I was trying to sell a vehicle on line and got a txt from this guy saying he wanted to by it for his cousin without seeing it. He said he would have a mover come pick it up. This is a new York number. I live in OK. Why would someone want a 250 ninja from down here. Weird. Also wanted PayPal info to do payments. Ya right. He said he was a petroleum engineer. Please beware. This is most certainly a scam.
I received text messages only from this # wanting to buy my vehicle, and the same thing they were buying it for a cousin as a surprise. When I asked for a name they advised "Mary Cornell", and when I advised them that I just tried calling the # it said they were unavailible to speak with me. I asked where they were from and they stated Washington DC, but in a different text they stated Alabama. When asked why they didn't answer the phone, she claimed that she was a deaf woman, and could only communicate through text, or email. I advised them that they would have to excuse me but I would only talk to someone about the transaction, and that I am a Police Officer here in Florida and I deal with this kind of BS every day. She them advised that she would have her husban Scott call me right away, and that was the last text that I received and that was at 11 am.
