Thank you for your interest in purchasing my 2010 Polaris Ranger 900 XP Browning Edition. The reason I'm selling this machine way below market value, is because I'm serving in Offutt AFB, Nebraska but I was promoted and transferred to Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage Alaska for a 3 years period, so I don't need it anymore at this time. I don't want it get old in my garage, and I need to sell it before February 17th. The vehicle is in pristine condition, no accident history, clear title, no dents or dings. Always garaged, never abused or raced, 254 hours, 4x4, 1249 miles, automatic transmission. If you are interested, it's still available for sale and the price, as stated in the ad, is $2000. Let me know if you are interested.

2nd email: As I've told you, at this moment I am in Offutt AFB, NE in a military base. I do a special training program each day, and we are not allowed to use phone line or get out of the unit, during training, otherwise I would have called you and seal the deal on phone. At the moment, email works best for me. The machine is already at our Offutt Air Force Base Library form Offutt AFB, NE sealed and ready to go. The delivery process will be managed by me. I think I can have it there at your home address within 2-3 working days. It will come with a clear title and reg. I am a member of the eBay buyer protection program and using this service you will get a 5 days testing period after delivery. I need to know if you are interested so I can ask eBay to send you the details on this deal. You will also find in the invoice from them the eBay Support Department phone number where you can call for more details !
If interested please include in your next email your contact info for eBay (full name, shipping address and phone number), so we can get the ball rolling.
Thank you! |

The email and the car sounded too good to be true.... low and behold the EXACT wording from her email was found on this scam website. PASS.

Posting on Craigslist Titled: 2006 SUN TRACKER PARTY BARGE 20 FT PONTOON boat W/TRAILER - post id: 6133849179 - $2600 Boat + Trailer
- I emailed them with interest and received the following response:
"Hi there,
I saw that you are interested in my 2006 Sun Tracker Pontoon. This boat was used only in fresh water, no salt corrosion. Everything is serviced and in top working order.
The engine is a 50hp mercury, four stroke, fuel injected three cylinder. It has nice features including; snap on covers, bimini top with boot, carpet, full gauges, power tilt/trim, power steering, marine cd player, reboarding ladder, tanning deck, 2 folding fishing chairs, rod holders, and ample seating and storage plus life vests.
I believe that $2,500 (including delivery, trailer and handling to your address) is more than a fair price considering everything it has. Hate to sell but my husband died 1 month ago and it brings me bad memories and that’s the reason I want to sell it a.s.a.p.
I travel a lot with my work, and that is why I want to use Online Services of eBay Motors for the safety of both of us.
Please let me know if you're further interested, email back.
Thank you"
- The response was chalked full of Red Flag so I googled the Email Address: michele.k.more@gmail.com and the first hit is a Scam Report site.
Figures!
Stay Safe - Fuck that asshole - I'm notifying the FBI Internet Crime Center but who knows what they'll be able to do. Good luck!

She is posting a Polaris 900 side by side for $2500 on Craigslist. Has pictures and all. I asked certain questions and it just didn't feel right so I looked her up and she has been busted twice already and the wording is the exact wording she sent me in her email when she responded to my interest..
