I got the same ad, too. What a rip. Here's the latest I got from "Juliet":

Am okay with the price and i need little favor from you? the favor is that I have not pay the Tow Driver that will bring the Vehicles to your shop and I can't do that my self bcos I am presently receiving my hearing treatment at the hospital and am going to have surgery soon,
****
i will like you to do me a favor due to my physical disability... the Tow driver don't have access to credit card facilities as for now so I will like you to run my card to charge for $2,500 and you keep $1000 as deposit...
*****
and $100 for your tip for the errand have the remaining send the Tow agent as they receive payment upfront via Money Gram, OR Deposit to their Bank Account so they can have the vehicle Drive down to your shop and wait for pickup.
Thanks
Juliet

LOL I got the exact same one. They must be crazy to try this.

It happens on Care.com also, where I made a profile. Stuff sounded fishy, but the style is the same. It goes along these lines.
I'm far away and plan to move there.
I have a ton of money, and will need some supplies/service.
I'll send you a check for your pay, plus extra.
Deposit the check, and send me the remaining for the supplies/service.

Along those lines.
You go to the bank, you have 2000 dollars of your own money in the account.
You cash the check for 1500 dollars, you now have 3500 dollars, you send him 1000.
Your account now has 2500 dollars.
The check bounces a few days later for 1500 dollars.
Your account now has 1000 dollars.
You just got ripped on for 1000 dollars.

i've gotten these on more then 1 occasion and the best thing i can think of is to just leave them be. You can normally spot if they are a scam by their English and how they refer to certain things. Just write back scam and watch them disappear LoL

I have also been getting these. Just ignore them.
