How should i play this
"My 2003 Nissan Altima SE, is in great shape, no engine problems, clear title, no damages or hidden defects .
It has 86120 km, and the price is $ 3,500 CAD, final price.
http://s917.photobucket.com/albums/ad11/2003_Nissan_Altima_SE/
I worked for a period of time in Canada. I purchased the vehicle from Canada and used it while I worked there. Because of the financial crisis I moved back to my home London, United kingdom as I lost my job from Canada. Very reluctant sale as I can't afford to keep it anymore.
The vehicle is in my garage from Canada. The keys of the garage are here with me and I do not have any relative to show you the car.
Two weeks ago a person told me that he is very interested to buy the car and that I need to fly to Canada to make the transaction as soon as I can. I came to Canada the next day because I trusted his word, but when I arrived I called him and he never answered me again. It's not about the money for the plane tickets but I lost 3 working days for nothing. The time is very precious for me. I am a genuine person and he has disappointed me.
I just want to know if you really intend to buy the car because this time I will fly to Canada only if I have an insurance. I just want to see that you are a serious person and will be no problem if you don't want to buy the car.
Due to amount involved, I suggest using the security provided by eBay's Protection Program which will hold the money until you receive and inspect the car. In my opinion this is the safest way to handle the transaction. You will have the car for inspection and test drive BEFORE any money is released to me.
If you realy are interested please reply with your name and address so I can reserve the car for you.
Regards
Jesikka" |

Wait, what? Scammers don't usually recommend payment services that provide any hint of safety or security... |

Fake escrow. A lot of scammers use this modality to create the illusion of safety. A few official looking emails will usually do the trick, or if they're more sophisticated, a fake website. A very insidious trick used by the more sophisticated scammers, more often vlads (Eastern European) than lads. |

The lads have been known to use fake escrow sites. There will be a last minute problem arise and instead of using Ebay they will switch to a "better" site.
It certainly reads like a scam, why would anyone pay (at least) 1/2 the asking price of a car for a flight from the UK to Canada? Doesn't make sense to me.
scouter, can you post the full headers of the email that you received?

This is a Romanian style car scam.
The chances are that if you play things straight you will receive two official looking e-mails from e-bay; one confirming e-bay insurance and another giving you details of a bank account to send your money to.
I suggest that you play along with the scam and if you get the bank account details send you come back to this tread and someone will tell you how to pass them on to someone who will then pass them onto the authorities. |

"Romanian car scams" are a style of car scam originally from Romania involving fake e-bay and other on-line listings, with follow up confirmation e-mails from spoofed e bay accounts.
These days they can be from just about anywhere. |

Sorry. I'm a computer dummy.My wife got an email reply from this girl after she emailed this woman(or him) about the car..I asked her about the email header and she said she couldn't get it.Deleted i think
Anyway, the car is on the site called buysell.com. All the cars are from across canada.I think this guy has quite a few cars on this site.I've e-mailed sellers about 2 other cars (very sure it's the same guy) yesterday.Haven't gotten any response yet.
The funny part about it is the seller has the cars listed in miles.We always got by kilometers up here in canada. |

I know this may be overstating the obvious, but if this scammer is dealing with you through your regular email account, drop him like a hot rock, then read the "Bait Safe" posts here on the "Eater University" forum.
You can always go back after him from a bogus gmail account set up in the name of a baiting "persona". |

Hello again,
My unit is in great shape,no engine problems,clear title,damages or
hidden defects.It was always garaged and the price is CAD $2,700.
I`m a single mother with 2 children because i divorced with my husband and after the divorce i own this unit, i don`t need it and that`s why i`m selling it so cheap.
My unit is at the shipping company in Victoria,BC.
I will use eBay`s protection program for our safety because I am affiliated there with a
protection account of $20000.I will send you the unit and you have 5 days inspection
period,before you decide to buy it.If for any reason you reject the unit I will pay the
shipping back to my location.
Here is how it will work:
1. First of all I will need the following details from you:
- Full Name
- Full Shipping Address
- Phone number
P.S. Please don`t forget to send me your info!
Best Regards!

I have 4 Gmail accounts set up.having some fun with this guy.He is all over the site with everything from trucks,snowmobiles,atv's.
I gave him a name and billing adress through one of my gmail accounts.He then sent me some info. regarding that ebay protection program? Any ideas on what to do? I'm new at this.
Also, after ignoring him from my wife's email for over a week,he sent another email regading the car.Should he be dropped like Jonas Parker suggested.Is it still safe to play along with him through a regular email account? |

Any contact to accounts related to your real life should be dropped and ignored, only use your baiting addresses.
Any questions about how this plays out, just ask the scammer! Initially you want to play along ldumb like real victims, but ask questions about the protection scheme etc - seem compliant, willing, but a bit thick - the perfect victim. Soon enough he'll send you faked ebay emails, etc, and some bank account details (which you report and get closed down) or demand money through Western Union (in which case we have other fun ways to play with your scammer)
In the meantime, read, read, read - you'll get loads of ideas reading other peoples baits!
Welcome, btw |

I had some idiot about 6 months ago try that on me with a Stratocaster (I make my own guitars, and sometimes sell them on CL).
He tried the old "oversized money order" bit. I insisted local only, cash only....nope, he sent me more crap about how he's scheduling a courier to pick it up. I never disclosed an address, as I knew this was not cool from the get-go (calling the Stratocaster "the item" and referring to the price as "the bid on the item").
Seriously, these people are dense. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a macro of theirs. No real person behind it, no source of amusement. |

I had gotten a E-mail a few days ago from this scammer regarding that Ebay protection program wanting me to go to the nearest western union for payment on a purchase for an ATV.
The scammer gave me her address on this so called secure Ebay protection program. She gave her address in the ebay email.So I punched up the address on whitepages.ca and her name matches up with her adress and gives the phone number in Fort McMurray,Alberta.What's up with that. |

WU payment is a deffo scam indicator.
A lookat the headers is still highly desirable. As I think you are using Gmail for your mail you can get the header using the following method
Quote: |
Log into your Gmail account with your username and password, Open up the mail. To display the email headers, Click on the Reply drop down box and select Show Original. |
Cut and paste everything and delete your own details ( if necessary) |

Oh, I definitly know it's a scam.She also sent me another message for that Ebay protection progran with the same name,but Victoria B.C.
So I checked out that address in the white pages and its a hair replacment businness.
Here's the original header I think.

Wtf? A scammer in my neck of the woods?
Comcast is an internet service provider located in Lenexa, Kansas. If the scammer is using a comcast email address it looks like she's using her internet provider email address. Let me see if I can come up with a name to send this information to. |

Scouter, pm me the info that you have on this. I've got a friend that works with the Kansas City Missouri police department (for those of you that don't know, part of Kansas City is in Kansas, and part in Missouri), and he's going to see if he's got a contact with the KBI (Kansas Bureau of Investigation) that we can forward this to. My friend's wife just had a baby, so it will probably be a week or so before he makes it back into work. That should give us time to get all our ducks in a row. |
