The family member was overseas with the military and wanted to have a car waiting for him when he got home. He found a truck online (Ebay I believe) and began communicating with the 'seller'. Right at the point when he was about to send almost $20K to this 'seller', my family member found the exact same truck posted under various different ads around the 'net. At that point, we told the family member to let us deal with the transaction stateside for him while he was out of the country and so he communicated this new arrangement to the 'seller' who promptly disappeared. Scam aborted. This exact same scenario happened to a member of my family. The family member was overseas with the military and wanted to have a car waiting for him when he got home.
