This is the ad that I was interested in...Ad #182493687. He wants me to send $500 deposit via Walmart and will ship motor. After motor is received by me and validated, I should send the remaining $5,500. He emailed me a contract that stated such an arrangement.
1. Says his name is Brian Weber. Cannot locate a Brian Weber in DC that matches this guy.
2. Says his address is 521 Peabody St NE, Washington, DC. Cannot find Brian Weber at this address
3. Says his phone is 202-792-0927. Cannot find who owns that phone. One search came up with Arlett Bivin
4. Wants to use Walmart and refuses to use Escrow.com.
5. Wants me to only send $500 and he would send the motor, saying the 'contract' protects us.
6. Uses engineer.com email domain
To me, all of these items are red flags.
