Scammers are everywhere! Be ever so cautious.
DH posted an ad to sell his Harley. Received a text, "willing to pay full price for your bike. I am in the Army and deployed to Fort Huachuca in AZ. I may not be able to see the motorcycle personally, are you sure it is in mint condition? I can't speak w you bc phone calls are currently restricted. I can send funds via PayPal, do you have a PayPal account? I will have a mover pick up bike after funds clear your account, he will handle title for me." Our alarms were sounding loudly, so many things wrong with his offer. I asked, "what is your rank? What unit are you assigned to? Who is your commanding officer? I have a grandson serving in the Army who said the offer could be legit and if it is they'll be no problem providing us w the requested info. We then could call the base to ensure it was legit. We never received a response from the would be buyer.
Can you point out all the wrongs with the buyer's story?
