Take great care when a third party offers you such vehicles. Only a few years
ago, someone in Cornwall, UK, was advertising boxed M151A2s for sale in the
Exchange and Mart magazine. I said I would buy 2 immediately, but I wanted to
see them before I parted with cash. Despite all the promises, they never
appeared.
Eventually, it turned out to be a complete scam. I didn't part with any cash,
but apparently, a car dealer in the UK did, and he lost the lot. The
"complete Hummers" for sale is the nearest equivalent to "Jeeps in crates".
When it arrives at your doorstep, complete with SF97, then believe it.

Unless you're completely gormless (Uk expression of naivete)....keep your
cash in the bank.

Better still, if you do suspect a scam....... report the details to the
DRMS.... they frequently ask for people to report such scams to them, such as
the "Jeeps-in-crates" offers.

Kind regards.....
