妹妹一家人,经过13年的等待,终于来了,家里顿时热闹了许多。新移民一切从零开始,好在,妹妹妹夫能吃苦耐劳,也打算好了,要在美国给自己打出一片新天地。可是在我们这“农村”里,没车就像没腿一样,所以买个车成了当务之急。
在几个群里发问,也有朋友介绍,可是一位97年的车爷爷也要1600美刀。于是就决定在著名的“craigslist”上面看看。一溜儿车看过去,忽然眼前一亮,1500美刀2007年的丰田,不可能!是第一印象。打个电话过去,没人接。下午,居然回了个信息,叫送电邮去。赶紧地送个电邮地址,不一会儿,就收到电邮,车真是好车啊。别说1500,5000也是值的。
电邮里还有故事,琼斯女士在军队服役,8月5号就要离开基地,出发到国外执行任务。而她的丈夫在4个月前去世了,这辆车一直在车库里呆着。琼斯女士并不想卖车,可是没办法啊。看到这里,我顿时同情心泛滥了,好可怜哦。不能问太多了,赶紧问能不能去看看车,然后就去开回来好了。
琼斯女士从“紧张的集训”中又给发来了邮件。2,3天之内,车会被送到我的地址,她属于“电子海湾的买方保护组织”,买她的车7天之内,我们不满意,她就拿不到钱。这就更好了。我们都欢心鼓舞,觉得天上真的掉了个大馅饼,准准地砸在我们头上了。
我老公自然持怀疑态度:“她为什么在要离开美国前几天才卖车,前几个月干嘛了?” 被我反驳道:“你就不相信世界上有好事吗?你看人家多可怜。” 突然我也觉得这故事也太圆满了,太戏剧了,怎么就觉得有点说不出的戏剧呢?
打开电脑,把“电子海湾的买方保护组织”打入电脑,真是不看不知道,一看吓一跳,原来这个词组和诈骗紧紧联系在一起。这样的卖车的形式从2007年就有了,不过故事是大儿子四个月以前就死了,卖的也是日本车。再接着往下看,真是触目惊心,好多人都上当受骗,交了几千块钱,什么也没得到。
当
时就打电话给电子海湾的服务台,那边人家还没接电话,先发通知:如果谁收到“电子海湾的买方保护组织”这类卖车的,千万别上当,是诈骗!诈骗!听着我就笑了,太好玩了。然后电话通了,服务生再次确认是诈骗,叫别上当。我问他们怎么会让骗子用电子海湾的名字骗人,服务生说没办法, 骗子们能复制他们的网站内容,做的和真的一模一样。天哪,我们还能相信谁啊?和老公笑了一会儿,接着看网上的血泪控诉,没看完就睡着了,而且这一夜睡得特别好。
第二天,骗子又来电说eBay要给你寄帐单了,好好查你的邮件啊。我回答:你女儿多大了?你老公怎么死的?没一会儿工夫,eBay 的邮件真的来了,要我往paypal付钱。这些看起来非常真实,如果我不知道真相,肯定会拿出信用卡了。仔细看看那个发信人的地址,居然是个真实地址,在网上查了一下,是个多用户的房子。周围的治安情况:光昨天一天就好几起偷车事件。
又看了看网上说受骗者只所以上当受骗,第一点,贪婪。哈哈,太击中要害了,今后还是要记住,天上要是掉了馅饼,还是躲得远远的,别砸了头。
几个星期过去了,还好,骗子没给我送车了。 要是真送个偷来的车,我还真不知道怎么办呢。
写下这个故事,是为了提醒大家,如果遇到这类卖车的,千万不要上当哦。下面是卖车的给的电邮, 看起来真的很感人哦:

“Hello,
this is Patricia Jones, and I'm emailing you about 2007 Toyota Camry
SE, with an gasoline engine, automatic transmission and
only 84,850 miles. Never had or need any paint/body work done, garaged
keep always, without any mechanical problems, tires and wheels are in
great shape as well, electric is working perfectly. The engine 2.4L 2362CC l4 GAS DOHC Naturally Aspirated runs
very good and the automatic transmission shifts perfectly. Has a clean
and clear US title in my name and there are no liens or loans on it.
This vehicle was used by my husband who died 4 month ago. The price was
reduced at $1500 because I'm in a hurry to find a buyer. I need to sell
the vehicle before the 05 of the next month, when I will be leaving on
military duty with my medical team out of the country for a year and do
not want to store my vehicle. Hate to sell it but its not worth keeping
insurance and paying storage fees for a year. Also, my daughter didn't
like it so there's no use on keeping it.

Hi,
I
have a low price on my 2005 Nissan Maxima SE because I want to sell the
car very quickly.The price is $2,250 including delivery to your home
address.The car is in perfect condition, no electric problems, no
accidents/liens/loans. No scratches, never been repainted. I have all
the car manuals, title,documents. I'm selling this car because my child
of only 23 died 4 months ago in a car accident,a drunk driver hit him
and his fiancee. He was with his fiance's car coming to our home at his
little brother birthday of 10 years old. The car belonged to my son and
it brings me bad memories and that's the reason I want to sell it. The
last price is $2,250. Me and my husband travel a lot with our business
and we want to make this deal through eBay Protection Program.
