Them: "Volkswagen for sale?"
Me: "yes it is."
Them: "Great! Kindly Email my Dad Hanks at: he's the one interested, Thank you,"
Me: "Will do, thanks"
Them: "Okay, my dad will get back to you shortly as well"
I proceeded to email the person. The reply from [email protected] was:
"Hello, thank you for your email and I would like to introduce myself with a little background.
First of all. My name is Hanks Gilbert. I am currently serving in the U.S. Air Force as an SMSgt (E-8) and I am presently not in town at the moment because I am currently on base and we aren't allowed to make or receive calls frequently as phone communications are being restricted, but we do have internet access and that is our major means of communication to the outside world. So let’s get back to business!
Well, I'm purchasing it for my brother as his birthday gift, but he isn't aware of me doing this because I am making it as a surprise for him. So can you assure me I won't be disappointed buying it from you? Also, I do have a few questions I would love to ask about it.
Are you the original owner and why are you selling it?
Does it have any mechanical issues?
How many miles does it has?
What's the condition, Any damages?
Can you send me more pictures?
Do you have the title in hand?
Is there a lien on the title?
Do you have a verified account with PayPal?
Do you have any offer's yet?
Looking forward to hearing back from you soon."
From here I was suspicious and started to research. I found someone else report the same email, verbatim.
