Have not sold anything on CL in a while as far as a entire vehicle. I want cash in hand, but just got this earlier after just posting it maybe a hour or two before:




No one in their right mind buys a car without more details and what not. But, what is the scandal on this? They give you money and then say the "item" was never received and then get the money back? Im sure there is some loop hole or something? Anyway, i usually figure out the scam, but not 100% on this one.


Wasnt sure weather to lead the scammer on for the hell of it or what, but didnt feel like wasting time n the A hole.

Thoughts on what kind of BS this guy is pulling?

I mean, i clearly state in the ad that it was a rolling chassis, so that alone makes you know its a retard just trying to screw folks.

Op I sell and buy all the time n CL and this is obviously 100% scam, I still don't know the loop hole or what not as far as trying to get your money but I do know it's a way to get your name,address and email in which they use to sell to companies. - that's all I got.

This happens to me all the time. Once you know they beg you to sign up for paypal for weird reasons thats always a red flag for me. They typically say they are in the military and cannot come look at the car but will send funds through paypal. Bunch of BS.

Pretty sure it's a scam. At some point after they send you the paypal payment, they'll ask you to send money to their "agent" or something like that (because maybe they overpaid). Then after you send the money they cancel the paypal payment. A person would have to be borderline retarded to fall for such a scam. But they are counting on that 1 out of 10,000 to make their day.

Create a fake email address and a separate paypal account. Then scam him instead

Totally a scam.

Nothing new with that. A scam is a scam. I'm deleting those messages as they come.

I've entertained a couple for a bit, but when I ask them for their credit card #, expiration date and CVV code, they suddenly stop responding.

I always ask their location as my brother own his own trucking and can deliver anywhere in the United States and he just get paid on delivery. Its funny how All emails/text stop there.

I've had one similiar. I told the person that I would rather sell it to someone that wasn't going to scam me. I just put it up front and they quit texting me.

This scam is ANYTHING but new. They've been pulling this one for YEARS. I'd go as far as saying it's the oldest one in the book when it comes to online selling.

The scam is they direct you to a fake paypal website, it says you have money when you actually don't. If you look closely you will notice mispellings and differing brand pictures. Don't ever fall for this.
