He hasn't even requested to see the car in person or anything. Does this sound fishy to anyone? Has something like this happened to anyone in the past or heard of something similar?
If I just give him my checking account number and routing information, there is no harm that he can do with that correct? He would need that to make a funds transfer. And then once the money is in my account and I verify it with the bank on the phone, he is good to have the shiping company come pick up the car, correct?
I need some advice on this one.
Thanks,

PS. He just joined the forums, sent me a PM, and then either got banned or deleted his account. That's a strange point as well.

With that info, he can also drain your account. Don't do it.
