Must be so cheap because of the FMIC. It isn't even listed in the ad, but it's visible in the picture -- owner clearly does not want you to know of this FMIC.

I just got the same E-mail as Amandyke, who knows what they're going to try. But it's a scam.

Hi,

I am stationed at Elmendorf AFB.

I will have the car shipped from Alaska by an US Air Force cargo plane so there won't be any additional shipping costs. Also I will arrange for a truck to transport the car to your home address or, if you like, you can pick it up from the nearest airport in your area. The shipping will take 6-8 days, depending on your location.Shipping will be door to door,to your home address,somebody must be home when the car arrives to sign for the reception.The car will arrive with all the papers and documents required for registration and the keys. The clear title and the bill of sale will be already signed by me.

The payment will be done through eBay.You will send the money to eBay and as soon as the payment is confirmed they will notify me to proceed with the shipping. I will ship the car, you will receive it and you will have 5 days for inspection, both the car and the paperwork and the option to accept or reject the car.The inspection time period will begin as soon as you sign for receiving the car at your requested address.During all this time eBay will hold the money into a trust account.So, this is not a blind transaction,you can see the car before decided to buy it.If you are satisfied with the car and decide to keep it you inform eBay about this and they will release the money to me. If the car is not as advertised and decide not to keep it eBay will refund you the money, no questions asked, and shipping back the car will be my concern. I think this is more than fair for the both of us.Please take into consideration that I will get paid only after you receive the car and make sure everything is as agreed.

If you agree with these terms and you have the money, send me your full name and the address where you want the car to be delivered to and I will initiate the transaction with eBay. You will receive all the transaction details from them.

I will appreciate an answer as soon as possible.

Thank you

I was looking for a car last week too and found a '99 ES300 that looked interesting. I emailed and got the following response a couple of days later. It's obviously a similar scam.

Hello,

This 1999 LEXUS ES 300 with 95,088 miles, has no leaks or drips and does not smoke at all.This car has been extremely well maintained with a full service history .I am the second owner of this car.I bought it when I was serving in Fort Lauderdale and is slightly used in 100% working and looking conditions with a clear title free of encumbrances and liens. I have dropped my price to $2750.00 since I need to sell it before October 15, 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 & PHONE NUMBER to open a case with eBay's Buyer Protection Program and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure. The financial part will be managed by them, which means that you will have a 7 days inspection period before committing to buy the vehicle. In this way both, buyer and seller are 100% covered during the steps of this transaction.

Hope to hear from you soon,
Corporal Alice Terry,

It's pretty sickening to know that people are using fake military titles and backgrounds to scam people out of money.

Oh my what a coincidence, you're going to be deploying to Spain in a week for a whole month? Wow it's a good thing eBay also acts like an escrow service huh!

Hello,

I have to inform you that during this week my Squadron will be deployed to Spain.I'll be stationed on a military base in Sevilla,Spain for the next month with my training program.So i would very much appreciate if you could send the payment to the ebay agent from Spain.I'll be leaving to Spain this week and this way i would be able to receive the money there.The vehicle will still be shipped from Alaska,so nothing has changed.The price is still the same.If you do that for me,I will also help you by sending the car as Gift and no tax/customs will apply on your end.

I already informed ebay about my deployment. They opened a case for us and they will let you know what you have to do for the payment.Get back to me as soon as you receive their invoice.You should hear from them within 48 hours

Thank you!

My response:

Wow I had no idea that eBay started offering escrow services! I figured you were going to go through escrow.com or something like that. What a fantastic service they're offering! Oh do you think you could send me a photo of you and a couple of guys from your squadron waiving goodbye to the car for me? That'd be really fun to add to my scrap book!
