Type of a scam Online Purchase
Thanks for replying to my ad. I'm selling it 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. Let me give you a few details about it: 2008 Honda Accord with only 106,125 miles on it, no accident history, clear title, no dents or dings and no scratches. Always adult driven and garaged, never abused or raced. If you are interested, it's still available for sale and the price, as stated in the ad, is $2,500.00, so if you have the money ready to buy it email me back.
Vehicle title - Clean
Mileage - 106,125
Transmission - Automatic
Fuel type - Gasoline
I look forward to hearing from you,
SSgt. Martha Pollard

Dear *** ***,
eBay Seller Martha Pollard started the transaction through eBay Buyer Protection Program!
After verifying the membership of this specific member and confirming his overall good standing, we have approved the development of this transaction,based on Seller's purchase protection account on file with eBay Safety Department.
Five easy steps to complete your eBay transactions:
Buyer and Seller Agree to Terms: Both parties agree to terms of the transaction, which includes a description of the Vehicle, sale price and 10 days for the Buyer's inspection.
Any invoices that are not paid within 48 hours will expire and your Vehicle will no longer be reserved.
Buyer Pays eBay: If a Buyer has a very low feedback/reputation score or is new to eBay, Credit/Debit card or PayPal is allowed if amount is not greater than $500.
In case that your purchase amount exceeds $500 the Buyer submits payment by iTunes Reloadable Prepaid Gift Cards.
Seller Ships the Vehicle: Upon payment verification, the Seller is authorized to ship the vehicle and submit tracking information. eBay verifies that the Buyer receives the vehicle. The inspection period begins once the Vehicle is delivered.
Buyer receives the Vehicle: The Buyer has 10 days to verify the item and the option to accept or reject. Return shipping will be at the Seller's expense.
The Seller is Paid by eBay: The transaction is complete. If the buyer is not satisfied, he must notify our agency with the item issues, after the inspection period. A solution to most problems can usually be negotiated between the Buyer and Seller. If this is not possible, the Buyer will receive the money from our trust account.
In case the Buyer refuse to continue the transaction with the Seller from other reasons, our agency will return the funds to the Buyer.

The vehicle has an undisclosed or unknown lien against its title.
The vehicle make, model or year is different than what was described in the seller's listing at the time you placed your bid or offer.

The vehicle has a title with an undisclosed salvage, rebuilt/rebuildable,unrebuildable, reconstructed, scrapped/destroyed, junk, lemon,
