They texted me a request to sell my truck to them that they found on kijiji.ca!  here is the email returned to me but the phone number is the number they texted me from!

Thanks for the prompt reply,My name is Rebecca Dagg, i believe my son Donald sent you a text message to email me for the sale,I would like to know the lowest price,more pictures and its
present condition because i cant come over to inspect it,i am buying it locally here in Canada for my son studying/working abroad  (Malaysia).I am work at sea as i am a marine biologist (i work  on the St-Lawrence river in Quebec. my office: Pilotes du  Bas-St-Laurent] and due to the nature of my work, phone calls is restricted, i can only use my ipad to partially  communicate.I am really sure he will be more than happy if i am able to purchase it from you because this is  what he want and chose from the Advert.
You need not worry yourself about how it will get to him there in Malaysia as i have a contact of shipping  company there that will be handling the pick up and all the paper work.
Regards

i recieved the same text message on may 5th to purchase my truck. i followed through a little further with my emails and she wants to buy it for her son in malaysia and is requesting my paypal info. to send me the money? what do you make of this?Scam or what?

Definitely a scam.  If you agree to use Paypal, they will reverse the charges.

thanx for your input as i am not aware of all these scams out there but seemed something was not quite right

And by reversing the charges you mean the money will come out of my account instead of it going in?

It's a common scam.  If the buyers cannot meet you in person, don't bother with them.

They will put money in your Paypal account at first, then pull it out, making a complaint to Paypal that the merchandise was in poor condition or somesuch.  Paypal usually favors the buyer and the scammers take advantage of this.

i contacted paypal and they tell me to create an invoice to protect myself and that they do not just reverse the charges without speaking to seller as well. Can the buyer access my account now? I will not be proceeding with this sale, thanx for all your input.

THIS IS THE ONE OF  THE    WORLD'S  BIGGEST  SCAMs..... !!!


how   could  you  not  know  about  this ?

Just a country boy who still believes in a good hand shake to make a deal(but i could not even do that) so i investigated further and found you guys. thanx  I know about this scam now! I will be on the lookout for more now
