[FC] Fwd: Re: Classified ad: 1961 Eight Door Van

[Paul Campbell]

Michael,
   Since I work for the Department of Defense, I have a friend at Marine Corps Headquarters.  If you would like, I could check with the Marine Corps and find out if this guy even exists.  My gut tells me this is surely a "scam" though.

He is sending a check and then you are supposed to pay someone else for the inspection from money he has sent you, and he will never buy the vehicle because the cashiers check will come back to you as invalid and you are stuck paying all the costs to the bank and out the money you paid out for the inspection for him.
