Default i inquired about an e36 m3 for my girlfriend on autotrader and got this reply

the price of the car is 12.000$ but only if you will buy it now.!!!
The car is in 100% working and looking condition, just like the day it was brougt,
no flaws or dents, no scratches or any kind of damage, no flood or wrecked car.
this Car is in Italy Rome. it was in California ..but now is at my place in
Italy-Rome .i moved here with my job and family ,
The reason I am selling the car so cheap is because the emission restrictions here
in Italy are higher then the ones in the US ans I can not use the car here, the car
was bought from the US and it is manufactured for the US market so you will have no
problem with registration and title transfer, the car has a US clean and clear title
that is going to be shipped along with the car.and i can ship to you anytime you
want. i will ship by Lufthansa air Cargo and you will receive it in 2-3 days. i will
pay all shipping taxes if you will buy it now!
first of all you have to make an dep osit so i can see that you have the money
avible. and realy want to buy my Car.
after you will make this deposit i will ship the Car with the title to you. i will
pay all shipping taxes
:1. SHIPMENT :
I am currently located in Italy and the car will be shipped from here with by
airplane with Lufthansa Air Cargo or Carregi Cardo.CO.LTD. I will ask 10-20%
deposit to seal the deal.
2. PAYMANT : You will arrange payment through wired transfer
(www.westernunion.com).
All you have to do is go to www.westernunion.com and find an local agent near you
were you have to go and send the funds or to make the wire transfer online..
3. INSURANCE
The car will be insured at the delivery service and insured for the transport.
4. RETURN POLICY
As soon as the car arrives, you will test the car and if it does not matches 100% to
your expectations, you will return it in max. 7 days since the arrival date. In this
case I will send you the full amount back and you will send me the car in the
original crate and you don't have to pay the return shipping and insurance.
If this will be ok with you just email back with your info and tell me what info you
need more about the car and the transaction and you will have it.
Sincerely hope to do the transaction.
5. In the 7 days inspection period you decide to buy the car send the remainig
balance and i will send the car's papers
please e-mail me asap.

regards



sure thing buddy... the money is on the way

Default Can you smell the scam?

www.westernunion.com wire transfer says it all..

They get the routing number and re-route the money
(They are probably in the U.S. or Nigeria or
Romania) and you get nadda...

Default I always wondered how you send it back in the original crate

obviously they are going to take your money and not send you anything but how would you return a car in the original crate. its not like you just leave the crate on your lawn for a week.

Default what color is it?? I almost fell for the exact same thing?

about two months ago i started talking to this guy/girl about a 2003 bmw m3 convertible. He/she told me that they lived in italy now, and they had to sell the car because it didnt meet emmision standards there? that was the biggest red flag, then i asked him how he would ship the car, and he told me that fed ex was going to ship it for me. i called fed ex immediately and asked them if they ship large objects, like cars, they told me NO!!!! This was a wa to good to be true story, he wanted me to send him $999 via best western, and the rest we would worry about when i recieved the car? then he told me that he would gladdly pick up the shipping chargesfor the car to be shipped to the U.S. I never went for it, damn scam artists.

Default same exact scam that i i almost fell for, holy ****tt!! This guy has *****! his statement atached

So,all you have to do is to make a deposit for the amount using wired transfer-western union, the deposit will be make in cash or online at www.westerunion.com and for this you need my name and address:
Trish Burton
VIA ORRACCIO DI TORRENOVA 92/A
Rome
Italy
00133
The amount that you have to send it is 1500$ .After this you email me he following informations:
MTCNmoney transfer control number)
correct sender name and address
correct receiver name and address
fix amount that you have send it.
To make the payment all you have to do is to find a western union local office and go there with the money in cash and with my name and address or you can use your credit card to send the payment on-line at www.westernunion.com , after this email me the details that i need.
After i make the delivery i will email to you the following details:
-Tracking #
-Scanned receipt from Federal Express
-Scanned receipt that show you that the car has been scanned and is ready for delivery.
-Exact data and hour when the car will arrive to your address(maximum 7-8 days).
To avoid fees from Federal Express and from Western Union all we have to do is:
ME--i have to declare the car as a gift for you and in this way you
will pay NO custom fees and you will receive the car very fast.
YOU--have to declare at Western Union that you send the money to a friend in Italy that need this money, in this way when our deal will be finished and i get the money from W.U.they will not gone ask me 10% from the total amount that you have send it, they will gone ask me just 3% or 4%.(ALL OF THIS ONLY IF YOU AGREE) Please let me know when you can make the payment and after this i will start the delivery process.

I am selling the car so cheap because the car was manufactured for the US market but since I am in Italy it doesen't meets the emission standards here so I can't use it or sell it here so I must get rid of it and I am practicly giving it away but I have no other choise. Shipping and insurance of the car will be on me,no extra of hidden charges and the car has a clear US title so you will have no problem with registation. The car has never been in any accidents, no scratches, dents, flaws or andy kind of damage.

Yes I will pay for the shipping fees, and the car is a 2003 BMW M3 SMG 2 VIN WBSBL93432JR15224
