That "elizabeth" looking for more pics contacted me, too. She was using the email address [[email protected]], but it redirected to [[email protected]]. Thanks so much for putting me on to her!

Is this a scam?
So sorry i won't make it down to your place as said, i'm reporting back to Camp immediately, due the sickness of the officer in Charge. I'm in
the military and currently heading to Army Garrison Camp Williams popularly known as Camp Williams in Utah, so therefore i won't be able to come
around for inspection or test driving.

I'm buying the vehicle as a gift for my son. I went through your ad and would love to buy the vehicle but meanwhile i'd love to know any
addition info regards the vehicle. Since i'm buying it as i gift i'll love to know every bit of info regards the vehicle and reply with your
firm price so as to initiate the payment process.

Respond with the vehicle's present condition and your firm price if you still have it for sale and i'll respond as soon as i can. This is my number (801) 980-6513.
You could respond via text if you like but Email works best for me since it's mostly busy here.

Email or text only!! Thanks for understanding and your business.

---I replied to his email with the details of my auto sale. Then i received this email after going back and forth several times...


Thanks that works for me, since i'm not local and due to many unreliable ways of making payments online, i've decided to use PayPal Payment protection Scheme which protections both the buyer and seller and assures smooth transaction,Kindly get back to me with your paypal email address for payment asap and if you dont have one kindly create it at www.paypal. com, it's easy fast and reliable and pickup would be done by a moving company as soon as payment clears.


So do you guys think this is a scam?

Hello sierram ,
Yes, it is a scam. This person is not in the military nor is he interested in the vehicle because he is just trying to steal money from you.
Just ignore all future communications from this thief and do even bother telling him that you know it is a scam.

Meet you buyer in person at a safe location.

Thank you very much!
