yeah it sounds like a scam to me as well, stay away from it, barduh is rite, they would have to put the money in my bank acc first

Don't do it! I've been screwed in a Paypal transaction in the past and never again.

In late, but I've gotten similar emails from CL ads, its a scam. I've used bank routing numbers for large payments for my business with no problems. It is the bankers talking to bankers. The paypal site he is linking to is probably a spoof site, looks like the real thing. bonus for them is they will now have your paypal information too and can drain out any money you get deposited in the account by legit users.

Exactly what OrrieG said, scammers are only interested in your paypal details to syphon your funds, No interest in what you have to sell!

Rudoo, glad you asked and didn't get mixed up in this!

**too much stuff** · 01-08-2012, 10:15 PM

Run away from this deal!!!!!!

Posting your question ended up being a blessing in disguise!

Rudoo · 01-08-2012, 10:29 PM

Thanks everyone sooooooo much!!!! I am glad I asked. I would have been in some BIG trouble! This is all new to me. I bought this truck because I wanted one. Good reason right? Only thing is, I have no mechanical knowledge and no tools to do work myself. So, this truck was not a good choice for me because it does need some work other than regular maintenance.

I've found any time time they use the word's ADVERT and / or AGENT it's a scammer.
