Hi again,

As I told you in my first email, my medical team will deploy back to Afghanistan. Right now I’m in a military base in Hill Air Force Base, Utah. I am only allowed to check my email. We have to stick to email for now. I advertised it on other states also to get more exposure and sell it faster. The car is here with me at the base and the delivery process will be managed by me, ready to be delivered to its future new owner. The deal is handled by eBay so I don’t have much to do about it. I think I can have it there at your home address in 2-3 days. The shipping is free. You will get a 5 days testing period after delivery and if you don’t like it, you can send it back at my expense. During that 5 days testing period I will not be getting any money. I need to know if you are interested so I can ask eBay to send you the details on this deal. If interested just email with your full name, full address where you want the vehicle delivered at and your cell# where you can be reached so we can get the ball rolling.

….i received this email from person I thought I was going to be purchasing a car from off site letgo threw eBay….i saw on site vehicle n owner r listed 1hr10min from me in Columbia then when asked to meet to see vehicle n drive it and as long as all checked out w it I would be purchasing it …thats when I received that email . I have NEVER DEALT w any kind of online app before for a vehicle n I have really only purchased once from ebay…so could someone please PLEASE tell me what thoughts r on this email?! I’m asking bc the car listed that I wanted to get from person would be a COMPLETE AND TOTAL STEAL IF IT ISN’T ANY KIND OF SCAM. Person said husband died 3months ago absolutely nothing wrong and perfect looking and running vehicle w on 90,000 miles on it n they said there leaving to deploy in military for over a year so it’s got to go this week . Need help I begging what r thought a on this
