Complaint Review: Nadia Lansky Ebay Christina Creighton - San Jose California

I'm so glad I read this. I was also contacting her about the 2003 Cadillac CTS. I wondered why the asking price was only $4000. She gave me a story about going through a divorce and losing her home and thats why she was getting rid of it so cheap. I'm really mad right now. I really thought this was legit ad I'm not far from Hampshire, IL so it would have been perfect. I wasnt asked about wiring money yet, but I'm sure it was coming. I feel bad for anyone thats been ripped off. I hope something can be done. These people have no conscience.

I am currently emailing with a Christina Creighton whom I found on Craig's List advertising a 2003 Cadillac for an unreasonably cheap price and a sad story. I thought it was strange she asked so little for it, and I saw the same pictures in a completely different ad in a completely different location. She says she lives in Hampshire, IL and the car is there. When she emailed me back it sounded pretty fishy, but I played along and told her I was reallllyyy interested, and asked for the vin # to look up a carfax report. It sounds very similar and I am emailing with her now so if there's anyway we could work together to catch this scam artist, let's do it!! Same thing with the brother, 1 free shipping a year, blah blah blah. I'm really glad I googled her/his "name" and found this report before I went any further. If anyone needs my help, let me know.

Chubby, we found a car on craigslist tonight listed by, guess who, Christina. We have communicated to her about this vehicle. If you need our help to get her, let us know. Here's the description she sent us....same as yours. Hi,i see from your email that you are interested in the condition of the 4Runner. so you have to know that the car is 100% working and looking very good,no flaws or dents, no scratches or any kind of damage, no flood or wrecked and it has a clear title,the interior looks great,is brand new condition because I have took care of it like it was my baby (the car is located in Ephraim, Utah ready to be shipped).This is a regretful sale but unfortunately i need money for my son , he is in hospital and i really need money for him.This is why i am selling the car so cheap.BUY IT NOW for $ 4,600 because i want to close a quick and smooth deal with a serious person.About the shipping i can tell you that will be done through DAS and it will take no more than 3 days.The car will be insured at the shipping company for the transport and the shipping cost is free because my brother work's at the shipping company and he has 1 transportation per year for free.If you are still interested please reply me asap. 72,000 miles VIN: JTEBT17R738006454 Thanks

Contact the police, etc. and file reports, especially if you want to consider an income tax dad debt deduction. Talk to your tax person. The 'money by wire gig' is always the first stop sign. The sob stories would be another. Business transactions are no place for sob stories. And most people will never trapse halfway across the country to check out a $4000 car. Human nature, I guess. I was ripped off by an ebay "certified seller" years ago for a small amount. That seller delayed shipment (because of "reasonable" problems) long enough that by the time my purchase had arrived the clock for filing my claim on ebay was run out. Now I only use a credit card for ebay purchases, and if the seller states "no credit cards" or "PayPal accounts only", etc., in their auction I simply skip them. I have had two problems with ebay purchases that I made on ebay with a credit card, and both matters were resolved to my satisfaction within one week. This would NOT apply to a debit card! Good luck with those!
