I experienced the same thing this morning from phone number 714-592-7253. I received the following message; "A potential buyer is intersted in the (my car) you have listed for sale. Please reply to the buyer directly with information in a timely manner AT
[email protected]" Obviously a scam. The initial response to me was: I am very glad to read from you directly. My name is Michael, an oceanographer from BP Exploration & Production.
It's my pleasure to contact you in regards to your Ad you posted for sale. Though, your selling price seem pretty fair enough, but I'd like to ensure it's in good condition, cos am new to buying online. I won't be able to take a proper inspection at it myself nor make calls due to my current location(offshore) & work schedule.
