This is a complete scam

Seen an advertisement on http://www.cargurus.com/ for a nice truck at a decent price, and it was listed in my city. I e-mailed inquiring about the vehicle, price, and any additional photos if possible. Received an email in reply with the following:
"Hello,

My name is Thomas, and I'm emailing you about 2005 FORD F-150 XLT 4-DOOR 4X4 with an gasoline engine, automatic transmission and only 122,480 miles. Never had or need any paint/body work done, garaged keep always, without any mechanical problems, tires and wheels are in great shape as well, electric is working perfectly. The engine V8 gas, runs very good and the automatic transmission shifts perfectly. Has a clean and clear US title in my name and there are no liens or loans on it. This car has been used by my wife who died 4 months ago. The price was reduced at $2,900 because I'm in a hurry to find a buyer. I need to sell the car before the February 27, when I will be leaving on military duty with my medical team out of the country for a year and do not want to store it. Hate to sell it but its not worth keeping insurance and paying storage fees for a year. Also, the car is too big for my daughter so there's no use on keeping it. If you are interested in buying it or if you have any questions, please reply to this email.

I look forward to hearing from you,
Senior Medic Sgt. 1st Class Thomas Porter"

I apologized for his wife's passing, and told him to be safe in his travels and make sure he and his team come back home; I am a retired U.S. Air Force member so I can understand. Here is the reply:
"Right now I'm in a military base. We are training, getting ready for leaving the country. The delivery process will be managed by me. I think I can have it there at your home address within 3 working days. It will come with a clear title and reg. I am a member of the Military Car Shipping Program and using this service you will get a 5 days testing period after delivery. During that 5 days testing period I will not be getting any money (the money during the transaction will be at Military Financial Department ).I need to know if you are interested so I can make arrangements with Military Car Shipping to send you the details on this deal. If interested just email with your legal name (your right full name 'cause it will appear on the papers), full postal address where you want the vehicle delivered and your cell phone # where you can be reached so we can get the ball rolling.


I look forward to hearing from you,
Senior Medic Sgt. 1st Class Thomas Porter"

This pissed me off; anyone who knows anything about the military, know this is a scam right from the get go. Other flags appeared as well with the nomenclator he used in his email. I do not want to put all the flags as they can look at these sites and know what was wrong, but to use the death of his wife, his daughter, deployment, and just purely using anything to do with being in the military. This is a scam, and I want everyone to be aware; look at the terminology, research it and make sure it is legit. Otherwise, chances are it is a fake. WOW, defended the country for over 20 years, and to have someone do this, well let's say they better hope we never meet. Plenty of my friends and military comrades have gone over and died over there; to use it for a scam..... Stay away.
