I got a text this is what it looked like
the number that showed 1-(010)100-002
message from felixharran0761@yahoo.com
Sub: Vehicle Enquiry
MSG: HELLO
is this vehicle still available for sale, if it is contactme ia this email with your email. - freewebtext.com(END)
I had a feeling it was a scam but i still replied, funny thing is I got the same text from few other people the only thing looked different was the email and the last 3 diggit they went up 003, 004 etc. This person emailed me few times asking good questions about the vehicle and negotiating price, for a sec I thought it might be legit, but I get this email:
Subject: payment arrangement/pickup info
Greetings.....
Thanks for your response,after evaluation of the vehicle and due to time constraint,I am happy to inform you that I have concluded arrangements with my client and he was very happy with the condition of your car and he has issued a cashier check of ($18,300) which now covers the whole expenses of the purchase of your vehicle, tax, pickup of the vehicle from its location and shipping charges or any shipping arrangements together with the money that will come to me as interest for my effort, he also told me that he will proceeding for his annual leave and will like this transaction to be over before he will go on leave, so When you receive check payment, you are expected to deduct the cost of your vehicle which is ($11,800) and send the remaining balance of ($6,500) to the agent (shipper) for h im to be able to offset s hipping & tax charges. After payment has reached you and balance sent to shipper, the shipper's agent will come for inspection, pick up
(of vehicle & signing of title papers) and drive to a prepaid shipper to be shipped to my (client) and also conclude other necessary shipping arrangements. So you don't have to bother yourself about the pick up and shipping arrangements.
Please confirm the above and provide your payment information for your payment to be delivered to you via courier service.
Please provide the following:
1-LEGAL NAME IN FULL..............
2. CONTACT ADDRESS.....................
3. PHONE NUMBER(S)...........................
I will be expecting your mail with full payment information so that we can proceed. Thanks And God Bless,
