  • Overseas car sale scam

    Does anyone recall the details of how this works. I know they used to do it out of Africa, but a friend of mine is selling his Hawk and the buyer is from Europe. I just wanted some details about this to make sure it doesn't happen to him. Thanks

    Report it to the proper authorities!

    It already sounds like a Scam! They'll ask you to accept a cashiers check with an ammount greater than what the car is selling for and then ask you to return them the difference in form of a money order. They ask that you send the money from your pocket and then cash the check later, but of course, the checks a fake. You can play along just for kicks and get the check and give it to the police as evidence, or just do it to waste their time! I was victim to it, but was unaware of it at the time. I actually tried to deposit the check, and my account was closed due to the fact that I tried to deposit a fraudulent check. I can no longer bank with Washington Mutual as a cause. But atleast I didnt send anybody any money out of my own pocket.

        Be very careful. A good rule of thumb is, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

          Thanks for the quick replies guys. I will relay this thread to him just as a heads up so he can be careful and not get taken. BTW the car in question is a Firehawk. Hate to see it go.
