Thank you! We just got a call from the same guy today...this is a HUGE help as we were very suspicious that he wanted to purchase the car sight-unseen

I got the same call last night. I wrote emailed him and let him know that there is only ons place for people who pretend they are missionaries or reverses. It's called "hell"

Got the identical e-mail the day after I put the car on auto trader!
Purchase sight unseen, The good Reverend is on a mission trip, wants to buy ASAP, buying vehicle for another man who is a mechanic, will send a mover to pick up vehicle once his money clears my pay pal account, etc.

I left a message at that phone number telling Rev. John to google his name and see the other people he sent the same message to.
And I told him---thanks and God bless.
Anyone know how this scam works?  It sounded too good to be true and that sent up flags for me.

just got the small ploy from this guy as well, Rev John Smalling from cell# 21-612-3575 and email revjohnsmalling@gmail.com while using autotrader
