mother selling camper. scam buyer?

[bigdee]

h " she received an email today from a guy that says he is in the military and can't make phone calls"
"but wants to buy it for his cousin at full asking price"
"to pay via paypal and send a driver to pick it up"
" he asked for the address to give to the driver".

All key clues to a scam. If you post on Graigslist your almost certain to get replies like this.....most of this scam stuff comes from Nigeria.

I'll take it. I have a check here for $40,000. I'll sign it over to you. Just return $10,000 to me, keep the extra $4,000 for your trouble. I'll pick up the trailer when I visit your town in October.

So, the "buyer" is in the army and can't make a phone call? But he can have a camper?

lol. he must be a great relative cause he said he wanted to buy it for his cousin. this is a $42k camper when it was new a few years ago
