Seems Rebecca and son are still floating their story and scam. Played along for a while but the more back and forth emails made us more uncomfortable. Then when Rebecca insisted on PayPal and gave the story of being off shore and no access to back account or phone but was communicating via an iPad the alarms started to go off. If you have access to the Internet and an iPad you have access to Skype and other apps for web conferencing and VoIP phones. Thanks to everyone who has posted here because a quick search on her name saved me alot a pain and money. We need to be just as smart or smarter than the scammers and use the power of the web against them.
Yep, I got this text this morning at 2am. I knew it was a scam but I also would like to mess with them! Fortunately, I actually do work for the federal government so I texted back explaining that they have now been 'officially' reported.
Not sure if it will actually get taken care of in a timely manner, but it WILL be looked into. Let's just hope that the texts aren't from a stolen phone 'cause we can't do anything about that type of thing.

Still an active scam, like drew said the name is Rebecca Dagg. Same phone number
I got the text from this number, giving me the beccydag @ g mail address.
Here's the response:
Thanks for the prompt reply,My name is Rebecca Dagg, i believe my son Donald sent you a text message to email me for the sale,I would like to know the lowest price,more pictures and its
present condition because i cant come over to inspect it,i am buying it locally here in Canada for my son studying/working abroad (Malaysia).
I am work at sea as i am a marine biologist (i work on the St-Lawrence river in Quebec. my office: Pilotes du Bas-St-Laurent] and due to the nature of my work, phone calls is
restricted, i can only use my ipad to partially communicate.I am really sure he will be more than happy if i am able to purchase it from you because this is what he want and chose from
the Advert.You need not worry yourself about how it will get to him there in Malaysia as i have a contact of shipping company there that will be handling the pick up and all the paper work.
Regards
You want to ship my truck to Malaysia ? Go to Hell..
