Title: Car Sales Scams Post by: FieroBUZZ on February 11, 2009, 05:56:00 pm Going through the local Kijiji.com site. Today is particularly bad, with dozens of short ads. Nice cars with ridiculously low prices.
Answered one for a nice restored 1965 Austin Healey 3000. Probably valued at about 25,000 pounds. Asking $5,000. Ad reads 'Must sell today' My answer: I buy you car. I send cheque for 150,000.00 You can deduct your costs and send me the rest with the car. Do not worry about fraud. I use ebay and am a prince. See if I get a reply.

1969 Camoro - pics of a mint/mint blue and white RS, all original etc for $3900 - looked like it would actually bring something north of $60,000 at a Barret Jackson auto. Sellers story was - moved to California, car is in Halifax, selling for husband but she will pay shipping if you put $3900 in escrow with ebay or something like that. If a deal looks too good to be true - it is! Title: Re: Car Sales Scams Post by: dguy on February 12, 2009, 06:50:28 am ;D ;D ;D Gary did you include a telephone number in the 419 area code as well? |
