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? http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1337018794.jpg

Sounds like every scam I have heard about.

Yes. Ignore. Classic scam.

Yes, pure scam

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

Thanks, fellas...

My Power of Attorney is pissed.

Nice suburban--what are you asking?

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

Tell him it doesn't float, he'll have to buy a boat.

Asking $5900

Really? Your Craigslist ad says $5700

Hahaha

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.
