I wonder how that works with paypal
I thought paypal was supposed to be safe
TEASE: I wonder how that works with paypal

before they put payment through they ask for your name, address, telephone number and paypal account number..
Sure thay can hack your account then or just go to the address to rob the car
It's a scam whereby they pay through paypal, pick up the car then cancel the credit card that they paid with. They have your car, you've signed the registration over to them because you assume it's fine - it's PayPal after all so it must be! This is an old scam...
the big giveaway is someone willing to buy a car without seeing it..
if its too good to be true..it genuinely is..
if its too good to be true..it genuinely is..
This is known as an "Advance Fee Fraud".
What will happen, is he will claim that the paypal payment won't go through for whatever reason (Or pay it with a stolen credit card that will be recalled or something similar). They will send you 5 or 6 grand extra, to cover shipping.
They will then tell you that someone will come and collect it after all, and if you could return the 5k, that would be fine. You send it back to them and then hear nothing for a few weeks. "Ohhh, who cares!" says you "I have the 10 grand from the car, AND the car". Until the bank call and say that the cheque / postal draft / paypal deposit was fraudulent and that they are withdrawing it from your account.
It's quite similar to the whole "Ohhh hello, I am a Nigerian banker, and a long lost relative has died and left you eleventy million euro!" or the "You have won a lotto you have not entered, so please take our monies!" scams.
If anyone is interested, they actually date back to the 18th century. They were known as the Spanish Prisoner con.

I have same email. MY car also for sale. on Done deal. which i got this reply, Told them not to bother me again, they first text me at 5am. then i got this mail, which u are showing. It's a scam!!
next! a couple came for viewing, also from Donedeal. I took photos from my parents place,so no one will know, the house in the background, Couple from Mullingar, came and view and test drive the car, and love it, I meet them in town,
Next day, she phone, as for anther test drive, and meet at 2pm. funny thing, she knew, where i live? I live near horseleap. very scary
she turn up, and very rude, told her car off the market. she want to take my car for few hrs, without me...maybe scamhere my mail...i got
I have read everything about the car on the website and
i am very much impressed with what i saw.
I have actually tried to get this kind of car here earlier from here but most
of the ones I got either have one huge mechanical fault or the other
and some have even had accidents in the past while some are extremely
exorbitant.
As to the price, Price is Ok. So if you deem
the offer good enough, I will be very glad to make the payment asap
through my PayPal account as I am currently offshore and I won't
definitely be able to make it to my bank to make bank wires across to you.
As to shipping, I have a private shipping agent here in Malaysia that will
come for the pick-up of the merchandise after the payment has been sent
and you have received it in full.
Do get back to me asap with your PayPal Email address and Full name so
that I can remit the payment asap.
So
Hello,
Thanks for the swift reply, What is your asking price and i want you
to get back to me with more pictures because i am not
available at the moment and wont be able to come for the inspection
due to the fact that i am working in Malaysia and will be using the
vehicle here.I will be handling the shipping and pickup through a
legitimate shipping agent that has their headquarter situated in Malaysia.
They will be the one to do the changing of ownership and signing of
all necessary
documents/title before the car leaves your country so there is no
problem about that.
The car will be picked up after you receive the full payment via PayPal which
is fast and easy and this is the only way i can be able to get the
money across to you.
Do get back to me so i can know your stand on this and let me know your final
price and some pictures will do.
Cheers
