SCAM ALERT SCAM ALERT

We have been contacted by a number of advertisers about individuals, generally from a foreign country, answering "Car for Sale" and "Part for Sale" ads, offering to send a cashier's check for the full asking price of the vehicle plus an additional amount intended as a loan payment, or shipping fee. The person responding to the ad later asks to have any excess funds, or a full refund in the case of a part purchase, refunded to him or a third party. The original check that is presented to the bank by the seller turns out to be non-negotiable or bogus.

Some red flags to look for with these offers are:

  • The inquiring party asks few (or no) questions about the vehicle or parts; i.e. condition, equip, mileage, etc.
  • You are immediately offered the full asking price or close to it.
  • A sense of urgency is conveyed in making the transaction as soon as possible.

    If you accept an offer, please take the check to the bank to verify its authenticity before releasing cars, parts, or excess funds. Most financial institutions require at least 10-15 business days before the check will clear; it is important to wait the full 15 days. An honest buyer won't mind the slight delay and will understand your desire to be cautious.

    Scammers are also beginning to change their tactics. Some are requesting account information such as routing numbers in order to (supposedly) wire funds. Please do not provide any information without first checking with your financial institution. Scammers have also begun advertising very high-end cars (on the web) with an asking price that is too good to be true. Contact method in the ad is usually a Yahoo or MSN email address. Scammer then instructs buyer to wire, credit or mail a deposit to hold the car.

    Unfortunately there is no way for us to police the web site or prevent scammers from answering the ads, and it appears they are targeting all of the auto related web sites. We are alerting people to these offers and advising they use common sense and proceed with extreme caution when responding to any offers from questionable sources.
