Yep, a scam. He is in the U S Army and everything is secret? He is a military SEER instructor. He wants you to log into your paypal account so he can get that info, probably. The phone call makings are restricted? Who talks like that? |

Sounds like a scam although he's not asking for any sensitive info other than maybe your address.I suspect the motive would be to obtain access to your paypal account somehow. |

Crap.. that is a tough one, personally I wouldn't use paypal, I would ask for a certified check and cash it before registration would be turned over. he is pulling all the heartstrings on this one... use caution... JMO |

Scam for sure. I received same exact thing recently when selling a car. He was texting me and couldn't talk on the phone. Sent me about 10 text messages demanding my Paypal info, I told him Cash or no sale and stop answering his text. |

I don't trust PayPal. A few years ago someone charged my credit card, twice, $1700 through it and simultaneously took the same amount, twice, out of my checking account. I eventually got my money back but it was a hassle. PayPal ISN'T safe. The bank told me this happens frequently. ------------------ |

Text MONEY TALKS, B.S. WALKS ! Even Certified Checks can be bogus. Once your bank has money in hand and in your account, only then does the transaction complete.. |

Cashier's check,,,Certified Bank check, or even a Postal Money Order could be bogus. I've found a Bank to Bank wire transfer of funds from the buyer's bank to my bank account/bank manager direct,,,,has worked well for me. I keep one, small savings account with very little money within,,,,that I use to receive a wire transfer payment. |

Unless you've received another offer besides the one in your first post than this is definitely a SCAM. Try typing into google the first few lines of the message you posted and you'll find that this same line has been used in many instances over the years. |
