UPDATE:  This scam has been drifting west on Craigslists.  Bryan, whose eBay ad is the one copied by the scammer, was contacted by a woman who found his phone number in the scam ad.

Bryan wrote and told me, “I talked to a lady today that almost got sucked in. Her husband is in the military and the scammer told her he was overseas fighting and could arrange shipping for the jeep. She said the scammer reeled her in with the his false military fighting for our country story….she said the only thing that stopped her was my eBay ad and my phone number I put on the ad. She called me to confirm it was false.”  Bryan has reported the situation to the FBI.  You can contact the FBI at this phone number (251) 438-3674.

There’s a M-38 craigslist scam that’s been listed on about ten craigslists along the east coast. The text came from a January 5 eBay listing.

This is the pic that’s been included in the ad:

    I contacted a Gainesville, Florida ad supposedly being offered by an army warrant officer yesterday. He responded to my inquiries twice and showed nice pics for an M-38 located somewhere around Orlando, Florida for that same $2,100.

    For some reason, despite multiple requests, his replies never provided me with a phone number or location of the jeep for inspection, probably because I told him I was near Orlando and ready to do a deal with him.

    Stinking scammers.
