Greg Morris and Lisa Streety "2002 Lexus ES300 Navigation (Tri-City)" advertisement in Craigslist Dothan Alabama
Chronological description of a fraudulent activity by Lisa Streety and Greg Morris;
I was looking for a used car for me as a second car. I checked website where cars were advertised, such as crrs.com, Ebay Motors, Craigslist, and local news papers. While going through the ad I found 2002 Lexus ES300 listed for sale for $5999 in Tri-city ( ie. in WA). Knowing Lexus is a reliable car I responded to the ad via craigslist as there was no phone number. In response, after a few days, I was asked to give my e-mail address on May 6, 2013.
On May 7, Lisa Streety responded (email address: [email protected]) saying the car is good shape with no accidents and has a clear title. She also mentioned that the car belonged to her son. But her son died in a cycle accident. The car reminded her of her lost son and she wanted to get rid of it.
On May 7, I replied that I would like to see the car thinking that the car is in Tri-City where I live. Lisa replied that the car is in Dothan Al. She advertised at several cities to find a buyer. The car has EBAY buyer protection plan. She asked me for my address and phone number so that she could register me with EBAY buyer protection plan. I emailed her my address and phone number.
On May 8, Lisa replied that she will ship the car to me at no cost to me in 3-4 days. She also wrote that EBAY will contact me and provide details. After I receive the car I will have 10 days to check it out. If not satisfied I should inform her and she will take the car back.
On May 8, EBAY sent me an invoice for $5500 and instructed me to go to Western Union with cash to send it to Greg Morris, 103 Springwater Way, Dothan AL 36305.On May 9th I replied asking EBAY if there is another way such as Pay-Pal or Bank to Bank transfer to send the money. I did not receive any response to my e-mail. I went to Western Union agent in Safe Way Store near my house to check the procedure to send the money. They asked government ID such as Social security card. I did not have social security card with me. So I went home.
On May 10, I went back to western Union with an Id. They asked me another ID and started checking several things. Finally they agreed to send $2600 plus $151 fees for sending the money. On May 11, I e-mailed Lisa that It is a big hassle to send money through Western Union. I did not want to go through again to send the rest of the invoice. I wrote to stop the process and refund my $2751 which I sent to Greg Morris. She called me on phone and suggested that I ask someone else to send the money on my behalf which I refused. Then she said ok. I asked the money which she said to contact Ebay.
Since then I have been sending e-mails to EBAY with cc to Lisa Streety. There is no response from neither of them. I called 334-715-0183, the phone number Lisa used to call me. No one picked up the phone. I left a repeated message to send my money back to me. That is where it stands.
On May 11, I suspected that this is probably a scam to cheat people to get money by promising something. I was surprised Lisa Street along with Greg Morris, who acted as a legitimate agent, used the good name of Ebay Motors to conduct fraudulent activity. I request you to help me get back my hard earned money and stop this kind of activity. Thank you.

When you clicked on the cars+trucks link on craigslist you were presented with a page of scam alerts. Why did you ignore those scam alerts? They clearly stated:
Offers to ship a vehicle are virtually 100% fraudulent
eBay has no involvment in craigslist for sale ads
Payment by Western Union or a money wire is requested - only a scammer will ask for this, and any funds sent will be lost
Do not buy vehicles sight-unseen, regardless of low price. The vehicle does not exist, and any money you send will be lost.
