Anyone think it's legit? Anyone think it's not?
BTW, the photo gallery is at flickr and uses the person's name on the email as it's name.
Not legit. Scamo-matic in overdrive.
This not scam. My oil minister M’tumbo and I use often this method for the buying of fine American pickup trucks. We even have departments for to aid you in this financial transaction. Only send by email your bank account numbers, PIN, and social Security informations and in a hurry you get nice new pickup truck okay?
Total scam.
They used to use more expensive vehicles like BMW/Mercedes as prices you couldn’t pass up.
All you need to do for these things is google specific parts of the scam.
You’ll find the text is used repeatedly elsewhere with different vehicles and locations.
I got very similar replies when I was looking for a dog a few months ago. The owners were being transferred out of town or overseas and had to find a home for an otherwise expensive dog. One of them claimed to already be in England and if I would send the cost of shipping they would have the dog on a flight right away. the thing was an obvious scam but it must be profitable because I found the same ads in several listings.
“The price for the truck is $2,800.”

Another red flag. I don’t know why, but these scammers almost always advertize for $2,800.00.
I like to scan Craigslist and whenever I see a car or truck for sale with no local phone # and a gmail address - I hit the scam report key.
