I just received the same text and email from this Francis Garvin and was suspicious because it was too good to be true.  He was buying vehicle his Dad...worked off shore...needed to use paypal and would have courier agent etc...
What a scammer!!!
My internet inquires lead me here.

Just got this email today....paypal thing did sound little fishy and email search led me here. Thanks for sharing everyone.
-----------------
Thanks for the swift response and do as well advise on the least amount you will like to give it away as i am buying this for Dad and due to the nature of my job and location...i will not be able to come for inspection,am a very busy type as i work long hours everyday,i have gone through your advertisement and i am satisfied with it.
As for the payment..i can only pay via the fastest and secure way to pay online(PayPal) here.I have a private courier agent that will come for the pick up after the payment have been made ...so no shipping included and With the issue of my details,transferring the name of ownership and signing of all paperwork will be done by the courier services company agent so you don't have to worry about that.
You can now send me your PayPal email so i can pay in right away and also include your address in your reply.If you don't have a paypal account, you can easily set up one...log on to www.paypal.com  and sign up its very easy... i would have loved to talk to you on phone but i work mainly offshore, our phone is down on the rig right now due to bad weather, that was why i sent you a text, i even wonder how my message deliver to your phone but for now we can only communicate through the same mailing channel.await your reply asap.
-----------------

Yes it is....

Same message as noted above. Text first and then email. Phone number and email have changed to:
587-779-9491 and francis.garvin@hotmail.com. Supposedly works offshore now on a rig and can't call due to bad weather and will arrange for pick up.....buying the car for his Dad.....open paypal account.....

Leary of this. Was hoping for a quick sale, but seems too good to be true. Who buys a car without seeing it?

Thanks you for the response according to the description,am okay with the price and the condition pasted on cl. I am ready to make instant purchase.My mode of payment would be in CERTIFIED CHECK and i will arrange for a local pick up as soon as you get the check, because that is the only inconvenient means for me and due to my work frame i can not be able to get there and i promise everything will go smoothly.I really wish to be there to check out the item but i don't have chance cause am very busy person (US MARINE). Concerning the pick up, i will arrange for it after you receive the payment and it clears... Please get back to me with below info so that i can proceed with the payment immediately if you are selling to me.


Anyone have seen this ?? Is this a scam

Got a text from 6477939100:

"is your car still for sale, tell me your final price. await your response asap through via email address francis_garvin07@yahoo.com" I wrote him back with the price and said I wasn't home but would email him later. He replied "thanks for the swift response. I am ready to buy it now and would be looking forward to hear again from you".

Since the area code was from another province I asked where he was located and he did not reply. Thought I would google the email address and attempt to find him on facebook before I proceeded with an email. Glad that I did!!

BE CAREFUL!!!

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?

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.

Anyone knows who this is?

The same gumtree paypal scam. just a different number. francisgarvin@yahoo.com +1 647 795 0432
Trying to sell my car and had a text message within minutes asking to email him, then he asked me to set up a paypal account. It was supposesably for his dad and he worked offshore and couldn't come and see it but he has a courier that will come and pick it up.
DODGY.......

Put my car
Up for sale 3 minutes before receiving a text from said number saying email him . So I did . Offered me my asked price straight away saying a courier will come and we should pay through paypal . Scammer. My cars nice . But to get a hit from "a rigger who can't be there to inspect but trusts my details on the car " thought it'll defiantly be too good to ne true

Thank you ive been getting those msg as well. It seems way too good to be true.
