MAJOR SCAM. My old ladys pop was looking for a truck and found one in Oklahoma for an unreal price. This guy was supposedly a marine and was getting deployed and had to get rid of it. He said the same thing about an ebay and paypal trust type thing, so we called both companies and they said they had no idea what we were talking about. So we repeatedly asked for a phone number and he gave us some bogus reply that he wasnt allowed to talk on the phone. It sounded so real that he was getting ready to drive up thyere and buy it in person and then the real red flags flew up and wouldnt give us his address or anything.

My name is Michael Winston and I live in Pompano Beach, FL. The 2003 Chevrolet Suburban Z71 Automatic is here. It has 98,529 miles, automatic transmission,and the year is 2003.Clear title, Excellent condition, no dents or scratches.Regular maintenance and oil changes were done in time. No accidents or flood damage. The engine is a 8 Cylinder, 5.3L LITER and runs very well.I need the money ASAP to save my business that is a step away from bankruptcy. That is why I am forced to sell it at this low price $2950.I want to tell you that we will use eBay in this transaction in order for both of us to be 100% protected and insured by them. eBay will supervise this transaction so there won`t be any problems. They will take care of the shipping and all the small details. You will receive the vehicle and you will have 5 days of inspection in which you can decide if you buy the vehicle or not. If you won`t like my vehicle (not your case) you notify eBay and they will send the vehicle back on my expense,if you want to keep it you announce eBay to release the payment to me (payment method and all the details will be set up by eBay) and you`ll keep the vehicle . eBay will send you an invoice at your email in which you will see how to start the this transaction and in which you can see that this transaction is legit.
Please get back to me with your full name and full address so i can forward your details to eBay in order for you to receive the invoice and all the remaining details(payment and shipping method), after that we should follow their steps.
Thank you,
Michael Winston
