found a car on Auto Traders and the owner is overseas. Says he will use MoneyBookers.com ????? Never heard of them myself how bout any of you out there. Is supposed to be like Pay Pal but deals with large purchase items.

Be careful and check it out real good before you send any money. I have a friend that got burned real bad on an overseas deal. Remember, if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.

[FredGarvin]

Supposedly the owner of the car lives over seas now, bought this cobra mustang limeted edition, pimped it out with all kinds of performance stuff and then realized he could not import it to England. So he left the car behind with moneybrokers. And the price is toooooo cheap. Also says I will be able to check out the car for 10 days before I have to send money. All sounds too good to be true and probably is, but ya always here stories of the guy who finds the '67 split window corvette for 500.00 from little old lady that didn't know better. Just don't want to miss a good one if its legit.4:

How would he sign the title over to you? Is the car at a really good price? If so that is always a tip off.Sounds too risky for me.

 

[davelag]

Total scam, don't do it.

but usualy the little old lady lives right there, and has the title still in the original envelope

 

[HiYoCheeto]

Anybody that buys and pimps out a Cobra Mustang is not a little old lady unaware of what she has.

You have to be hearing the scam alarms going off otherwise you would not be asking. Run the other way.

Sounds like the guy that bought the '67 split window corvette got quite a deal.......seeing that 1963 was the only year they made a split window Corvette Sting Ray :shock: ! hahahahaha

I would be real tempted to have some fun with him and tell him I want to buy the car, but will use my own escrow agency.

I know I guy that got taken by a lady who sold him a luxury SUV and claimed that she would go to the bank and get the title the next day. He paid her, and took the vehicle. Never heard from her again and never got the title. Few months later the SUV gets repossessed (towed off) in the middle of the night. Turns out she didn't even own it, and the real owner (her ex husband) stopped making payments, so the loan company took it back. He lost all the money and no one has seen or heard from the woman since.

 

[Old Crow]

Yea, have a blast with phone solicitors could have some fun with this one.

Saw a gold wing on Cycle trader with same MO. It is a scam. I tried to get the guy to send me an email direct that I could get IP information from but he would only communicate via CT. Tried to get Cycle Trader to provide tracking information and folks that is one sorry @$$ company! They were worthless.
