I think you saved $1000.00. Don't know if it is a scam, but the 'no bank account' + sending the money to a third party sounds like a lot of hoops to jump though for some reason.

Website doesn't mean that it is necessarily a legitimate outfit - the cost would be easily offset by a few $1000.00 dollar deals (1 in fact).

Also - if I were the seller - I wouldn't do this, you could easily say "the jet is no good" and refuse payment and keep the jet - so I don't think a legitimate seller would take that chance - not that you would have done this.
