    Make sure to at least get the company's name and do a quick google search.

    My friend recently sold his Mitsu Montero to a company in Florida that exports to South Africa. They found his truck via Craigslist, offered him full asking price. Sent a certified money order and they allow 4-6 weeks for it to clear before they send a flatbed.

    He checked out their website, and they had a ton of experience doing this sort of thing, and no BBB reports. He was very happy with the sale.

    did they offer you more money than you were asking with the request to give it to a friend that they owed money to?
