Here is another example of a dirt bag scam artist posing as US Military Personnel. In reality there is no car for sale, it’s just an elaborate scam to cheat people out of money.

Hello,
If you are interested in my 2003 Toyota Camry LE, it is in perfect condition, with no need for additional repairs, no scratches, dings, and special marks whatsoever. It has 32, 154 miles and the VIN # is: 4T1BE32K63U771971. It has a clear title ready to be signed and notarized on your name.
I have the pictures hosted on the net and you can see them at: http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=2035387.
The car is located in Simi Valley, CA.
The price is $2, 500 including shipping costs anywhere in the continental US. There are no other costs regarding this transaction. I am selling the car because I am in the army, and my unit will be deployed to Afghanistan in January.
The transaction will be closed only through a 3rd party and this way we will both be protected. My time is limited due to my job in the army so I decided to use a service from ProPay. To begin the transaction I'll need your full name and shipping address, I will forward the details of our transaction to ProPay and then you will receive an invoice from them. The car will be shipped insured to your location with DAS and you will have 5 days for inspection.
Jerry Mercante.
