dialog:

Hello, selling my 2011 Grizzly 700 fuel injected with factory power steering, and only 256 miles and 39 hours of very light use. Mint condition overall, has been garage kept and is near showroom condition. This machine runs and drives like new, has tons of power, starts up instantly and does not smoke or leak fluids. Independent suspension makes even the roughest trails ride smooth. The push button 2×4/4×4 has an optional differential lock that will take you anywhere you want to go.
My asking price is $1,500. Probably it deserves more, but I just finished the divorce, and I own the quad. I don’t ask to much for it since this is an Urgent Sale! I need to sell it fast….I have some financial problems. I’m trying to close this deal through eBay due my work. The deal includes free delivery since I have a voucher and can ship anywhere in US.
If you’re interested to purchase just email me your full name, shipping address and phone#, so I can notify eBay that you are selected as my buyer and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure.
Bellow I attached some pics so you can see how clean is it.
Thank you,
Sara
I have informed eBay about our transaction and they confirmed that the notice regarding payment and delivery has been sent so check your SPAM/JUNK folder if you don’t find the notice in your inbox, some emails goes there. Please let me know if you got the info from eBay. As soon as your payment will be received, delivery process will start!
Thank you!
