Anybody selling, caution! New scam!

[LX93RiceKill]

Ok guys, I've got my Stang listed in our Classifieds. Well I go to my own email, and find this in my inbox. I've had to deal with these before, but to anyone who hasn't... This is what a scam looks like.

So if anyone is selling anything right now, be careful. And if you get an email that sounds like this, here's a good response to send back...

Hello,

If you are interested in the Mustang, Email me with a phone # I can reach you at. No offense, but I've dealt with scammers before, and your email sounds completely automated. If I'm wrong, I apologize. Otherwise, here's the deal...

I will not ship the car. I will not release the car until the "money order" is cashed. I will not accept personal checks, money orders, cashiers checks, or payment of any kind from any account outside the U.S. Nor will I release the car to an agent, middleman, anyone other than the actual buyer of the car.

In addition, if the "money order" I recieve is for greater than the agreed purchase price, do not ask me to send you the difference. I will not accept or cash it.

I really can't stand these bastards, they're all over ebay motors, like mosquitos. Annoying as hell.

Been around for awhile. Good thing you're not one of the suckers that has fallen for it. Good look with the sale.

This should be a sticky for all those future mustang owners.

Just from the wording of that msg i would think its a scam. No one talks like that....

Tell that to the boss.

Thank you and you are most welcome. I'm just here to make the place as good as it can be. I'll joke around and have fun as much as the next person, but when it's time for business, there is no room for games.

Take care.

I got that one recently too.

I got the same thing for the 306 crank kit I have on here. The guy said he was a pilot in Denmark and only uses a specific company for all his shipping.

I got that on PARTS I listed, they acted like they were interested in a car. I knew they were a douchebag scam right off the bat. Morons. Same exact E-Mail address too.
