I'm just wondering if you think it's a scam I'm trying to buy a 2005 Ford F-150 for 2500

He says it's shipping through amazon but is being transported by the lagistics department and amazon supposedly sent me an email and it had an item and everything but the item number starts with a 697 i don't no if this is an actual amazon email because this person has also showed on a picture of the title and the vin number and stuff but it kinda seems to good to be true

Of course it's a scam.

*IF* it seems TOO good to be true, it probably is… Plus, never knew Amazon even HAD a logistic department…

Phone Amazon and ask them if they have any record of this with whatever transaction number you've been given.

It's got scam written all over it. Never buy a vehicle online unless you can physically go to the location and inspect it, drive it, verify the name on the title & registration is the same as the name of the seller - verify the seller's ID. Ensure the title is an original, not a scanned or photocopied image. Anyone can take a picture of a title and edit the information on it to make it look legit.

Sounds phony. Go pick it up yourself. Shipping costs money.

It's a scam. Amazon does not email you. Unless you found the vehicle listed on Amazon.com and you pay on Amazon.com, it's fake
There's NO Ford -- it's a scam to steal $2500 from you for a vehicle that doesn't exist

You never buy any vehicle unless you have seen it in person, taken it for a test drive, had the mechanic of your choice inspect it AND verify IN PERSON that the seller's ID matches the name on the title. If you can't do all 4, you are buying a vehicle that doesn't exist, you are buying a lemon, or you are buying a stolen vehicle

Think about it -- if it existed or were not stolen or didn't need $4000 worth of work, why would anyone ship it when they could sell it to any local dealer for $4000-5000 cash in hand?

Sounds like a scam. And, it's just VIN… Not VIN number. The "N" stands for "number." Not vehicle identification number number.

Are you smart enough to check the Kelly Blue Book to see what the going price would be for that vehicle(12year old truck), that's your first clue
if you fall for this someone needs to keep hold of your check book to protect you from yourself

As a general rule, when something seems too good to be true, it isn't true. It's almost surely either a total scam or in terrible shape, probably a scam. If you ask him why he's selling it and get a response that it belonged to his son/dad/best friend/whoever who died recently and he just wants it to go to someone who will appreciate it, that's a popular scam going around right now.
