Beware of Scams!

The best policy when dealing with ANY large transaction on the Internet is to deal with people locally. Beware of out-of-state buyers, espescially out-of-country buyers. Automobile transactions should be made face-to-face, or at least be certain not to release your vehicle until you have cash in hand.

An Example of a Scam

The following is an example of how people may try to scam you when you list a vehicle on line:

The first message will look something like this:

Message from duke
(dmoreautocars04@yahoo.co.in, 4470 2409 2730):

my client is interested in your car please contact me with
your last bottom price and the interior pics if your car is
still available

If you reply, the second message may look something like this:

Hellow  lou, we have concluded,
Thanks for your email and update on the bottom
price($10,400),it was accepted by my clientand he  has
directed us to issue payment to you. I would need your
assurance that the property whose payment we would start
processing,is in a good condition as the only view our
client had of the vehecle was on the internet and this
purchase is hinged on his personal judgement of what the
property's state and output would be like,in comparison to
models of its category. However,he made out a certified
cashiers check of($16,400) before he
travelled for a conference,for a previous vehecle and its
shipment charges etc,but it wasunfortunately sold. The
amount on the check he deposited for the vehecle is bigger
than what should be paid to you now, so the check is now
meant for the total expenses which includes the purchase of
your vehecle ,its pick up from its present location and the
shipping charges/other necessary shipping
arrangements.However he has instructed us to bikery on with
this transaction. So when payment gets to you, you're
required to deduct the cost of your vehecle ($10,400) and
send the balance of($6,000) to my client shipping agent to
enable him offsett shipping charges/arrangements. Once the
transaction is concluded, My client shipping agent will be
coming for the pick up of the vehecle from its present
location, on an access to a prepaid shipper for
shipment,and also conclude other necessary shipping
arrangements. So you dont have to bother yourself about the
pick up and shipping rrangements, while title papers and
other necessary documets will be sent by you via fedex
courier . Please Confirm this and provide (1) NAME (2)
CONTACT ADDRESS AND CONTACT PHONE NUMBER(s) for check
payment to be delivered to you via regular mail immediately
, please remove the add of the vehecle from the internet to
avoid
complications from other buyers
