jerry S said:Plenty of fraud going on there. I found a Nigerian who was selling a non-existant car in NY. A dutch guy I know wanted help so I looked into it. The car was supposed to be in NY but the seller would not allow a prior inspection without a down payment. He gave a cell phone number that traced back to Spain. His IP address traced back to London, England. He wanted a prepayment to a fraudulent online escrow service. I warned the buyer off and started baiting the guy myself. I replied to the ad and said I wanted to inspect the car. The guy wanted money up front. I kept hesitating but finally agreed after a series of emails. He asked for my contact info and I gave him the phone number for a NYPD police precinct. Afterwards, I sent him emails asking why he did not contact me. He never replied. Then I told him I was a police officer conducting an investigation into internet fraud and that I was cooperating in an investigation with English police. I told him I was disclosing this info because a warrant for his arrest in NYC had been issued and it was only a matter of time before the English Police got him. I am sure I scared him only just a little.
Capt Dan said:WOW! I sent him an email too. He sent me some pics of the motor and said he would cover the cost of the shipping here to the US. All for $8000. What a deal.
Hello Daniel,

Capt Dan said:e-mail chain thus far (reverse order):
So how much is shipping from Italy to Texas on Lufthansa? :Total-CP:
And remember, if you don't like it, you can just return it. Simple as that, just like bringin something back to Wal-Mart. LOL.Capt Dan said:e-mail chain thus far (reverse order):
