I received a text from Tony suppose to be a shipper for number 916-304-3371, Keith. Fortunately with your reporting I did not get scammed. I was selling a motorcycle
Same thing here. Edward from Lanley Air Force Base in VA sent me a text asking if I have received any offers on my bike. Asked what my best price was. I said make me an offer. He never replied with a price (likely didn't even know what I was asking for it) and then immediately started in about being deployed, he'll buy it sight unseen, he'll pay for shipping the bike, but needs to make arrangement, etc.
Same thing happened to me! Claims they are the shipping rep for Kelvin Peter and his name is Michael Rapuano. Kelvin and Lisa used telephone number 323-515-2418 to first contact me to buy my car (again site-unseen). Beware!
