Hey Clint,
My name is Jenny, happy to see you are interested in my Bayliner. Let me give you a few details about it. Really good shape, used only in fresh water, good running condition, 78 hours, powered by a 150 HP mercury saltwater series, cover, trailer, all the extras included in the price, the title is legally under my name, clear and free of any liens or loans. I wanted sell it at its Blue Book value but without any luck so I changed up my mind and reduced the price drastically at $4,500. I got divorced recently this is how I got the boat and I am trying to sell it because as a single woman I don\'t have what do it with. Plus fishing/sailing is not one of my passions.
If you want to see pics of the boat you can go at: http://s1324.photobucket.com/albums/u619/2003-Bayliner-22ft-TROPHY-PRO/?albumview=slideshow
For questions just e-mail me.
Sincerely,
Jenny
then in a response to the another email I requested where I could see the boat:
Hi Clint,
As I told you in my first email, I recently got divorced. I got a new job and moved to Topeka KS for a new start. The boat is already at the shipping company in Topeka 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 try out 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 phone # and they will contact you right away.
Regards

Same as boat scam above, almost exact wording in the text.
This one was on craigslist in Greensboro NC. I contacted this
person about seeing the boat and her reply was exactly as
reported in the above scam.
Here is her reply:
Hi Gary,
As I told you in my first email I want to sell it ASAP. I got a new job and moved to Topeka KS for a new start here with my parents. The boat is already at the shipping company in Topeka crated and ready for delivery. The deal includes free delivery and it will arrive at your address in 3 days. You will have 5 days to try it out 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 interested, e-mail me your whole name and ph#, and I will forward it to Amazon so they can send you more details on how to buy it.
