Title: Warning - Scammers!
Post by: Carbon RX on January 10, 2013, 02:18:02 PM
To all that may or may not know, my GF is selling her 207cc as can be seen in the for sale section.
My GF has been receiving emails from a guy who states he cant come to see the car but will wire or paypal the money to her and arrange for the collection of vehicle.
 
It is a scam and the guys name i have found noted by others who have also been approached, mainly all from the Auto trader websire evidently.
It seems very popular and most of which state they are working away on an oil rig or like.
 
Just want to bring it to the attn of the club members out there to keep you from falling for it as many other have already! The link below not ony relates to the exact same name of guy approaching my GF but also from the same email too! It saya they are hard to catch and are often not even in the country so authorities dont bother much chasing them up allowing them to continue tryinig to screw us all out of our hard earned...
Be safe guys and enjoy the link as its quite good! It also displays their persistance to screw you over!
 
Bottom line is that Paypal is more and more being used as a tool for scammers... Lots more articles out there about this too.
