I am buying a vehicle from person on a military base who tells me that when I buy the vehicle it will be delivered to my house. Is this real?

How are they asking for payment? Because just the basic info you provided sounds like a scam.

Did you find this car on Craigslist? Or social media exchange pages? Don't give anyone any money until you get what you're purchasing. Also you need to have any car you are about to purchase checked out before you buy it especially from someone you don't know.

If you buy a car from someone it's as is. So if it's messed up when you buy it and you don't know you can't get the money back later.

If you don't want to get screwed don't buy from someone you have suspicions about. Definitely don't give that person any money until you have the car and title transferred over. I wouldn't buy from someone online though.

Based on that email, don't send the money. I suspect there's not even a vehicle behind that ad, and you'll never see your money again.

James Adair Do not send any money or buy the car. This is not real and sounds like a scam.

I am skeptical of most things that are for sale on the internet. I would want to see said car in person, not hand over money until I see a clear title etc. For every honest person out there trying to sell something, there are 3 crooks.

Sounds totally legit to me...if you send your account information to my rich Uncle in Nigeria, along with your password and the birth information of your first born, we can pick it up for you?
