HI, IM WRITING HERE BECAUSE SOME OF THE PEOPLE OUT THERE DPNT KNOW ABOUT THIS SCAM AND WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS I POST MY CAR FOR SALE FOR $13,000 AND THIS CLOWN IN HIS FIRST EMAIL HAD WROTE

Hello,
My name is Paul Justin,am interested to buy your 2000 turbo ls v-tec civic , i want you to get back to me,with the last offering price,hope to hear from you.

Justin

AND I HAD TOLD HIM ITS A CLEAN TITLE AND I AM SELLING IT FOR $13,000 NO LESS AND THEN IN THE SECOND EMAIL HE WRITES

Thanks for your mail,I have spoken to my client and he has instructed me to inform you that payment will get to you in a cashier check of $18,100 which is a refund payment of a cancelled order earlier made by my client.so you are required to deduct cost of the 2000 turbo ls v-tec civic i.e $13,000 when payment gets to you and refund balance $5,100, to my Agent via western union money transfer for him to be able to offset shipping charges. Since I reside in Fulham, London.
After payment has reached you and balance sent back to him,our agent will come and pick up title and take it to a prepaid shipper to be shipped to my customer,while title papers and other necessary documents will be sent to you via fedex courier to my customer. I could send the check to you through fedex courier immediately. Please forward your full names, address and phone number .

Thanks
Justin

AS YOU CAN SEE YOU CAN TELL WHERE THE SCAM IS, WHEN HE SENDS THE MONEY IT SHOWS IN THE ACCOUNT FOR 2 OR 3 DAYS AND THEN HE WOULD WNAT YOU TO SEND SOME OF THE MONEY THAT DIDNT EXIST BACK AND WOULD HAVE SOME1 COME AND TRY TO GET OVER THE TITLE AND OTHER INFORMATION. ONCE GIVEN YOU WOULD GO INSIDE AND LOOK ON UR ACCOUNT AND THERE WOULD BE NO MONEY AT ALL. HIS EMAIL ADDRESS IS justinpa8@yahoo.co.uk

TAKE CARE EVERYONE AND BE SAFE.

 

Thanks for looking out for us bro.

But please turn caps lock off.

Because some people think CAPS are annoying to read. Everything just looks like sticks.

 

thanks... i hope everyone knows of this by now.. this is not the first or the last time we'll read any of this.

 

Man these scams are becoming more and more popular. Thanks for the heads up. You could try italics next time to separate.

damn scammers... they seem to be getting pretty slick.. they are like viruses.. just as you comeup with a soulution or cure they change so you cant get rid of them!!!

 

cant you just take the check cash it, wait 10 days to clear then sell your car?

 

Great looking out.. Doesn't pertain to me or ever will. But great job.

 

Check was cleared for my sister in 3 days.. sent the money Western Union, then a week later was told by her bank that the check was fake. Hopefully she can sue for her money back.

 

Wow, this has been around for quite some time. I thought everybody had heard of it.

 

i've heard of this before. also heard of one where they tri to get you to use a CC. of course the card is stolen, but you don't know that for a while.

 

My GF was hit like this also a few years ago. Seemend okay and check looked real. sad thing is kinda sux that bank says its not thier fault. They clear the check and let you draw on it then a few days later bam! you find out its not real and you are out cash. Isn't that waht the bank is for???!! seems kinda shitty that they can screw up and then pass the BS down to you. mo

 

you should have gone through with the deal and let him eknow that the western union was on its way then contact athorities and when he comes to collect his "cash" he gets a big set of handcuffs. ********

 

The same thing happened to my friend and his Spec V. Some guy in a foreign country said a deal with another car fell through so he was sending him a check and wanted 3g's of it returned as well as the car. Put the check in and it was a bogus account. Bastards tryin to scam

 

dood my boy got the same email when he was selling his AMG wheels on craigslist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he was selling them for 2000 and he said that his client wants to send a 4000 dollar check and he is to refund the difference. thats some crazy ****

Something Corporate owns! so does DriveThroughRecords

 

Good lookin' out.
Places to find these bastards:
1. Auto trader
2. Craigslist
3. Anywhere you advertise your car

 

Definately beware of anybody contacting you from Nigeria. I recieved two copies of this e-mail today. It's not really car related, but it's the same kind of scam because they want to send "money":
