LOL. SUPER CL SCAM! WOO

Hello,

I have received your email regarding the 2005 Acura TL with only 26,252 miles.
The car is in perfect condition,with no scratches on it,no damage,wasn't involved in any accidents, clear title. I am the second owner of the vehicle. Car's VIN is : 19UUA65525A073573, so you can run a Carfax check to see its ok.
The price for the car is $6,200 with shipping included.
The car was my husband`s as he loved it very much, but he did not enjoy it as he died in a IRAQ 3 month ago. It brings very bad memories to me, I want to get rid of it.
The buyer will receive the car with all papers and receipts that he needs to register it to his name.
Shipping will be done whit DAS and it will take no more then 2-3 days. I have a friend there who will manage me a low price shipping and I assumed that it is my duty to pay for shipping it.It will be delivered directly to your address.
Anyway, I have to let you know that I want a fast deal so if you are really interested in buying it, please reply with your full name, your shipping address.(street,city,state,zip code)
The transaction will close only through ebay so we both will be protected.
I want ebay because as they are the biggest company on the internet and I think that we can close this deal fast and safe for both of us. Also I am not very familiar with the internet transactions and ebay is the only one I know.
I will look for your email so that we can move forward with this deal!
Let me know.

Regards,
Jessica Murray

You must be new to Craigslist. There are millions of these scams everyday. You can spot one right way by first the too good to be true price and second no phone number to contact them.

The listing is posted on the San Francisco Bay area Craigslist and the TL has a Virginia inspection sticker that expired July '08 in the windshield.
