Hi,
First, a few words about this 2007 Chevrolet Silverado is in perfect working condition, garage kept, with nothing mechanically wrong - like new! This truck has only 117,000 miles, used just to cruise. No accident history, clear title, no dents or dings and no scratches. Engine size: 5.3L 8 Cyl., Drive train: 4-Wheel drive, Transmission type: Automatic, Color: Silver /Dark Titanium Leather. If you decide to buy it, you'll receive all the papers, owner manual, keys, a buy-sell contract already signed by me and the clear title.

I have a low price ($2500), because I want to sell it before January, 27. Reason for selling is that I am in US Army and my unit will be sent back oversea to replace and help the troops scheduled to come home this year, and I don't want it get old in a storage garage for 18 months. This transaction will be made trough eBay Motors Advantage. In this way you can receive assistance for shipping, titles transfer, etc. If you are interested to buy it, reply me back.

Looking forward to hear from you,

I heard tamera and John labarge setting up a money gram or a western union with a friend if theirs on the phone . They set it up to where tamara was gonna take 200.00 and send it to another friend in denton..but the person they went to worked for ither money gram or western union and for a percentage that person was gonna add on some extra zeros to make it 2,000.00 instead of 200.00 they. All worked together to try and pull this scam off on January 2o,2016 between 7:30 pm and 9:35pm

I received a text from a man claiming to have a home he wanted the exterior painted on. He went on to ask me to accept his credit card. I responded by letting him know I am not setup to accept credit cards and asking him if his project is in my local area (Columbus, Georgia). He did not respond right away. About a week later, another text came in from him stating that he needed an estimate immediately and he HAD to be able to put it on his credit card. He went on to ask me if I would talk to my bank and see about setting up a way for him to pay with his credit card. He said that he was out of town for medical reasons and with a sale pending on the home he needed me to take his credit card for payment as soon as possible. I promised to look into it. He then wanted to know when I could get back to him and gave me a couple of days to do it. I then asked this guy is he even WANTED an estimate first? He said he did and wanted me to have an estimate and answer to his question by Friday. (This was on a Wednesday). I said I would run by the house in the morning and get back to him by Friday. Since I am a female paint contractor, I immediately became suspicious. My photo is on my site and I often worry that meeting someone at a house might be a setup. So keeping that in mind, I asked the man for his name. He had asked me for mine and I had given it. He said his name was James Clark and he would talk to me on Friday. I logged onto the county property tax site to look at the address he had given me. The property was in fact for sale, but the owner's name was not the same as the name he had given me.

Trying not to condemn anyone without cause, I rode straight over there. There were cars in the driveway and the house looked like it had just received a coat of paint. I contacted the Real Estate agent who's name was on the sign. She confirmed that the house had just been painted, and called the owner to double check and see if they, or someone in their family had been looking for a painter, or had been texting one. It was a big old fat "NO". I decided then not to take this seriously and did not correspond with him again. He tried calling me tonight. The number he texts from is a (707) number, but the number he called from is a (813) number. I hung up on him, but he called right back. I let it go to voicemail. While I was listening to his voicemail, he texted me. He has such a thick Mid-Eastern accent, I could barely make out the vocal message but his text message was rather chastising as he didn't understand why I didn't get his information to him today. I responded by texting him that I was going to have to pass on this job but wished him luck with this project. I then sat down with Google and learned that many of these scammers are asking people to take their credit card, then they ask you to take more than they owe, upwards of thousands of dollars, and then send them the extra money to cover medical bills. Please do not take these calls seriously!

Here is a copy of the email that was sent to me. The person/place wants to pay for storage on safety box that supposedly contains a ridiculous amount of money it. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is a scam.:
