Hi All,
Just recieved this email today for a camper I have advertised on a few different sites. The first enquiry seemed honest enough but when I replied this is what came back....... It read as follows;
"thanks so much for your response.. firstly i would have loved to call you concerning this transaction but i am an Army Officer and am currently in the BASE right now so its really going to be a bit hard to call you right now but am sure we can run the transaction successfully through here. I am so keen about the transaction and i am not ready for drama's so i hope you are also in for the goody. I am sure you will have received lots of offer but am offering you $23,800 so i hope that beats other offers that you have got. I have an agent that will be coming to Pick It Up after i have completed the Payment. I will love to make the payment through PayPal or straight into your bank account as its secured and preferable, so kindly get back to me with your paypal email or bank details where you will like the funds to be credited and i can get the funds sent asap. So get back to me as soon as you can so we can move on to the next step. you can as
well get back to me with more pictures if you have them. thanks."
It came from a James Curtis email was shown as; loveandtrust@blumail.org
Beware........... Screams SCAM to me.

Had a guy the other day buying a car. Seller advised him to go through broker. Deal was when broker received money they would arrange for vehicle to be delivered on 2 day trial period. If Purchaser did not like car money would be refunded.
Purchaser sent money to broker via money wire service and was told car will be delivered. Couple of days later he gets call from seller stating car engine blew up on way to Purchaser. Seller advised purchaser to contact broker and get his money back.
Guess what seller nor broker exist.
People are so gullible its unbelievable
Cheers
Wayne B
