Hi, Is your vehicle still available for sale? Text I got at 4:07 am.
Yes it is. It's in hartford sd. Where are you located at? Text I replied.
clean title?? Text they replied right away
I'm truck driver currently in Kentucky, I would like to know the present condition, what's the mileage? Are you the first owner of the vehicle? Do you have
text right after the above one.
Clean title. Where did you see it listed? My last text. Then I Googled the number and seen this all. I've got in the ad all info on the truck. Think I may do some playing with them!
I listed my car on cars.com last night and I got a text message from this number asking if I have Paypal account. Also it states that his (her) mover agent will be coming to inspect the vehicle after the payment has been done. I emailed back and got no response so far. It look like a scam...
I am not sure... The same person sent another message asking my full name and my Paypal account name. I've heard about fake Paypal deposits but I don't know how it works.
Please read the two messages I received about my car and payment thru Paypal:
- Message 1
Thanks for getting back to me. Anyway, I have read through your ad. and from what I have seen,it is priced favorably compared to others so I want you to consider it sold to me because I am ready to offer you the demanded price. I am Tech Sgt Vincent Greg (Air Force) currently on duty serving the country. Presently,I am deployed in a remote area until January 20, 2015. Network here is bad otherwise I would have called you and seal the deal on phone. At the moment, email and text messages work best for me.
Notwithstanding, I hope we can make the purchase as fast as possible as I am ready to seal the deal right away and pay you via my PayPal account that is attached to my bank account as that is the only secure form of payment that I have access to right now. So,I'll need your FULL NAME AND PAYPAL EMAIL ADDRESS so as to initiate the payment immediately. If you don't have a Paypal account, it is absolutely free and easy to set one up. Do visit www.paypal.com and set up your account. After we are done with the payment aspect and you have received your cash, a shipper will be hired that will come over to your place for the pick up. If this is a deal, then let me have the requested Paypal details to proceed with the payment.
Sincerely,
Vincent.

Definitely it is a scam! I am not dealing with them. I don't understand how it works but it is a scam! Should I report them to the FBI? These individuals present themselves Air Force and Military officials, but they are scammers.
