This guy first sent me a txt msg.  From 208-329-5185. Said interested in your car.  Please send me an email to mralexbanks@gmail.com  I live in Seattle this guy's number was from Idaho only 300/400 miles away.  

Before even asking questions about the car wanted to buy it and send me a Paypal since it's so secure to do it that way.  lol...

His linked in profile says he works for NOAA a government agency, so I called my friend that works there to look him up in the directory.  No Alexander W. Banks that works for NOAA.  

I think your guy has changed his name to ALEX BANKS Today.  lol... STUPID SCAMMERS.

----------------------------

I'm very much interested and I want you to know that you don't have to surf around looking for buyers because you've just found one. This is a gift for my Dad in Idaho, I hope you understand my eagerness to complete this transaction a.s.a.p...?

I am away at sea at the moment, I work as an Oceanographer and I am presently offshore in New Zealand Taranaki Basin on kapo project. Once I make the paypal payment and is transferred into your account, the agent will contact you in-order to handle the pickup from your location and he will also be of assistance concerning the change of ownership by presenting all the information's/documents needed to complete the change of ownership.

I got an almost identical e-mail from"ALEX" wanting to buy a motorcycle from 774-929-6635 the first time. The next message came from "coleinsearch147@gmail.com", then a third message from 202-290-9155.

There must be some laws broken here, how can he be stopped?
