Possible scammer?
So ive been looking around near me and someone was selling a 350z on CraigsList. I contacted them and they said :
"Hi,I've received your email regarding the Nissan 350z with 68,360 miles on it. The car is still for sale and my asking price is $2,000. It is a 2003 model loaded with everything, VIN# JN1AZ34D73T117248. The car is very well maintained and it has just been completely serviced. The engine runs very good and the automatic transmission shifts perfectly.The car is in perfect condition with clear title,no accidents, no liens or loans.
I'm an oceanographer and I'm on sea at this moment, so I left the car in Centralia, IL, at the shipping company, it's already packed and waiting to be shipped anywhere.
Here are some pictures with the car:

Let me know if you are still interested."
Can someone please help me out here? I dont know if its a scam, but its throwing out some red flags. Thanks

Sounds legit to me.
Just have your $2000 sent to me via WesternUnion wire transfer.
As soon as I get back from my current assignment navigating the polar ice cap, to a place where there are phones, I will have the car shipped to you - for free.

I wonder why there's not stings operations where pd catches the scammer getting the money at western union. Or they already doing that?. I'd love to do that on my own and catch the guy n beat him
I would like to buy the 350z the OP is selling. I would gladly offer 8 thousand us dollars. Please PM me your adress, full name, SSN, bank account info, and a copy of your drivers license so I can verify where to send the check. Since the check will be for more than your 2 thousand dollar asking price I would request that you return to me the balance after cashing the check. you should feel free to keep 1 thousand dollars for your troubles. I look forward to your response.
"I'm on sea at this moment" - Uncommon phasing = scammer.
