I thought ad was too good to be true, but I followed it anyway, below are the emails I received from her after prompting for a response. I then received 2 emails from \"Amazon\".com. They do not handle money in this way, nor do they assist in selling vehicles cars or boats like this. She did give me a direct phone number~ 1-785-260-7148. Do not call this or 1-877-357-4092.

Hello ,
My name is Annette, and I\'m emailing you about the Jeep Liberty Limited 4X4 I have for sale. The SUV is in perfect condition, with no need for any additional repairs. Flawless exterior/interior condition, no scratches and no dents. It has never been involved in an accident. The mileage is 67,500, automatic transmission, with an 3.7L Straight 6 Cylinder Gasoline Fuel engine, red exterior and gray interior. It has a clear title with no loans or liens on it. The price was reduced at $3,300 as I need to sell the SUV before the 6th of July when I will be leaving with my platoon back to Afghanistan, so I don\'t want it getting old in my backyard.
Click on this link and you can see some pics of the Jeep: http://s1070.photobucket.com/albums/u481/2006-Jeep-Liberty/?albumview=slideshow
If you have any other questions, or need more info, please feel free to ask.

Thank you,
Annette

Hi there,
Right now I am at the military base getting ready for Afghanistan. This means that I am doing a special training and I am not allowed to get out of the unit. The SUV is already at the shipping company in Topeka KS sealed and ready for the shipping. My presence won\'t be necessary because I prearranged the deal with Amazon. The deal includes free delivery and it will arrive at your address in 3 days. You will have 5 days to test it and inspect the SUV prior to making any purchase and if by any reason you find something you don\'t like about it you can send it back at my expense.
If you are interested in knowing more info about how it works, i can ask Amazon to send you an email with more information on how to purchase it. Amazon will contact you shortly after they have the details with all the information that you need to complete this deal and you will also have proof that I am covered by them and a legitimate seller. If you would like to receive the email from Amazon will all the transaction information please reply with your full name and ph# and they will contact you right away.
Regards

Hi FXXXX,
I will ask Amazon to send you the invoice ( contact details, payment instructions) explaining how things work. After you receive the invoice,in case you decide to buy it you will have to pay through Amazon, as they will hold, protect and guarantee your money until you get the SUV. You will try it out for 5 days, and if at the end you are happy with it, you can give them the \"green\" to release the money to me. Or if not, you can just send it back and get a refund, without paying for the shipping.
If you decide to proceed with the payment please reply with your shipping address so i can make all the arrangements.

Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.

Listed a boat on Craigslist. Claims to be a US soldier getting deployed. My husband is in the military and did a name search....nothing found for that name. The emails from amazon look pretty good except for the one typo which really stands out. They typed centre instead of center. Anyway, it is a total scam as stated in the other tip offs. Everything I received is the same as above.
