A coworker found a 6 series BMW on the craigslist for only 15 thou

For fun, we investigated to see just how big of a scam this puppy is. Here's the response letter we received from the seller:

Hi again (This is the first letter we sent to them),

The car is already at the shipping company in Miami, Florida sealed and ready for shipping. I have a contract with eBay so this deal must go through them. I'm very busy with my job and I`m left out of town so I can't meet you in person, so this is the reason why I chose to sell my car over the Internet.
Here is how it will work:
1. First of all I will need from you is the following details:
- Full Name
- Full Shipping Address
2. After I will receive the info, I will forward them to eBay.
3. They will process your info and will send us both invoices. eBay will send you the details on how to make a refundable payment.
4. They holds the funds until the car is delivered to buyer , inspected and the buyer confirms that he received the car in the described condition.According with the eBay you have 5 days from the time you receive the car to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not.
5.If you for any reason will not like the car (but i asure you that will not happening) eBay will refund the money and I will instruct the shipping company to store the car until I will find a new buyer.Is not necassary to ship the car back .
If you wish to make the transaction, please send me the necessary info so that we can proceed. I look forward to hear from you.
Thank you,
Tiffany

those funds from Nigeria too, to help out...

And all she needs is our bank account number! It's so simple.

Sorry, but that cracked me up. "They holds the funds..." Classic.

I saw someone "selling" a brand new 15 inch Macbook Pro on craigslist for 500 bucks, so just for shits and giggles I sent the person an e-mail and got a reply about being out of the country, etc...

I LOLed and deleted it...

from cooking meth to come up with this scam.
