same thing listed ad in local paper that goes to cars.com and immediately at 200am got a text message from number 765-251-8793 saying would buy car sight unseen. ignored it and got another the next night same thing. - too good to be true so I sent a message saying not trusting pick up the phone and call then sent me an email to send message too. I did and this is what I got back. Person should be ashamed to be saying they are a member of the service. Cars.com should follow up on this person. SCAM SCAM SCAM
I got your response. Well, 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 buy it for the asking price.I am Tech Sgt Erika Lindquist currently on duty serving the country. Presently I am out of town on duty in a remote area until November 10. We have a bad and fluctuating network here otherwise I would have called you and seal the deal on phone. At the moment, email and text messages works best for me.Nevertheless,I am ready to seal the deal right away and pay you via my PayPal account that is attached to my bank account as it is the only secure form of payment that I have access to right now. So,kindly get back to me with your FULL NAME AND PAYPAL EMAIL ADDRESS so that I can initiate the payment immediately.If you don't have a paypal account, it is absolutely free to set one up, kindly visit www.paypal.com. A shipper will be hired that will come for the pick up upon the completion of the payment aspect of the transaction.Let me have the requested details to proceed with the payment if we have a deal. TY
Placed ad on Cars.com and rec'd text from this number at 3:30 a.m. indicating would buy vehicle, have someone pick it up, and if accept PayPal. Deleted
I also received a message saying he was interested in buying my car sight unseen and pay through paypal. I googled the number just in case and am so glad that I did. Thank God for the internet!!
