    It's sad people still fall for one of the oldest scams in the book. Folks get suckered everyday on these scams.

    A lot of times they will put the money in an account an say you need to pay for the movers which is 200 or more depending on the item. Then they require you to put in a certain amount for said movers then when the movers come they will give he cash back because the scammer can't pay them because they can only use PayPal at the moment. So then they get the cash you are suppose pay the movers.

    Or they open a brand new checking account with 25 bucks in it and request checks that start at like in the higher number issued so it looks like they write a lot of checks. They write you a check from the account with only 25 bucks in it for your high value item they leave with and you are left with shit paper.

    It happens. I got pissed and tricked the dumb asses into giving me their home addresses in Tennessee and had PayPal file fraud charges against them. They kept saying they were in the Middle East with military. So kept saying I couldn't use a apo address so the dumbasses gave me their home address.

    Well they could have had an exhaust system installed......
    I had an exhaust shop do a magnaflow for me, I kept the stock exit look and added a chrome tip, they could have made it a straight instead......

    Not saying this isn't a scammer because it seriously has scam written all over it, but whoever actually owns the truck could of had an exhaust done at a shop with a straight instead of the 90.

    Confirmed power memory seats & full time AWD FTMFW! I found an expired Fleabay listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/301964152019 legit price, user has legit history & feedback... reason for sale says "disabled vet" which is fishy...

    The trans is automatic, and has also memory seats and is awd...you will see when will arrive at you. I'm not sure if you're familiar with eBay or its Purchase Protection program. I have described you how it work's in a 6 easy steps, see below:
    1. Buyer, seller reach an agreement (price and delivery conditions)
    2. Buyer sends money to eBay.
    3. eBay confirms to seller that the amount has been received.
    4. Seller performs the required services (shipping, insurance).
    5. Buyer accepts delivery and informs eBay about the acceptance.
    6. eBay releases the money to seller.

    As you can see, you will receive the car BEFORE any money is released to me. You will get the chance to inspect it and everything you like while your money is still safely held in eBay's account. ONLY after you confirm to eBay that you agree with the car, they will release the money to me. If, for some reason, you disagree with the car (I assure you that is NOT going to happen since my car is in IMMACULATE condition inside and out) it will be shipped back to me on MY EXPENSE and eBay will send you your money back.
    If you wish to proceed further, I will need your complete name and address so I can start the transaction with eBay Purchase Protection program. Let me know if we can get the ball rolling.

    Hello Kathy,
    This sounds too good to be true, I saw this exact truck on Ebay in Florida for $38,000, the old listing is here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/301964152019. It even has the same accessories as the one you're selling! In order to put my full trust in our transaction I need a sign of good faith that shows me you are who you say you are. Can you send me a picture of today's newspaper on the seat of the truck? I've had trouble with Ebay before, can we do this sale with a money order or money wire?
    With sincerest regards,
    Jason
