I received the same email while trying to sell furniture on Craigslist; stationed at Lackland AFB in San Antonio and is not able to make phone calls(???), use Paypal, etc.
Like everyone else, I'm so glad I decided to do some checking first before I continued to email him (Bill Pally - if that's his real name?).
I received an email regarding my antique bedroom set from a "bill pally" also claiming to be in the military and not able to call and recommending PayPal. My first clue that it was fake is his poor English and the fact that the email was sent at 3am if he wa actually in the time zone he claims to be in
I received the same information in a text about an item I was selling on CL. Sounded odd from the start, so I was very tight with info and decided to to a quick internet search for Lackland AFB and SDI 8T000 and found this link...
