Asking you to send money to an account is nearly always a red flag. Showing you his passport was an instant red flag!! He's probably out of the country and has nothing but a picture of a truck up on a website like Ebay. Don't fall for it! The internet is full of scammers, especially Ebay and Craigslist. If it's not local either drive to see it or pay a fellow 'bolter to do it for you. And don't fall for the scam where a serviceman is having to leave for deployment and needs to sell quick. He will tell you that the truck is already either at the dock or in a freight container ready to be shipped but that he's changed his mind at the last minute to take it and needs to sell. He won't be able to take any specific pics for you because of that he will say. He will want you to wire him money to a Western Union account or to some place specific. RUN!!!
