So if you've been hunting around on Craigslist in the Bay Area and Sacramento areas, you might have came across this ad http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/ctd/3327271654.html

I :censor: my pants at the chance to get it, but after a few emails "Jenny" is in Topeka, KS and the TLC is at a shipping company waiting to be shipped to my door :o...I hope it's not a scam and a fellow Mudder could swipe up this great deal, but it seems to good to be true. :bang:
Here are the emails and her Photobucket of the cruiser...very nice, but...

Hey there,
My name is Jenny, happy to see you are interested in my Toyota Land Cruiser. Let me give you a few details about it. Really good shape, never had any problems with it, no scratches nor dents, the suv is free of any accidents, 2,760 miles, manual transmission, 6 Cyl 4.2L engine, gray exterior/gray interior, the title is legally under my name, clear and free of any liens or loans. I wanted sell it at its Blue Book value but without any luck so I changed up my mind and reduced the price drastically at $6.900. I got divorced recently this is how I got it and I want to sell it because I already have a car. So no second one needed.
If you want to see pics of the suv you can go at http://s1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/ToyotaLandCruiserFJ40/?albumview=slideshow
For questions just e-mail me.

And her second email after I asked where she was:

As I told you in my first email, I recently got divorced. I got a new job and moved to Topeka KS for a new start. The SUV is already at the shipping company in Topeka sealed and ready for the shipping. My presence won't be necessary because I prearranged the deal with Amazon. The deal includes free delivery and it will arrive at your address in 3 days. You will have 5 days to try out prior to making any purchase and if by any reason you find something you don't like about it you can send it back at my expense.
If you are interested in knowing more info about how it works, I can ask Amazon to send you an email with more information on how to purchase it. Amazon will contact you shortly after they have the details with all the information that you need to complete this deal and you will also have proof that I am covered by them and a legitimate seller. If you would like to receive the email from Amazon will all the transaction information please reply with your full name and phone # and they will contact you right away.
 
SCAM!

Same ad (and reply) is in Jacksonville, Orlando and Atlanta (and probably more). Funny enough, the rig isn't listed on Topeka's CL.
 
Definitely a scam. Same reply here in Atlanta.

Yes, and Jenny is also doing with an 80 series too. Boise, Tulsa, Austin, OK City, etc... I emailed her today and told her to move onto a different make of vehicles because the LC Community was sick of her crap.

I also asked her if she was giving free BJs as she was obviously trying to screw (but I was a little more vulgar) people out of their money. So if you reply to her ask her that question. Maybe she'll get the picture?
 
kruger.j35@msn.com is her email address if any of you would like to contact her directly.
 
She has a really nice Malibu wake board boat also.
 
haha that thing was listed all over NJ yesterday, right when I saw it I knew it was a scam there was another one last week
 
I just sent her the money. Jenny seems really nice and honest. Here' a pic of the cash before I sealed it in the envelope.

I can't wait until the big Amazon truck delivers it!!!

Def a scam...........beware!
 
When looking for a dodge rama couple years back on craigslist, i ran across about 15 of these, always the same, widowed, divorced, just need to get rid of it!

IF ITS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, AND ITS ON THE INTERNET, ITS A SCAM.
