Does this sound like a scam?

The SUV is at the shipping co. in Jefferson City,Mo sealed and ready to ship it,as I got a new job and moved here to start over.I've signed up with PayPal so the payment will be submitted via their services. I'm very busy with my job, so I can't meet you in person,reason for why I chose to sell my SUV online.
If you want to continue,I will need your name&address. After I receive your info, I'll forward it to PayPal and they will send us both invoices. PayPal will instruct you on how to make a refundable payment. They hold the funds until the SUV is delivered to buyer, inspected and until he confirms that has received the SUV in it's described condition. You will have 5 days to decide if you want to keep it, and if PayPal should release the money to me or not. If for any reason you won't like the SUV (I don't see that happening) PayPal will refund you and I will instruct the shipping co. to store the SUV until I find a new buyer. It's not necessary to ship the SUV back. If you want to buy it,please send me your info so we can proceed.

Thank you, Thanks for being interested in buying my SUV and excuse me for replying so late, but i just came back from holiday! It`s in perfect condition,no scratches,damages, never been implicated in any accidents, it has only 44,550 miles and the price is $4,600.It has a clear title, free of any liens or loans. Because of my divorce settlement,i own this SUV and as a woman without driver`s license i don`t need it so i`m trying to get rid of it as soon as possible (that`s why i`m selling it so cheap). We will use PayPal for our protection, i want only legit transactions. Let me know where are you located,maybe we can organize an inspection.
Have a great day!

It is firefighter owned and extremely well taken care of. All oil changes were used with only the finest synthetic oil. All paperwork and receipts for upgrades are well documented. Clean title.  adriana.desouza

SAME ADD PLACED IN THE DENVER POST classified section 1/20/11.

 

I attempted to buy it and revieved the same e-mails listed previously. I have now recieved the Paypal emails requesting the money be wired to a bank. I can not find anyone at Paypal to verify the transaction. The entire process seems to circumvent Paypal system. This is a scam for sure.

The name of the seller was Giselle Gavin

 

Once I started digging a little deeper that name, type of sale phone numbers and pretty much everything else involved were part of other scams that have been reported.  Please be careful and do not buy anything from this seller.

be aware of quaters   on ebay selling america the beautiful quarter mount hood. i bought it and paid him for it only to have him cancel sale and reoffer it for more money. lEbay/Paypal allowed him to do this without even asking for my evidece I had paid him. This is what often occurs and why you need to contact iansplanet for the class action that is being prepared.

This is absolutely a scam. The name being used is Rita Lorens, however if you google that name, same vehicle, phone number, other minor details, you'll see it's being sold all over the country. Actually, they're using multiple high demand vehicles, multiple sites and advertising in multiple locations. Each look like the ultimate goal is to get people to send money through PayPal...

Apparently someone learned from their recent mistakes and they'll now offer to meet for an inspection. I assume agreeing to meet will result in some difficulty, but here's my email:

I also found an ad like this online. same wording when i sent an inquiry. i was so excited to think i could be so lucky, but now i am GRATEFUL to all the people who have posted under this topic. obviously this is a giant scam. This car was posted by a "Giselle". It is a 2008 honda civic with under 20,000 miles. I also ran a carfax and found the car was registered in Michigan last December, but now it is SUPPOSEDLY ready to ship from MO. right.
