Posted an item on craigslist and Steve replied and stated that he was working out of an AFB and could not meet in person. Said would pay via a Paypal acct and that we should set one up if we did not have one. Did a search on email and came up with this scam page. Avoid contact with this person.

Contacted through craigslist wanting to buy our vehicle, but he was serving in the service in Shahbaz air force base. He wanted us to set up a paypal account & provide him with our address so he can figure out how much shipping will cost. Conversations just started, so I'm sure more will come. Thanks to this site.

Wants to buy your product and asks you to send money to the shipping company in advance through Western Union. Then of course your money is gone and he never intended to buy anything. Sent Money to Auto shipping inc. Maggie Watson in Lauderdale Lakes Fl. All the names are probably false.
