Just had this exact same thing happen. Wouldn't call, only text email and would only use paypal. Said he would use his hauler agent to come pick it up. Used the name James Miller. Very poor grammar.
I received a text from a different phone number, but same story, SDI 8T000 at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, using the name Wesley Adams. I'm trying to rehome a dog in Arizona. He asks the same questions as mentioned and keeps asking my "final price". 770-400-0338, text only, no calls, atrocious English. There are no dogs in Arizona so you are shopping in Arizona?
I wish we would have seen this sooner, we got scammed for 611.50 earlier today. Have reported to Paypal and Moneygram. Used the name James Miller. He was "buying" a jeep from us.
Buying or selling a vehicle of any kind on Graig's list is always dangerous. Best transaction is via all cash on a face to face basis. Or a bank check drawn on your own bank. Always demand face to face meeting for the exchange. Always make sure there are a lot of witnesses around. Always going to be some risk. Never use paypal in any transaction on Craig's List.
