MSgt. McCall,
No disrespect but, knowing the KBB on this vehicle, why are you selling it so low with delivery included?

Hi,

I will have the car shipped from Alaska by an US Air Force cargo plane so there won't be any additional shipping costs. Also I will arrange for a truck to transport the car to your home address or, if you like, you can pick it up from the nearest airport in your area. The shipping will take 3-5 days, depending on your location.Shipping will be door to door,to your home address,somebody must be home when the car arrives to sign for the reception.The car will arrive with all the papers and documents required for registration and the keys. The clear title and the bill of sale will be already signed by me.

The payment will be done through eBay.You will send the money to eBay and as soon as the payment is confirmed they will notify me to proceed with the shipping. I will ship the car, you will receive it and you will have 5 days for inspection, both the car and the paperwork and the option to accept or reject the car.The inspection time period will begin as soon as you sign for receiving the car at your requested address.During all this time eBay will hold the money into a trust account.So, this is not a blind transaction,you can see the car before decided to buy it.If you are satisfied with the car and decide to keep it you inform eBay about this and they will release the money to me. If the car is not as advertised and decide not to keep it eBay will refund you the money, no questions asked, and shipping back the car will be my concern. I think this is more than fair for the both of us.Please take into consideration that I will get paid only after you receive the car and make sure everything is as agreed.

If you agree with these terms and you have the money, send me your full name and the address where you want the car to be delivered to and I will initiate the transaction with eBay. You will receive all the transaction details from them.I will appreciate an answer as soon as possible.

Thank you!

I don't have access to a phone now.We can talk further via email because it's the only form of communication as fast as the phone.
The payment will be made through eBay. I'm under Contract with eBay which states that we can close the deal using their service.Very Important, Only after you will receive the car, eBay will release the money to me.

The money needs to be sent per ebay's instructions, you will then give payment details to ebay only. After they verify funds, I will be notified to proceed with the shipping instructions. Upon the delivery and verification of the correct vehicle, you will notify ebay of a sucessfull transaction, so they can release the funds to me.If the car is not as advertised and decide not to keep it eBay will refund you the money, no questions asked,and shipping back the car will be my concern.

In order to start the deal I need YOUR FULL NAME,PHONE# (home and cell) and SHIPPING ADDRESS so I can register the transaction with eBay. They will let you know what you have to do for the payment.

The al-cia-da are out of money, the only things these twerpts really want is the identity theft. Notice both cons first only wanted name and address, with that no telling what they would do. PLEASE peole you have to wake up, realize that 911 and all that you believed in was a con just like these simple minded goofballs. They are trying so hard to con you out of your identity. If you know that this is happening you will be the only ones that can stop it because the police, FBI and the like are not going to do anything to stop it except help you get it taken down from the internet.

It actually PAYS to be a petty criminal.

Good for you OP. You probably at least scared the shit out of this asshole.

This guy was trying to sell me the same '03 Land ROver off of craigslist yesterday. Seemed like a steal until i thought about it and read this.i just emailed him asking for proof of identity and residency.looks like i probably wont get another email.

interesting.
I have someone wanting to buy an item I posted on Craigslist. They are offering almost twice for it, but I need to ship it to another state. They want to pay with Paypal. How would you know if it's legid?

SAME thing sent to us!! He says the payment will be made through ebay motors - but then you're actually paying through Western Union!

DON'T DO IT!!! WE NEED TO GET THIS GUY!!!
