Is this a scam?

Sound familiar?
"I am selling my _____________ because I'm being shipped out. It has a clear title ready to be signed and notarized on your name. I have the pictures hosted on the net and you can see them at :______________. .....clickandbuy, DAS etc....'


Scam

At his asking price, any dealer would grab it up, instantly.

I work in Charlotte, and I'm willing to put some eyes on it if you need confirmation.

Tell him that I'm that friend and I'm armed.


Could even store it here at my office for a week or two if it really is legitimate.

I do leave town tomorrow for the 4th though.

I see SCAM written all over the place.....Did you ever notice scammers give too much info., they always have all the right facts in order, there seems to be NEVER any problems with the AS and the price is usually some weird number....like $2580.....the 80 is a good clue....something smells >))))@> y.

I was just looking at Craigslist and it has a banner at the top of the cars and trucks section that says:

"Offers to ship cars are 100% fraudulent" and it links to you their tips on avoiding scams.

So yes, it's a scam.

NO Way!!!!! If the unit is not close to you to personally inspect - check for someone who is experienced locally to inspect before you spend any more time

They don't give up because there must be people dumb enough to keep falling for their scam. " If it's too good to believe........."

I did see this same ad word for word concerning a pickup and it was a scam

[StevenG]

tphan, I will accept your most gracious and kind offer, and will go you one better! I will pay in CSA currency (Confederate States of America) because it is antique and of more value than USA currency... contact me to arrange funds and trailer transfer!

[tphan]

Dear Mr. StevenG-
If you are interested in my 1975 27' Airstream Overlander, with no special marks whatsoever, and ready to be notarized on your name, thank you for your kind offer of antique monies. The camper is now located in Las Vegas, Arizona, and the shipping is my responsibility, no other costs to you! All you need supply, to complete this guaranteed transaction by Airstream, is your full name, address of residency, date of being born, Social Security number, Primary Credit Card number, Savings Account number, and what color you would like your new custom Airstream travel bus! Please do not delay with this informations, as I must soon deploy to Afghanistan for my Navy duty. The camper-truck will then be sent to you on UPS, for you to inspect in 5 days. Kind regards, tphan

[memgrove2000]

I have a brother in Las Vegas who is in the Air force and will inspect it For free!! What is the address of its location and time you will be there to see it? He is working nights but could make arrangements!

[tphan]

Dear Mr Memgrove2000-
Thankyou for kind offer to inspect this 1975 Airstream for Mr. StevenG. I assure you it, it is perfect, with no special markings or damagement! I forgot, it is located in a special Ebay warehouse in Minot, South Dakota, where it is now crated for free delivery anywhere in the world! I hope to meet your brother, as I am currently deployed also in the Air Force of America.
Kind regards- tphan, special payment agent for Glen Perkins

I have seen an almost identical ad on Craigs list. SCAM Run dont walk!

[nypatnva]

I got the same/similar offer on a item I was selling on Craigslist. I could not hit delete fast enough. It's probably a scam.
