I looked into that EXACT SAME car, except it was on auto trader. The ad said he was in Alabama, but then he writes and says he's in bulgaria, and wants me to send a 3000 dollar deposit. All the scams like this are the same, you can tell because of a few things.

1. All of their first emails start with something like "I'm glad you have shown interest in my car"
2. They write in VERY broken english
3. They will not except any payment form other than western Union
4. They have all conveniently just moved to europe.

I tried to tell one I'd be in bulgaria on business in a few days, and told him that I'd like to see the car........he never replied...........hmmmmmmmm

i was trying to sell my eclipse on autotrader, and supossedly a guy in ontario wanted it. i am selling it for 6k obo, and he said he would send me a 12500 check, and for me to western union the difference to him as soon as i get the check in the mail. i knew it was fake, but i wanted to see if he was dumb enough to actually send me a check. i told him i wasnt sending **** back until the check cleared....sure enough...he sent the check, deposited it, it was a fake check. looked real as **** though. i took it to the local police and they said it happens all the time now. that there are kids in south america that send the checks, and have a account in canada. and that they get the money out of the account in canada. but there is nothing the police can do, because US cops arent allowed into their country.

Can you clarify this part of your post?

Runnin Away

You want to see a serious scam..because the car pictures is literally walking distance from my house....

This is bills car he wan'ts 25k for it or somewhere around ther its listed at 5850 i hope people really don't bid

witepsycho

sure....the police told me that like 14-15 yr old kids are able to print checks out in that country (forgot which one it was...it was in south america though) and send them to people in the states. they have a real bank account in canada that the idiots in the states (that actually believe them) would send the money to. but since the US police arent allowed in that country, there is nothing they can do about it right now. they told me to call the FBI. so i did, and the FBI said that they are aware of that scam, and for me to just rip the check up and throw it away.

any better?

Def. 100% scam.

thats the best way to call his bluff, is to say I will be in town and would like to see and test drive the car...

ROTORhead93

Someone tried to scam me like that when i was selling my old car, except they said they were from canada, but the envelope they sent with the check was from Nigeria. All this scamming is really stupid, and the FBI should really do something about it. So many unaware people lose money from this all the time. Anyways, I kept the check just for kicks.

witepsycho

ya thats where they were!! nigeria!! the fed ex envelope he sent me was from texas. and i called him out on it, and told him that if anyone was dumb, it was im, cause if the check was real i would have kept the damn money, there was no contract no nothing...just a check....but ya i threw the check away

Thanks. I find it interesting that with the higher levels of security (terrorist funding/fear) most of N. America is seeing, that Canada isn't paying closer attention to scams like these.

Crazy scammers... After I finished school this past June I decided to take a long vacation before I started working. I hit up Europe, Canada, then Brazil, and it turns out that people in the US are pretty honest compared to the rest of the world. Toronto was scam central, half the people I met there had some illegal side business that made their real money. In Brazil, people would steal power lines during the dark of night because they could sell the raw copper for about 50 reais. Anyway, not that the residents of this country are perfect by any means, but I do appreciate the systems in place here in the US for keeping things in line as well as they do.
