I am currently deployed wont be back till March. Thanks for your response, I am sorry I am not available to view due to the nature of my job, I am in the United States Army and serve as a CBRN Specialist (74D). I got a scam email tonight from carlosthomas959 Everything was pretty much word for word with the rest of the above comments I almost bought into it but was a bit suspicious on the rush for such a large transaction which made me do some research only to find out that it is very likely a scam. Also that it was the only way they would conduct a transaction. I never even heard of PayPal but Both insisted I get an account with PayPal and assured me that it was safe and secure. Both wanted to buy the item right then and there without seeing the vehicle and would arrange for pick up once the money was in my account. That they are very interested and serious about purchasing my listed item but one is in the military and doesn't have access to his/her online bank account but can purchase threw PayPal as its tied to their account. Stating all the same things as everyone else has posted on here.
Yesterday I posted a tractor for sale on Craig's list for a substantial amount of money and within the first hour I received several hits from 6 & 5. And contact PayPal at if you’ve been stung by a PayPal spoof.

Learn how to recognize and avoid common online scams. Also file a complaint with the FTC and your local police department.

Scenario Three: The buyer sends you real money through a real PayPal account, and you ship him the car. Also, if the buyer claims to have sent extra money, and asks for some back, that’s a big red flag. The safest approach is to open a browser window, navigate to, and log in yourself. Never follow links in emails from people you don’t know. Make sure you’ve been paid before you ship. What should you do? Log into your PayPal account. It’s all a lie, including the extra money the buyer says he included. He asks you to return the extra money via a money wiring service. Scenario Two: “Check your email!” The buyer claims he has sent payment to your PayPal account with additional funds so you can ship the merchandise ASAP, but oops, he sent too much money. If you need to set up an account, go directly to. Any information you enter will be collected by the bogus buyer, and may be used to commit fraud. The link will send you to a website masquerading as PayPal. He’ll send you an email with a link so you can set one up. Don’t have a PayPal account? No problem, he says. Scenario One: The buyer claims he can only pay via PayPal. Here are some suspicious situations to look for and steps to safe selling online: What’s really going on?

In no time at all, you get an email from a buyer willing to pay full price - or more! But he sets conditions he is only willing to pay by PayPal or insists the sale must happen right away.
The scam generally goes like this: You post a high-value item, like a used car, for sale online. At the FTC, we’ve heard from people stung by scammers spoofing PayPal. So have scams taking advantage of the good names of reputable online companies. Selling your used stuff online has become commonplace.
