This is a joke right?

aackshun

is it one of those where "I moved and it's too expensive to register the car" or "I need the money fast so I can make a deposit" type pleas? I just got one for this scion TC and the guy is in switzerland and he wants like 6K for it, also before that one i got another one for a TL for 3 grand, all the same lines lines like "I need money fast for a quick deposit on my house" or etc.

The advice that has been given to me is if i cant drive it before i buy it, then don't buy it.

Also from what I've read on the internet is that some of these car scams are ran through escrow and other foriegn wire transfer services.

TacoBellSauce

their email address where ive been gettin the details from is fortis-escrow-inc@instruction.com

i have sent an email if they would accpet credit card or paypal instead of a transfer and if the product is what it says i will tranfer the rest to them

btw, its an 03 BMW X5 4.4i with 42k on it for $7k posted on craigslist

Siddig

Just don't know a scam when you see one huh?

7K for an X5? does it come in a cube?

TacoBellSauce

damn i feel stupid
i didnt even hear of escrow before so i didnt know
they stated that first payment has to be made thru western union

haha, just got an email from them while writing this:
Dear Customer ,

This Case is closed.

Sincerely,
Fortis Escrow Financial Department


hahaha, good looks everyone
thanks a lot, saved me $$$$

i love acurazine
and i feel like a retard right now lol

TacoBellSauce

also, is there a way i can report this fraud?

Siddig

Whats the point...you know how many of those are listed a day?

I bet if you click on the same craigslist link it say the listing has been flagged down by users.

remember, if the price is too good to be true..........

In the future, typically an escrow service is used for the deposit. NEVER send a deposit outside of the escrow service if you are using one for a transaction.

iTimmy

you should see what else they have for sale.... right?

AQUI NO!

are you serious?
WOW, you should send them money for two, one for you and one to resell.
