Hello,

My name is Alicia Silverstone and I'm glad to see that you're interested in purchasing my 2005 Audi A6 3.2 QUATTRO, VIN: WAUDG74F75N070302 . This car is in excellent working conditions, no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage, slightly used in 100% working and looking conditions and comes with a clear title. It has not been involved in any collisions or has it undergone any repairs.
More pics here: http://s445.photobucket.com/albums/q...view=slideshow

What can I tell you in a few words is that I am an individual seller and this is my first type of sale on Craigslist. I was recently promoted and was required to move to Orlando,FL where I am staying now and where the company I work for is providing me with a vehicle, there by rendering the other unnecessary. This will be my first time selling anything over the internet.
My price is $5,200.00 USD including shipping and handling.
The car is already at the shipping company in Orlando, Florida sealed and ready for shipping.

The deal will be closed through eBay's Buyer Protection Program (which protects us both 100%). You'll make the payment to eBay and they will hold the money for you initially.
After payment is done eBay will contact me and I will ship the car to you.
The payment will be released to me ONLY AFTER you have received the car and had 5 days to inspect and test it.
The original registration and the bill of sale will be sent to you along with the vehicle. The bill of sale is the final confirmation that you have bought the car and will include our names, the amount paid and a short description of the vehicle. You will then be able to register the car in your name.

Please get back to me via email ASAP if you decide to go through with the purchase as I have other potential buyers. Please include your FULL NAME and FULL SHIPPING ADDRESS so I can pass it to eBay. You will receive all the payment and shipping details from them.
Note that the car was listed on craigslist and not on eBay! I am just using the eBay Protection Program offered by eBay.
I look forward to hear from you.

Thank you,
Alicia Silverstone

Ask for a phone #... persist until you get one (it'll take several tries).
Once you do, post all your info in the FBI online fraud form, which can be found via google... The form asks a lot of questions, so it makes me think that they'll actually do something with the info you gave them. If the schmuck is stupid enough to give a phone #... he could be toast. I just kept saying "5100 is a lot of money, and while I want the car, I am not going to send the $ until I've at least spoken with you".

I never call... I just report them.
