I knew about a scam just like that about a MKIV Supra and she was selling it for around that price...she said she was from Illinois but just moved back to Italy and wanted to sell it because of the emissions and stuff like that...the whole money issue through Western Union was just twisted too...she wanted me to put it in my grandmother's name or something like that.

Default Scams by Scums

I told one of these guys to open an escrow to transfer title at the Chartered Bank of London and have them contact me. It's fun to hear the bullshit reasons they come up with as to why they cannot comply with sensible suggestions.

The internet cafes in Lagos, Nigeria are full of these losers. They do, however, have a degree of entertainment value. Many people enjoy "playing" them.

Damn, Shows you how out of the loop I am I had actually thought the price had come way down on these cars but I would not have been stupid enough to pay a deposit under those terms.

Most of the time you can just put in the vin number and see where the car was being sold on some site like speedforsale.com. They even use the same pictures, I get that a lot, I like screwing with them though, and you would be surprised if you tell them that you are getting an loan and the loan company wants a copy of the title emailed to you they will give you some edited title. Its funny when they say its a Texas tag and the state stamp says Iowa. Also they normally don't think about changing the peoples names as far as the gov officials that are on the things, look up the persons name and see if they are even an official for the same state as the title says its from. Ill have to dig out some of the stuff I have and post some of the fake titles I have gotten.

Btw my favorite was the guy that I could not call because "I run my own business and my phone is tied up all the time with internet" haha dial up home business hu

The best one is a friend of mine was selling his car and the guy sent him a fake money order for $7000 and he wanted $3000 for the car, he said it was a mistake and wanted him to western union the money back to him so he could come pick up the car. So my friend told him he didn't like using western union and if the guy sent him $5 he would put the money in a box and mail it back to him. The best part is is got a $5 bill in the mail a week later with a return address in Alabama, so that was given to the police and don't know what happened from there.
