The site is currently being used in association with scam ads of Craigslist.
The scammers are asking for payments using Western Union.
One of the seller's email addresses is Tom1east@gmail.com

Here are some excerpts from the scammer's emails:

After verifying the trustworthiness of the seller and the availability of the Vehicle for immediate shipping, we have approved your buy it now transaction and offered you, as the buyer, full purchase protection for the amount you agreed on with the seller.
    The seller Thomas Easterling, started the transaction over the  U.S. Army Shopping & Safety Service. US Army requires the payment to be done through wire transfer service to an US Army financial verified agent.
    You are receiving this e-mail because you are going to buy a vehicle and your seller requested to use U.S. Army Shopping & Safety Service. The U.S. Army Shopping & Safety Service offers a set of services that build protection into every step of the vehicle buying process. Some of the elements are automatically included when you buy a vehicle covered by the program element (not all elements are available for all vehicles) while some of the elements are available for a small fee. The U.S. Army Shopping & Safety Service Program is your safety net in the rare circumstance that something goes wrong.

Instructions for payment :


    * Buyer and Seller Agree to Terms
                Both parties agree to the terms of the transaction, which include a description of the Vehicle, sale price and any shipping information.

Therefore, no one else except our Agent can pick up the money. Your payments cannot be lost in the mail, like money orders or checks.

One of the scammers is using:
Brian s. enajay67@googlemail.com
Hello again,
Like I said you before the car it's in perfect conditions and it's into US Army possesion in our military base in  NORTH DAKOTA !
The final price is 2700$ !
The delivery won't be a problem, as I told you we have 1 free shipping per year, with no charges for you.
Shipping may take anywhere between 4-5 business days depending on the destination. All documents you need for ownership, manuals and bill of sale will be provided along with the car.
For this transaction I will use only US Army Shopping Service as a third party.
Here is how the service works:
First US Army shopping will send you by email the payment invoice with infos where you must to send the payment !
After you will make the payment, US Army logistics department will shipp you the car to your shipping address !
US Army shopping service  will keep your money into a protection account until you get the car and will release it to me after inspection period is over and you agree to keep it. So,you can see the car before committing to buy and to eliminate any concerns you will have 7 days to inspect it.If you decide not to keep it US Army logistics will refund your all money, no questions asked, and shipping back will be my concern. I think this is more than fair for both of us.
The payment must be send to US Army financial agent! Only after you will send the payment to US Army financial agent the US Army logistic department will start the shipping process !
So you can confirm the payment you must send the fax with the copy of the transfer receipt to US Army Shopping service !
If you are interested in buying it just mail me back with:
- Your Full Name - Required by US Army shopping service (You'll receive important guidelines + instructions from them.)
- Your Shipping Address  - Required by the Logistics Department (They will contact you by email with delivery/pickup instructions 1 day ahead so you can communicate what time schedule work best for your to receive the car)
Again I want to point out that because I am going to Afgaanistan this sale is my top priority and I am looking for a fast transaction, with no delays. That is why I decided to lower the price, to avoid wasting time with negotiations and find a buyer as soon as possible.
Email me back your full name and shipping address so we can start the transaction!
Thanks, hope to do business with you soon!

I receved this from a victim's dad:

My Son Just got scammed out of $4500 he western unioned for a truck on Craigslist. This is the scammers email.
At this moment I am in the military base getting ready for Afghanistan. This mean that I do a special training program and I am not allowed to get out of the unit or give calls whenever I want.The truck is already at the delivery department in MA sealed and ready for the delivery. The delivery can't be a problem because I can do it at no cost for you. You will receive the truck along with all the documents including title, bill of sale, full service records and more .Because it is a large transaction we will complete the deal only using an authorized third party like US Army Shopping Safety Service. The payment will be handled by the Army's Financial Dept and you will benefit of 5 days inspection period (test drive) and the option to accept or reject the truck on my expense. More details at http://www.us-army-delivery.com/
Basically it is like this, you deposit the payment at them, they deliver the truck to you (it takes 2-3 days), you inspect the truck and if it is ok, you have them release me the money and that's it, deal done.
If you would like to move forward with this deal send me your full name and address where you want it sent and we can start the transaction.
scammers name and email: Thomas Easterling tom02east@gmail.com
please dont do business with him.
The sad part is my son just got back from army bootcamp and wanted to spend his hard earned and deserving money. He trusted everything because the scammer used the us army as a third party.
