i don't put my phone on there anymore, don't know if anybody got this but i kept getting calls from this dude wanting me to list my vehicle with there service for a small fee. So i read up on it and turns out ofcourse its spam and you pay the money and never hear from them again.

I'd never ever give my cell # out like that...all the ads I put on CL now just have one of my old email accounts...if someone is serious, after a couple of emails I'll trade numbers.

And that is how I word it too, "trade numbers". I've sold a T5 and an 8.8 rear, as well as some some other non-car stuff, never been ripped. But I have gotten the bogus emails, bullshiznit "car listing ads", and such.
Just gotta be savvy.

And, to the OP, never trust someone who will buy a car sight unseen, lol. Especially when they want to send some money like you've mentioned. Sounds like you figured it out though. Merry Christmas!
