I was looking for a car then I came up with an 02 Ford Explorer. I emailed the guy if he could give me more info. So he did right away responsed saying he was selling his car because his platoon to deploy to Iraq and that he only had 7 days left to sell the truck. Then he said that if I was still interested he was goin to take care of the shipping. I did believed him so we went ahead. According to him he told google checkout to send send me the form. I recieved it and i saw real. It was explained like i will not be sending him the money directly to him, that google was going to be in the middle. So i sended the money to the the google agent. After i email the agent with the copy of the reciept. Couple of hours later i recieve an email from the google checkout that they recieved the payment, so they will notified the seller to ship out the car. After that "Ben, Thompson" send me the email stating that he just recieved the conformation but it was to later to ship out the car, so he said that he will do it first thing in the morning. Then i recieved an email saying that he was happy i bought the car and that God bless me.Ever since that time i haven't heard from him. I have been sending him emails and no response.

  • I also found 2 of the same ads for a 2002 Ford explorer & replied to both getting back two different stories but both wanting to do the "google" thing. The first person said that her son had died 2 months ago & couldnt stand to look at the truck any longer & the second said they were deploying to iraq and ad 7 days to sell the truck. These are sick people to make up such stories and to impersonate our armed forces! Christian did you ever get your money back? And was it really google that you sent it to??
