Hi guys.
A friend of mine is trying to sell his old car, and he has already recieved a couple of scammer's emails.
There is no problem about identifying them, but I would like to know exactly how would they work if my friend was actually a victim:
Case 1: The lad says he will send someone to pick the car. He wants to pay double the price in cash.
Case 2: The lad says he will pay the car, plus €500 if he immediately cancels the advertisement.
What do you think?
Thx!!!! |

Sends a check, overpays, then tells him to send the remainder to the shipper. The check bounces and your friend is out the money and in trouble. That's basically it in a nutshell. |

I have heard about overpaying and then telling the seller to pay the remainder back.
What I found really courious about these two ones is that they are overpaying, but they are already telling it to the seller, so afterwards they can't ask for the remainder back. Or will they overpay even more? |

The whole payment will be fraudulent. The scammer will likely send a fake check for more than the amount of the item. The victim deposits the check and sends the "overpayment" to the lad. It takes a while for the check to come back as forged or fake but when it does, the victim is out any amount he sent to the scammer and is responsible for the amount the check was for per his bank.
Edited to add, here's an explanation posted at Scamwarners: http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10 |
