妹妹一家人，經過13年的等待，終於來了，家裡頓時熱鬧了許多。新移民一切從零開始，好在，妹妹妹夫能吃苦耐勞，也打算好了，要在美國給自己打出一片新天地。可是在我們這“農村”里，沒車就像沒腿一樣，所以買個車成了當務之急。
在幾個群里發問，也有朋友介紹，可是一位97年的車爺爺也要1600美刀。於是就決定在著名的“craigslist”上面看看。一溜兒車看過去，忽然眼前一亮，1500美刀2007年的豐田，不可能！是第一印象。打個電話過去，沒人接。下午，居然回了個信息，叫送電郵去。趕緊地送個電郵地址，不一會兒，就收到電郵，車真是好車啊。別說1500，5000也是值的。
電郵里還有故事，瓊斯女士在軍隊服役，8月5號就要離開基地，出發到國外執行任務。而她的丈夫在4個月前去世了，這輛車一直在車庫裡呆着。瓊斯女士並不想賣車，可是沒辦法啊。看到這裡，我頓時同情心泛濫了，好可憐哦。不能問太多了，趕緊問能不能去看看車，然後就去開回來好了。
瓊斯女士從“緊張的集訓”中又給發來了郵件。2，3天之內，車會被送到我的地址，她屬於“電子海灣的買方保護組織”，買她的車7天之內，我們不滿意，她就拿不到錢。這就更好了。我們都歡心鼓舞，覺得天上真的掉了個大餡餅，准准地砸在我們頭上了。
我老公自然持懷疑態度：“她為什麼在要離開美國前幾天才賣車，前幾個月幹嘛了？” 被我反駁道：“你就不相信世界上有好事嗎？你看人家多可憐。” 突然我也覺得這故事也太圓滿了，太戲劇了，怎麼就覺得有點說不出的戲劇呢？
打開電腦，把“電子海灣的買方保護組織”打入電腦，真是不看不知道，一看嚇一跳，原來這個詞組和詐騙緊緊聯繫在一起。這樣的賣車的形式從2007年就有了，不過故事是大兒子四個月以前就死了，賣的也是日本車。再接着往下看，真是觸目驚心，好多人都上當受騙，交了幾千塊錢，什麼也沒得到。
當
時就打電話給電子海灣的服務台，那邊人家還沒接電話，先發通知：如果誰收到“電子海灣的買方保護組織”這類賣車的，千萬別上當，是詐騙！詐騙！聽着我就笑了，太好玩了。然後電話通了，服務生再次確認是詐騙，叫別上當。我問他們怎麼會讓騙子用電子海灣的名字騙人，服務生說沒辦法， 騙子們能複製他們的網站內容，做的和真的一模一樣。天哪，我們還能相信誰啊？和老公笑了一會兒，接着看網上的血淚控訴，沒看完就睡着了，而且這一夜睡得特別好。
第二天，騙子又來電說eBay要給你寄帳單了，好好查你的郵件啊。我回答：你女兒多大了？你老公怎麼死的？沒一會兒工夫，eBay 的郵件真的來了，要我往paypal付錢。這些看起來非常真實，如果我不知道真相，肯定會拿出信用卡了。仔細看看那個發信人的地址，居然是個真實地址，在網上查了一下，是個多用戶的房子。周圍的治安情況：光昨天一天就好幾起偷車事件。
又看了看網上說受騙者只所以上當受騙，第一點，貪婪。哈哈，太擊中要害了，今後還是要記住，天上要是掉了餡餅，還是躲得遠遠的，別砸了頭。
幾個星期過去了，還好，騙子沒給我送車了。 要是真送個偷來的車，我還真不知道怎麼辦呢。
寫下這個故事，是為了提醒大家，如果遇到這類賣車的，千萬不要上當哦。下面是賣車的給的電郵， 看起來真的很感人哦:

“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.
