I'm a valid seller, selling my truck, and this John Walker aka John Waltar said he was a naval officer interested in purchasing my truck but claims there is no cellular network at sea therefore to email him. Negotiations are made through email. I knew right away this guy was a scammer. Things he said didn't make sense and the whole thing was iffy. This was his email to me:

Hello there
I want to buy this for my son as a birthday gift, but I'm out of town. I'll probably have my carrier agent come pick it up, but she is clueless about Vehicle. I'm worried about reliability, obviously, so if you don't mind I have a couple questions...
1: whats the mileage ?
2: What problems does it have that I need to fix?
3: Has it passed smog / inspection and do you have copies of the receipts?
4: Do you have the title?
5: What's your lowest price?
6: Do you have a PayPal account I can pay through?
Regards
