***** Moderator's Note **** I believe we have established that this is a scam. The list has received about a dozen copies of this note already, so unless you have some new information regarding this incident, please consider this thread closed. Mike G Moderator of the Week ***** I got the exact same email. The person that wrote it needs to go back to school because his enlish is bad with poor grammer. I aked him where inside the USA he lives and he didn't tell me so it is a scamm. Because if he were for real he would have no problem telling me which state he lives in so I could pick up the car if I bought it. He did not tell me so it will be hard to track him down after he scamms someone. --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, toscano2@xxxx wrote: > > re: the "too good to be true" auction I wrote about yesterday...the seller has finally sent me something more than a one-word answer. This thing just gets weirder and weirder...anyone know if this is indeed the same car being offered within the last month or so by a scammer? Obviously I no longer plan to purchase this, I just find it interesting: > > Hello, > First, I want you to know that I live in USA,but for the moment I'm in > England.Two mounths ago my cousin died in a tragic car accident. > My cousin family need money urgently and thatsware i sell this car so > cheap,becouse i want to help they. > The car is in excelent condition .It has a title clear wich you will > recive along with the car and two rows of keys. > The buy it now price is 3500$ and I want a deposit in the same day when > you will receive the car. > Regarding the payment method i would like to use Square Trade like a 3rd > party for the deposit.Square Trade is a affiliated company of eBay.They (as > you can see on ebay site map) develop the program Safe Harbour - Fraud > Protection.I am a seal member and that's mean I am backed up for all my > auctions on ebay.I pay them fees for that! > The car is in US and it is allready to Square Trade,they inspected and tested the car to > see if the description on eBay matches with the real condition. > Look how they work: > 1.I will contact them , and I will send your shipping information. > 2.They will send us mail forms (the forms will be from customer support > team) for you about payment deposit. > 3.Those forms must be filled by every part of this deal(me and you) > with infos that they required. > 4.We must submit the forms. > 5.After you will inspect the car,Square Trade will send me the > payment infos and I shall pick up the money. > This means a 3rd party. > If you want to go on with this deal , mail me asap and I will require > those forms right now also I need your complete name and address. > After all that will be done,the car will be shipped from Square Trade,and > will arrive to your place in max. 10 days. > You will receive a tracking # in the same day that the car will be > shipped. > I forgot to tell you that the shipping is free if you pay the amount that i > asked. > Best Regards!
