Please let me explain to you the process of this transaction and you can decide if you want to proceed or not. As I told you in my first email, I recently lose my son. I also got a new job and moved to Omaha Nebraska in order to start over. I'm in Omaha Nebraska but my presence won't be necessary because I prearranged the deal with Amazon. The piano is in Omaha at the shipping company, ready to be delivered. The deal includes free delivery and it will arrive at your address in 2-3 days. You will have 3 days to test it and inspect the piano 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 want to make this deal I need the following details from you: full name, address, and phone#. Once I have your info I will forward them to Amazon to get things started. 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. Waiting for your email with the requested details. Regards Kelly and Mike
The Item was not listed on Amazon.

I received the same email??? But what is the scam?? She didn't respond??
Hello,
My name is Beatrice Sanders, I'm emailing you regarding the 2003 Rockwood 232 ROO that I have for sale. The camper is in perfect condition, with no need for additional repairs, no special marks whatsoever, never been involved in any accidents. The interior looks great (smoke-free). The trailer is a 2003 model, Rockwood Roo, Hybrid in that the front and rear beds open up. It also has a push out that moves the "living room" out about 2 feet. This gives you a lot of space inside for such a small trailer. It is 23 feet long and has a gross vehicle weight of 4770lbs. This is very light weight for a trailer that sleeps 8 people. It is most comfortable with 5-6 people but you can fit 8 if you need to. The front drop down is a queen size, the back drop is a full, the table folds down for a bed and the couch folds flat. It has a bathroom, shower, tub, kitchen, refridgerator, microwave, stove, oven, sink, lots of drawer and cabinet space. It has built in stabilizing jacks, an awning, water heater, water tank, holding tanks. It has a furnace for cold nights and an Air Conditioner that works on the hottest days. It has a clear title with no loans or liens on it. I'm selling the camper because my 21's years old son died 2 months ago in a car accident. A drunk driver hit him and his fiancee coming to our home at his little brother birthday. It was his camper and it brings me bad memories and that's the reason I want to sell it as soon as possible. The price that I'm asking is $2,000.00 Just let me know if you are still interested and where are you located .
Thank you, Betty and Mike Sanders

Let me know where are you located.

Here's the email I just received regarding a craiglist listing on the same Yamaha C3. An earlier listing had the same picture but contained the laurenxneil@gmail.com email address. I googled the address and got here. Same scam, different name and story.
Hello,
My name is Beatrice Sanders, I'm emailing you regarding the Yamaha C3 Grand Piano that I have for sale. It looks exactly as pictured, it has no humidity exposure, there are no scratches or dings on the piano, over the years, the instrument has been gently played, very well cared for and tuned regularly. The instrument measures 6' and it was purchased new from a local Yamaha piano dealer in the early 1980s. The standard piano bench shown in the photo is included, the bench accommodates two people side by side. I'm selling the instrument because my 21's years old son died 2 months ago in a car accident. A drunk driver hit him and his fiancee. It was his piano and it brings me bad memories and that's the reason I want to sell it as soon as possible. The price that I'm asking is $2,300.00. Just let me know if you are still interested and where are you located.
Thank you, Beatrice

Same as the below - suspiciously low price on Yamaha GC-1. email #1: "Thank you for your interest in buying our piano. It looks exactly as pictured, over the years, this piano has been gently played, very well cared for and tuned regularly. As I`m pregnant and in about a month I will give birth to a beautiful little girl, me and my husband have decided to sell some of our stuff to get some money to rent a bigger apartment. We are selling it for only $2,400 because that's the amount we need to pay the loan we already contracted to get the apartment(we need more room for the little one) and hope to get the money in a few days so we are trying to pull up a quick sale. I need a fast transaction, and I can`t afford to waste time on advertising the piano at the true value. If you have any more questions please don`t hesitate to reply. Thank you, Leslie & Mike Streets Information 2005 Yamaha GC1 Conservatory BabyGrand Piano Mark III Disklavier with all the bells and whistles Size: 5FT 3 INCHES;" email #2: "Right now we are in Helena, MT because my husband was moved here with the job and we already found an apartment here. The piano is here in at the shipping company sealed and ready to ship it. The delivery process is payed by us and we want to finish this deal through Google Checkout because they are a big company and we can both be protected and insured. You will receive the instrument in 1-2 days and you will get the chance to inspect it 3 days, play it and everything you want. During that 3 days testing period I will not be getting any money. If by any reason the piano is not as described or if you find any problems with it, I will arrange to ship it back on my cost. Google will hold the funds until the inspection period is over and you decide if you're going to buy it or not. This way you're not going to pay for something you haven't seen and with the inspection period you can make sure it's as described. If you're interested to purchase just email me with your full name, shipping address and your phone number, so I can notify Google that you are selected as my buyer and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure."

Here is the latest email - saw a recent add for the $2500 Yamaha C3 in the DC Craiglist. Here is the sob story they gave by email:
