Hi, I just got a similar message from phone number (647) 795-0928 - same name and email. The whole offshore thing and not being able to come pick up the car sounded sketchy. Does anyone have anymore details?

Yes it is....

paypal, car buying scam from francis.garvin @ yahoo.causes this phone number to text. scams you through paypal. or wants to buy your vehicle does, cannot come see it. willing to pay you double asking price etc.

Here is the next part of the communication:Hi,i was just about to make the payments for the item when i had this little problem with the picking up of the item, i just got an email from my agent that he won't come and pick up the item unless i pay him the agent commission fee first in order to be able to schedule a pick up time for the item, my pick up agent head quarters is in the United Kingdom and all payments made for pick up from anywhere in the world is sent to their head quarters in the Uk and the only form of payments they accept is western union money transfer and i tried to pay online but i will need a credit card which i didn't bring on board, and there is no post office or any western union agent on sea! so i have to ask you to help me with the pick up fees, i will include the $750 they charged to pick up the item and take it to my Dad(1st class treatment), to the payments i will send through PayPal, after i have made the payments, i will need you to help me send the $750 to my pick up agent through western union money transfer, the western union money transfer  can be made at a post office near to you,there is always a western union agent in most post offices or online at www.westernunion.com  .I will be making the payments shortly and will email you as soon as it has been done.Thanks.
