haha this is crazy. Seen this exact same ad for the past week. Sent them an email and received the exact same email that was posted on the last page. Then they also went into about using Google checkout and what not. Sucks that this is a scam, been looking for a cherokee for the past month and havent found anything really ...But ya, I believe its a total scam now. Just found it funny that I have been researching on this ad, even talking to some of my buddies and seeing what they thought, and when I saw the title "something is funny here" I just had a feeling it was this. Damn scammers!!!

These guys are not from the U.S. They are fun to mess with but thats about it. I sent one guy a message telling him what a piece of $h1t he was for doing this and he said "What else are we supposed to do. We have no jobs and you stupid Americans fall for anything." He followed with few other choice words. I replied with how much I would like to turn his country into a parking lot and it just ended at that. You cant do anything about it, and there is very little you can do to scare them. This scam is obviously one that is working because most of us recognize it around here.

ok got another email from them, after i said my "Cousin" lives right next to them, and could check it out



Hi again,
As I've told you, at this moment I am in IN state in a military base, getting ready for Afghanistan (I hope for the last time). I`m doing a special training program each day and I am not allowed to get out of the unit or give calls whenever I want. The shipping will take 3 to 5 days depending on your location and it’s not a problem because I can do it at no cost for you. I want to mention that the vehicle was inspected by Google Checkout and fulfills the CO2 Emission standards from all the 50 states so it wouldn't be a problem for you to register it in your state. You will receive the car along with all the documents including title, bill of sale, 2 set of keys, full service records and more. Because it is a large transaction, we will complete the deal only using an authorized third part like Google Checkout coz I already prearranged the whole process with them, using their Google Safe Pay Solutions for vehicles not listed on their website. The car is located in their warehouse in IN (ready for delivery). In this case, I will offer a 5-day period to inspect the car from the moment you`ll receive it, before I'll have your money. I think this is more than fair for both of us. The payment will be handled by Google Checkout, and you will benefit of 5 days inspection time period (test drive) and the option to accept or reject the car on my expense. If you are still interested just send me your full name and shipping address. I will forward your info and the official transaction will be started and you will be contacted by Google Checkout agents.
Regards!!

Ask to have the transportation company's phone number and contact information so that you may have your cousin inspect the vehicle before purchase since he lives so close.

i bet he would not have alot to come back to on that
