Found a deal on craigslist too good to be true on a truck. All seemed legit until the email that asked for address etc. and explained that I was to send a moneygram money order to ebay vpp after they sent me an invoice. money was to be held by ebay while the tuck was shipped to me (free) and if I didn’t want the truck he would ship it back for free. Accompanied by convincing “just got divorced and am shipping out to Iraq” story. He is using: James Hamilton as his handle today. He was in Georgia, shipping from Arkansas, and advertising in the midwest….yeah…
