Military misrepresentation scam

Beware any emails from @honourablepersons.com !!!

I found this website after googling the honourablepersons.com email.  I recieved the following message which is word for word under another post under the name Lt Robert Thorn, but with the exact same phone #:

 

Hello again,
Right now I’m located in Aviano, Italy. I’m in the Air Force and i have to stay here for the next 2 years.

This is a family truck. My father was the first owner. It wasn’t used for hard work. Yes, everything is in good condition, the hubs, the brakes, engine.

The reason of selling it, is that the registration of a truck with US standards in an European country will cost me up to $5000 on inspections, modifications and paper work.

 

I am not so familiar with online sales and I decided to use a service from an business-specialized company, eBay Motors Vehicle Purchase Protection (VPP).
The payment will be completed to eBay Motors. After you receive the truck, inspect it (for 3 days) and register it on your name, eBay will release the payment to me. If, by any reason, you won’t be satisfied with it ( even though I can assure you that it is exactly as described), you can refuse the truck and ask for a full refund of your deposit, no questions asked. You will keep the truck for few days until i will find another buyer in your area, and there will be no need for you to ship the truck back. I think this is more than fair for both of us.

 

I will handle the shipping. The truck will be shipped via US Air Military Cargo, so i will not pay shipping fees. You will get the truck in 4-5 days.

 

The deal WILL BE MADE UNDER THE eBay Motors RULES AND POLICIES. Both of us will be protected. I WILL NOT DEAL OUTSIDE EBAY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!

 

If you want to move forward, I will need to know your full name, shipping address and phone number. Once I will receive your details, I will forward the details for our transaction to eBay Motors, and after that, they will send us all the intructions of the transaction.

 

I have my US cell phone with me so if you want to call me, you can find me at +1 650-488-8074

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Lt. Tom Wallace
