Default Scam?

So I found the truck of my dreams has just about everything I am looking for with just a few little things needed that I want. So I sent the seller a email because he didnt list the mileage.

here is the reply that I got..

Hi,
This is a charity sale, I will donate money to a children's
foundation so that business will be done through eBay,
because they organize a lot of work to this end. Right now I'm in a
business trip and can not meet to show you the car, but I can send
you more pictures and details. I hope it's good for you. I can arrange
the delivery on my expense. If you want to buy the car send me your
full name and address of delivery and eBay will contact you with all
the details of this transaction (invoices and payment details). If you
agree with my price and terms I'm ready to reserve the car for you.
The vehicle has a clean title and is not under leasing or bank
liabilities. The paint is in perfect shape. There are no dings, scratches,
damage or rust on the body. This vehicle has been very well maintained
and kept both smoke and accident free.
I will expect your e-mail.
Thank you

Id NEVER buy a car or truck sight unseen there are too many doushe bags out there that will get your money and you'll never see the product you just shelled out the cash for...so i would say no and either run a way or wait til he can meet you in person to show you the truck

I wouldnt send money like that. I agree. I was gonna arrange a friend to go look at it and see if it for real. Then deliver cash. COD like it should be.. I am starting to think its too good to be true.. Especially when he wouldnt give the mileage..

What's said above and anyone shipping cars for free is a scam!!!
I see these deals all the time on Craig list and eBay they are trying to sell a 30k dollar car for $4,500 and ship it to you for free, if it's too good to be true it usually is. When I was looking for a truck I was searching a large area and almost every major area had the same 06 dodge ram for sale for $12,500 less than half of what other similar trucks were going for. Good luck finding your dream truck I ended up going to Nashville to get mine, but I got what I wanted for what I wanted to spend

I should have known it was too good... $27,540

Custom Built 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab 4x4, Laramie package and Kelderman Air Ride Lift. I bought the truck brand new and since then have put about 35k in aftermarket parts. Lets start with how the truck came from the factory. 5.9L HO Cummins Turbo Diesel. 4 spd auto. Air Bags. Power windows/locks/mirrors. Sentry Key Theft System. Keyless entry. 34 Gal tank. Power adj pedals. Rear power slider. Dual zone temp control. Power 6 way front seats. In dash Navigation. AM/FM Satelite radio, 7 Infinity speakers, 6 disc CD/MP3 and DVD w/remote and head phones. Khaki leather heated bucket seats. Power sunroof. Overhead console w/trip computer and garage remote. Tow package with trailer brake set up. I had a Kelderman Air Ride Lift prof. installed shortly after I bought it. The kit adjusts from around 8"-14" of lift. Each corner is independent and can adjust up and down as you drive down the road. The air gages are mounted in the cab and the compressor is under the bed of the truck. The kit has dual front Bilstein shocks and singles in the rear. I origionally was running 40's but decided to drop down to a 37" The truck will clear a 42" if you wanted. For more info on the lift please visit keldermanairride.com. It has 4.56 gears and drives down the Highway perfectly. I had custom drive lines built to work properly with the lift. I also added a AGR hydrolic steering assist/stabilizer system to get rid of any play. Some other parts/accessories that have been added are: bolt on fender flares, Bug deflector, gas cap cover, custom built hood with scoop, chrome front gril, Sidewinder electric drop steps, rhino lined bed/flares, Full Magna Flow exhaust with intake, Bully Dog Outlook/Programer, tinted windows, stainless rear diff cover, 2 drop hitches, 22x11 American Racing Black Teflon coated wheels and Brand New 37x13.50R22 Toyo M/T's. The truck is in great condition!!

Nice looking truck, it would take a semi to ship that thing.
That's one of the better ads I've seen usually some of the description doesn't make sense. They probably stole someone's add.

Call me crazy, but that add sure doesn't seem to good to be true to me. What I mean is, that price seems high, especially considering the lift, tires, wheels, that in my mind ruins the trucks usefulness. Imagine the labor cost of getting that thing back to stock.
