Selling the Suburban:Got a text
Finally getting around to selling the suburban. Got a text from a "marine engineer" asking questions. I responded that they should call. I have a mil spec flip phone, it sucks when it comes to texting. Said they couldn't call he's offshore. Ask a couple of detailed questions. then ask if a moving company could pick it up? I said yea after he paid me, but asked how he was going to sign bill of sale. Said moving company has power of attorney. This is a scam right?

they will probably pay you with a check thats over the amount you want,
thus you would return the extra cash to buyer, he doesnt really want your truck rather the extra cash

As long as the moving company hands you a wad of cash when they pick it up....

It's a scam.
Just sold a 2009 Ford Edge last week. Got ONE legitimate call. The rest were email flake-a-zoids or nigerian-scam-text artists. Off-shore drilling, people in the military on boats, people who want to send Western Union for the extra amount... etc., etc. angela
