Re: Advice about selling a car, recieving payment ...

I smell a scam. I posted my car online and within minutes received the email below. It is the same as many scammer emails in this thread ... Seller Beware!   I appreciate your email,       Firstly, I would like to introduce myself to be in the military. My name is Travis <removed>, but I go by my last name. I serve in the USAF. I am a MSGT, am positioned in the disarming bomb section. We are not allowed to make or receive calls frequently as phones communication are restricted but we do have internet access and that is our major means of communication to the outside world. I have been protecting and defending my country and I don't think I can stop doing that. I am proud of America.  FYI, I'm purchasing this for my brother as a special birthday gift and he's  not aware of me doing this because am making it a surprise. I've got a few questions for this below.   What's its current condition? Does it have any damages? Are you the first owner?   Does it have any mechanical issues? Would love to know the reason why selling it? Do you have the title in hand? Can you send me more pictures of it? Do you have an account with PayPal? Do you have any offer's yet? I have a carrier agent who will come for the pickup once payment is completely confirmed. Looking forward to hearing from you and I hope you can respond and answer my questions appropriately in your next e-mail ... View more
