Here's where he first asks for money, has stink written all over it.

Hello again,

Thank you for getting back to me. The car is already at our Military Logistic Department in U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, Havelock, NC stored in a military compound ready to go. I am making final preparations before deploying to London, UK. The Logistic Department will deliver the vehicle to your home, so there is no charge for this delivery. Shipping will take 4-5 days to the destination. All documents you need for ownership, manuals and bill of sale will be provided along with the car.

For the payment I would like to use Amazon Payments (payment will be via bank wire transfer). They will keep your money until you receive and inspect the car. So, this is not a blind transaction, you can see the car before committing to buy and to eliminate any concerns you will have 15 days to inspect it. If you decide not to keep it Amazon Payments will refund you the money, no questions asked, and shipping back will be my concern. But I assure you won't be the case. I think this is more than fair for both of us.

Now, if you are serious about this and want to move forward, just mail me back with:
- Your full name - Required by Amazon Payments.
- Your shipping address and phone number - Required by the Logistic Department (They will call you with delivery/pickup instructions 1 day ahead so you can communicate what time schedule work best for your to receive the car).

Sorry for the long email I have tried to explain the entire process. I would also like to inform you that I'm entertaining two other offers at this moment, so please let me know your decision as soon as possible.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Sgt. Carmella Mear

Not so fast buddy..

I found your listing on a Cleveland Car Dealer listing. Can you explain the connection between you and the dealership?

The photo album is very nice. The car looks great, just what I'm looing for. However, that could be anyone's photo album. Could you take a selfie of yourself with the car and email it to me. Also can you send the VIN number so I can check the Car Fax on the car?

I have cash waiting to go. I really like your car, but there are cars out there too.

Thanks,

Oh, really you have a buddy at the dealership...

Thank you for letting me know. The car was listed as a dealer because my friend who has a dealership posted the car for me.

Here is the VIN# WP0CB29877U730289.

My last reply, he stopped replying to me...

Do you think your friend would mind if I called him/her?

He figured out I was playing him. Report him to whom? Did a search, might be someone in Brazil, what are you going to do?
