Story she told me is that she is a single mother with 2 kids and she has moved to Atlanta, GA.

So, I was on craigslist searching around for a vehicle in the $2,000 range to replace my 99' Dodge Durango. I found a pretty slick 2002 Mitsubishi Galant for only $2,000. It was about a 45 minute drive away from my house. This looked to good to be true of course. I contacted the seller, and they told me they would like the money transferred through eBay. I asked why I couldn't just meet them. They said they had moved. They kept asking for my housing address and full name over and over. After talking to my parents about this, my mom had said she read something about tons of eBay scams. I went on google and searched eBay scams. I found out that eBay does, in fact, NOT handle money. Nor do they deal with craigslist. (The two were actually in court against each other.) I read one of the e-mails sent by a scammer, and to no surprise did it look exactly like the e-mail i received, only difference was the name of the vehicles.

Long story short:
I found a car on craigslist, seller wanted money sent through ebay, ebay doesnt handle money nor deal with craigslist ads. Scammer is sadface, because they were close to getting another $2,000.

How the scam works:
Scammer takes a vehicle, gets its real vin number. Posts ad on craigslist.
Scammer is contacted by someone wanting the vehicle. They give a story about why they can't meet and say to use ebay to seal the deal because it is "ultimately safe for you the buyer and and I, the seller.
buyer receives a fake email to look like its from ebay (fake transaction id aswell)
Buyer is told to transfer the money via "wire" or Western Union.
Why not do this? Once the money is sent IT CAN NOT be retrieved for any reason what so ever.
Scammer receives money and is on to scam the next person in line.
