We received two letters that sound identical to yours several years ago about an auto for sale. Same letter from same place but two different soldiers’ names. Sloppy scammer!

I once sold a Chrysler Gem to a guy in the panhandle who was working as a manager in Las Vegas at a hotel. I checked his employment there and they even paged him to speak to me. I would not take a money transfer or a certified check and he couldn't give me cash as he was not picking it up.
I spoke with Chase where I bank and found out they have a special account they receive money in for situations just like this one and then Chase transfers to my account. So I gave this guy that routing number and he sent the money - after I received it in my account from Chase and I verified that transaction he was able to send a transport to pick it up. |

“Ineligible items and transactions

I have bought and sold at least 50 things on Craigslist including cars (bought and sold). Virtually EVERY attempt to sell something brought scammers. It's just part of the territory. Expect it. Take cash only, and if you have any doubts about the buyer, meet at a neutral and populated area. Obviously, that does not work with a sofa, but something like that is not usually a scammer's target.

I've gotten the same story many
times. I hope it was long ago the other guy sold his bike. They can still come back & steal your money & have the bike. Like listed here by someone. |

Some people must have lived under a rock for decades to think we need to be cautioned about scams

So funny.
He can get on the internet and look at classified ads, but he's not allowed to use his phone. |
