The door to door shipping sounds a bit much. If you had a credit card you could charge it on that, and if it was a scam all you'd be out is $50, right?

There is a rear plate, but the characters are whited out.

I never understood why people swirl, white out, obscure their license plate in Internet pictures anyway.

I personally would call the local base and get the Corp's involved. They would take a real poor view of this and would probably investigate it faster than anyone else. Definetly a scam, but to use a Solders name to do it ,thats low.
