MMMM sounds scamtastic.
If you are seriously interested I would insist on seing the car in person before the sale and paying cash (in person).

Good that you have access and want to / can help significantly, but info like this needs to stick to PMs (or not be shared at all, which I assume you have a contractual obligation with working with the DMV).
While perhaps he should have sent it in a PM. I can't cast too much blame. While the woman's names do not match lets look at the facts
-Both women
-Names of similar sounding origin (latino/hispanic)
-Both from FL
If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck.....

Sounds exactly like the scam a friend of mine was getting into. She tells me she is finally getting rid of her Jetta for a "new" car. She tells me it's like a 2003 Mercedes Benz E-Class for $12k.
I said first thing, before you go on telling me about the car.....did he mention shipping, out of the country, or anything involving a check from a bank, etc.? She said yeah, how did you know? I just laughed a little and said trust me, it's a scam. Don't bother.

I was going to edit it, but if this information is publicly available, then no need to. It's already had the spider grab/catalogue it.
I meant contour.org being a publicly visible site. Looks like our UBBThreads isn't spidered, though the Archives are.

Everything I put on this site from other sites is public information to everyone, just have to search for it. Besides she posted her vehicle VIN number and her email account which consited of a full name, just the VIN number alone gives so much information.

Free shipping and a great deal is always the sign of a scam. A price of 20% of the value is just stupid and so is the scammer

However, it has worked in the past. I will try to dig up the most famous case.
