First time here- hope I'm using this right!
I have a collector car for sale on Kijiji, and an apparent buyer who is a 10 hour drive from me.
He sent one basic msg stating interest to which I replied that it was a cash only deal, no WU,TT,EMT etc, cash only! This is his reply-
"Would you do an E=Transfer and will forward the first $1,000 and when it is to be picked up, I will make sure you have the rest ahead of time.
I would appreciate a receipt for the first $1,000 as a deposit and a copy of the ownership. In the receipt I would like to have the VIN# included in the receipt.
Can I get your address so that I can get things on the go on my end if you agree to the arrangements.
I understand were you are coming from.
You had mentioned something about the windshield, is it broken.
Thanks Dave"
I've yet to reply to the above. I do not understand how sending me an EMT in return for the requested info can be a scam- but this whole thing reeks of oddness... I contacted my local RCMP and they were not able to confirm anything about this tactic. Ideas?
