REMEMBER FOLKS, THIS IS AN ARCHIVED SCAM ATTEMPT
It was a nice looking undervalued, well equipped truck. The scam was basically the truck was sitting in a 3rd party warehouse, so it was unable to be seen in person. However after sign up/purchase it would be shipped by their shipper to my house and if I didn't like I could return it at no expense!
Emails below that I received, basically the same email from three different people for the same truck. The ad was even run in two different market areas by two different people at the same time.
"The truck is not sold yet. it is in very good to excellent condition throughout, with all items and options working as they should. Since purchasing, it has always been kept in my heated garage. Engine and transmission are in perfect conditions, no leaks, no smoke, no slips. The truck gets serviced every 3000 miles. Tires are rotated when the oil is changed. This truck has had a great life . Truck has been waxed every 6 months, routinely professionally detailed, small dents tailgate, rear bumper, and doors, small scratches from road rocks on both sides, paint chipped off front bumper in several area's, but all in all it is still very shiny and looks great.This truck rides and handles really smooth. It is a non-smokers truck. It has never been in an accident. It has a clear and clean title, free of all liens and encumberances.

I have to let you know that i left town a few days ago because i have to help my daughter organize her wedding, and i may stay here a while, but this is no problem because i`ll sell it through OAT services. I guess you used OAT before, if you didn`t let me know because i met people that never used it and i will explain how it works in detail. I want to sell it now because i need the money for my daughters wedding so if you are interested in buying it now let me know"
and
"I'm pleased you are still interested. Like i said before i'll explain the Online Assistant Trader concept,
their website is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx . They are a chain of ebay drop off stores and they offer their services for craigslist users too. I left the truck in their possession when i left and intended to sell it when i got back (if you ask why i'm selling it now when i'm not around), but the wedding costs too much and i need to sell it now to help my daughter get married.. They will take care of shipping, payment and title transfer(it is already signed by me and notarized so they are empowered to do this ). So if you want to purchase the truck, all you have to do is to register on their website. After you are registered with them an invoice will be sent to you. There you will find out more details about this sale like how to complete the payment, shipping process, insurance,etc .Afterward you have to complete the payment. They receive the payment and start the shipping process. You receive the truck and you have 10 days to inspect it and see if it's exactly as described. If you decide to keep it, you let them know and they will transfer the payment to me, if you decide to return it, they will give you a full refund back and return the item on my cost. So you can be sure the truck is exactly as described because i wouldn't sell something that i know it will be returned and loose extra money. The shipping cost is already included in the price listed on craigslist so you don't have to worry about that. The process is very simple, it probably looks a little complicated from what i explained but it's not and for a better understanding of how their service works you can check out their "Selling on Craigslist" page. I would advise you to read the Selling on Craigslist page before you register so you can be sure you understand how the process works. Let me know if you are still interested and if you have questions please ask, no problem. Also, if you don't want to register on their website for any reason, you can send me your full name and shipping address and i will forward it to them, but it's better if you register yourself.
Thank you
PS: I am sorry for the long email but i couldn't explain the process in less words."

1972 Chevrolet “Longhorn” Custom 30 Deluxe
I am the 3rd owner of this truck. It was in the original owner's family until about five years ago. It only has 57,300 original miles. The interior is in very nice condition. It runs and drives great, starts easily, and shifts smoothly. I drove it about 500 miles this past Spring with no problems. This is a very solid truck. The tailgate must have been off of this truck most of the time, because it is in near new condition.
